Until money is taken out of politics...

[SHRED]

...until it is not viewed as "speech", we will continue with a government of the corporates, by the corporates, and for the corporate elitists.
We will continue to vote on privately owned corporate voting machines that run with proprietary (secret) source code.

Fascism baby.

Publicly funded elections and vote counting now!

1. Corporations views political donations as investments.

They don't hand over any cash unless they know they'll get a return on that investment.

Publicly funded elections and vote counting now!!!!

3. We the People

ATTENTION:
Mr. President and Members of Congress.
Be you Democrats, Republicans, Independents or, any other flavor of politician.


We the People ... Sent you a message at the election last November.
You ... Did not listen.

We the People ... Voted in the polls over the previous months.
You ... Have not listened.

We the People ... Have shown repeatedly that your approval rating stinks.
You ... Are still not listening.

We the People ... Must regretfully conclude that you have no intention of listening.
You ... Seem not to care what we desire.

THEREFORE:

We the People ... Who are the activists who volunteer our time to your campaigns.
We the People ... Who contribute freely of our talents to you.
We the People ... Who donate our MONEY to further your chosen profession.
We the People ... Are now forced to turn our time, resources and MONEY in another direction.

BECAUSE:

You ... Choose to disregard us. Choose to make light of our contributions.
You ... Have forgotten that we are the activists that vote in the primaries.
You ... Ignore the fact that we help promote Get Out The Vote campaigns.
You ... Take our MONEY and then do as you please.

BE IT RESOLVED:

We the People ... Will no longer give of our time, resources and MONEY to support you.
We the People ... Will turn you out at the next Primary or General Election.
We the People ... Are sick and tired of your actions or non-actions, as the case may be.

UNLESS:

You ... Show us that you are listening to us. Remember us? We the People?
You ... Do it decisivly, without nuance, without dissembling.
You ... Stop putting your petty partican politics in front of our desires.

YOU THINK ABOUT IT:

We the People ... Produced this ad. It took time. It took resources and talents. It takes MONEY to run it.
You .. Did NOT get any of that. Will you continue to "Not Get It?"

WE THE PEOPLE ... Have spoken. Are speaking again. Will continue to speak.
YOU ... Have a choice. 1: To listen. or 2: To not listen. Pick one.

STOP THE WAR IN IRAQ ... NOW.

WE THE PEOPLE ... Are Watching.
WE THE PEOPLE ... Will be back.
