65. That is totally Amazing.
I watched about 5 "clips" from Grayson and CBS News (gosh, just 3 1/2 short years ago, CBS would actually investigate and report on "our" government.)

The constant theme (besides the Billion$ that were stolen) was that OUR Justice department, "Hey William Holder", was "investigating" these blatant profiteering claims. I have not heard of (and it had not happened by 2008) ANY major corporation being charged, prosecuted, anything.

Is prosecuting War Profiteers "off the table" too?

Should we not "look back" at this Huge Theft of American dollars? Currently, WE are enduring increasing AUSTERITY measures.

THEY are increasingly being TAXED LESS and given MORE AUTONOMY to SCREW EVERYONE except, of course, the wealthy. Then they would, at least, have a civil lawsuit against them.

We supposedly ELECTED a PRESIDENT to REPRESENT the average American. Sadly, President Obama has not fulfilled his obligation. Admittedly, we have no recourse. We only have two political parties and the Republican platform and candidates are even worse than who we have. I wholeheartedly supported and campaigned for President Obama.

WE MUST as a nation of voters (even the few who actually do vote) invent (or borrow an existing system, my God) and IMO, WORK HARDER to get this "different voting option" (because we need more options available to us) adopted and working, than WE have ever worked on ANY CIVIC IMPERATIVE.

This SHOULD be BI-PARTISAN. I am positive that many from the GOP feel just as disenfranchised as we do.

If we cannot legislate it. Let's JUST DO IT. It is not illegal for voters to effectively change their "style" of voting or their process for nomination. Really, This is urgent and imperative. If we do not start it will never happen.

There is probably already a site devoted to this change in our voting system. If you know of one, please post it or P.M. me it's address. Thanks.
