Reply #5: you're right

I guess I was so excited reading the different ways to directly impact corporations - Cross-border worker solidarity, comsumer boycotts, challenging and changing the corporate charters, etc. - that I didn't really absorb the broader meaning of the conclusion. I believe these are excellent places to focus and are issues that most people, no matter what their political persuasion could understand and get behind. The divide would be more of a class division I imagine, although it seems that the regressive red staters are all too willing to vote against their own economic well-being - so what do I know... lol!

We're so far down right now that any steps we can take are urgently necessary. Like you said, these can be the first steps on the long road that will hopefully gather momentum, strengthen our numbers and get us on the road to taking the power out of their hands and back to ours!!

One of the most frustrating parts of where we are right now is our loss of a free press. It's like we're living in his little alternate reality that only we know about. I sometimes get really scared when my computer screws up because I feel so totally alone and separate from the mainstream world that is shoved down our throats on the corporate news channels and in most of the newspapers.

I know DNC Chairman is not a particularly influencial position as far as policies but I do hope Dr. Dean will be with us on this. I also have hopes that he'll address our fraudulent voting system. He personally saw how easy it is to hack into the vote tabulating machine. He KNOWS! He truly doesn't seem to be part of the "insiders" power elite and neither is General Clark. If the two of them would join forces with the handful of other uncorrupt leaders we've got, we could actually have some powerful influence leading the way!

Well, I've rambled right off topic... but is IS so all connected. I just wonder how bad it has to get before people start waking up?
