Howdy all my DU sisters and brothers
Advertisements [?]
I love you all, regardless of our various views on this and that. I hate the feeling that no one is looking out for us. This government doesn't care about us. This is obvious. I honestly believed that Mr. Obama wanted to make a change. Unfortunately he is a puppet of the power elite, he is prisoner of his position. He has been compromised on everything, not only by the GOP; but his own party. I really worry about what America is becoming. Let's face it we are suffering through an oligarchy, a short step from fascism.

The bottom line is our elected representatives, with a few exceptions, don't give a shit about us. What are we going to do? We need to take it back. How? I really don't know. This is a call to minds. We are smarter than them. They have the money and power, we have our minds and words. How are we going to take it back.

I honestly believe our country can lead the way. We have have great people that inspire us to greater things. I trusted Mr. Obama. I am disappointed, along with a huge member of the DU population, in what has happened the past two + years. What is the answer? I don't know. But our system is broken. We have watched our democracy turn into a joke. What do we do? Any ideas?

Peace,
Max
