Twenty million of us need to march on Washington. Either in person or on Facebook and Twitter. We need to elect people that are not aligned to special interests or big corporations. Each time they create a piece of legislation they need to ask, "is this good for the American People?" We have two parties that have missed their market and we can move the country in a positive direction.
William Winokur creator of "The Slice" says "You know the difference between Republicans and Democrats? One steals your money and gives it to their friends; the other steals your money and gives it to strangers. The only thing they got in common is that they wanna keep us fighting over the stupid shit."
So here is a radical idea: why not get 20 million of us together to march on Washington and demand that this government support the actual people.
Two of my close friends have come to me this past couple of weeks to share with me that their career is over. Technology has made them obsolete and they are now in need of reinventing themselves.
We all sat on our hands and watched as the auto workers jobs, telemarketing jobs, and many other healthy segments of our economy were shipped overseas. We all did nothing. Now we can see the writing on the walls. Accounting jobs are being shipped overseas. Next it will be lawyer jobs.
Are we really this apathetic that we are going to sit on our bark loungers and let the cable TV wash over us and do nothing?
We are 300 million Americans being held hostage by 535 people in Washington. They come out and give speeches that make us feel good and then act in opposition to their own very words. We buy into it and keep re-electing the same people.
2012 is the opportunity for us to take back what is left of this country and move in a positive direction. We can restore America to the greatness we once held in the world.
Why not try...
We need independent candidates to run for political office against every incumbent and we need to rally the people to vote new people that represent us into office.
What happened to government of by and for the people? What happened to our Constitution? What happened to being able to look into a child's eyes and promise him or her that if they work hard and study and become educated that there will be a job waiting for them at the end of that road? Can you honestly promise children of today that they have a future with an income to look forward to?
I want to be able to make those promises and mean it. I want to be able to give all of the people of America access to opportunity and the American Dream. If we don't act the jobs we will be outsourcing might be yours...
