America urgently needs a new leadership that will throw out the totally corrupt Corporate Power

people, who have such a powerful stranglehold over our government and our people.

Yes, we do need a leader, and we need one very badly. It's hard to imagine we have
fallen mentally to such a low point that nearly half of our people would vote for morally
depraved politicians who would fight against health insurance for everyone, social security,
increasing minimum wage, etc., but would allow the upper 0.1% to successfully get away
with all their greedy and criminal schemes to take more away from the middle and poor
classes - making them still poorer.

Just Google "Psychopaths rule the world," and you will find hundreds of thousands of
articles on the topic. Our world has always been ruled by sick and greedy people, except
for brief periods. One of the last ones was begun by F.D. Roosevelt and his New Deal. This
enlightened period began roughly with WWII and lasted some 50 years before the old forces
of selfishness and greed began to make its come-back again. We have Richard Nixon and
especially Ronald Reagan to thank.

We badly need a leader to bring our nation out of the sick mess we are in. An extremely
difficult task lies ahead, but right now we have sincere and courageous people like Bernie
Sanders and Elizabeth Warren who are willing to attempt it.

Let's give them all the support they need.

country in the world. Of course corporations are doing their best with their propaganda
and lies to keep us from knowing, that they are stealing and robbing from the rest of
us. As a result, our nation is going downhill -- fast.

If more of our people knew about this, do you think they would take it lying down, and
simply allow these corporate criminals to continue what they are doing?
