Forgive me for getting a little blue, but really.

Democrat…Republican…

Embezzeller…Racketteer…

There’s not much difference, really, and it’s all because we’ve let corporations start calling the shots.

Nothing will change until we stop corporations from calling the shots and make it so that our political process is supported by, and serving the needs of, CITIZENS, not corporations.

Corporations? What happened to the unions, the Chinese and interest groups like the religious right? Come on, you’ve got to be fairer and give credit where credit is due. :rolleyes:
