next step is... my mail box is full of requests by Democrats for donations, but I give nothing. I received a phone call recently for Democratic donations, I told them to go ask a lobbyist or corporation for money, I was giving no more. I have friends that donated a lot of money to help Obama, they are disappointed. And, they don't listen to the people that voted them in.
I wish there were a strong third party, a progressive party. The problem is today, it takes millions of dollars to get things moving in this country. The entire election process is now a corporate venture involving millions and millions of dollars and the media rakes it in. And we have the media in this country controlled by a handful of giant media conglomerates, spewing out propaganda 7x24 of their choice. Now they are trying to strangle and control the Internet. Like you, I am disgusted with the whole place and so disappointed in our current administration and congress.
My concern is after the 2010 and 2012 elections it will get even worse, far worse. We well might return to something equivalent to the Bush years and what a god awful experience that was. I think we are moving quickly into being a fascist country if not there already. And sadly today many Americans are becoming a bunch of mindless robots reacting to whatever button is pushed.
