Elections alone don't bring about real change. |
|
Think about the Civil Rights movement, the Women's Suffrage movement, the draft resistance during the Vietnam War. Add the abolition of slavery to this list.
None of these came about as a result of Lincoln/JFK/Nixon, etc., being elected POTUS. Nor of Sen./Rep. of whatever state(s) being elected.
REAL CHANGE is something the people have to demand. It's going to be that way with a national health plan. I don't like it either, but that's the way it is.
