If you're feeling small and powerless, just rememeber this...
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. "

Margaret Mead
US anthropologist & popularizer of anthropology (1901 - 1978)

3. I Agree. We will change the world
We will bring out the fraud. We will prevail over these forces.

But I am not sure I agee with the last part of his quote "Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Evil, greedy, powerhungry people have also changed the world. Just look at "*"

That is the very reason our small group of deeply committed people must continue to push forward. Our voices can make these people accountable. We can change things if we remain committed.

5. I don't want to change the world, right now
but saving the United States from neo-facsism is certainly first on my agenda!
