I'm sorry but as long as corporations run our government

and their lobbyists write our laws, the people and their welfare will always be subjagated and their voices not totally heard. I support revolution by ballot or other means. I have only one life to do right.i certainly prefer peaceful means.

NOTHING CHANGES. Step one in the revolution and only ONE candidate understands this.

I would never have seen us at this position before since my father was a World War ll vet and a believer in what Roosevelt did but here we are. He also loved the Kennedys.

I want transformation for fairness. Start from the right place.

Also, hard things often sound ridiculous.

btw, I'm not for Dr. Guillotine's human solution to income equality and oligarchal rule. I'm more for putting them at the oars.
