1. K/R

This is probably the most important thread on DU today.

2. K&R!!! +1,000,000,000,000 REC!!! Cannot REC enough!

This is the most important issue since DU began!

We need to gather together all like minded people who agree that the corporate money/influence has gone too far. As Bill and Jim Hightower state here, it's time to hit the streets. They talk about how some Republicans are starting to realize their politicians will do nothing for them, and actually side with their big donors when the Fracking affected them (the only time they wake up from the Fox mass hypnosis)! If we can engage Republicans we can build an unstoppable mass. We can let them know that while we have serious policy differences, this helps us all and will allow true Representative Democracy to sort out our way forward from there!

This happens to be an ideal time to start Protests/Marching with the mid-terms coming this Fall.
I would suggest we shoot for a national/international 1st day of protest:

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 13th!!!!

That gives people time to organize in their hometowns and we can build on it after leading up to the mid-terms! OWS caught them off guard and they will be ready to fight us. We need to talk to cops we know and let them know that this is for them and their kids too. This time, the difference is that we will not be fractured by a litany of issues. We have 1 issue now, GET THE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS!!!

I am not rich, famous and/or tech savvy, but I know many of you are! Please help me spread the word and get this date out there. It's time to do something, and we are the ones to do it!!!

Thanks Bill Moyers, keep it up!!!!!

3. Two American heroes

Bill Moyers and Jim Hightower are two of my heroes. The "Hightower Lowdown" is funny, smart, and positively essential.
Great show, great ideas. Thanks for posting.
