If you put money and power over people, then my tent is too small for you
If you're a corporatist desiring to put business in control of the people's government, then my tent is too small for you.

If you stand against supporting "the least of these" and bringing on a tide to lift all ships, then my tent is too small for you.

If money is more important to you than the land, air, and water, then I'm afraid my tent is too small for you.

If you don't see healthcare, sustenance, education, and shelter as rights, then my tent is too small for you.

If you'd push the life of our world to the extremes and into extinction for a quick buck, then my tent is too small for you.

If you don't believe in workers right to organize and bargain, then my tent is too small for you.

If you would send our children to die in far away lands not for our defense but to secure claims for corporations, then my tent is too small for you.

If you look down on the poor, then my tent is too small for you.

If you see some folks civil rights as expendable or of no consequence, then my tent is too small for you.



What side are you on? When it really matters, what side are you on?

For people to vote with principal over power. Vote for you believe in even if the news told you they are a long shot and had no chance. Be willing to lose in order to stand on your beliefs.

My guy always loses. Dennis was my guy, I couldn't vote for Obama because of his corporate contributors and he voted to continue the patriot act.

Of course we're not talking about the general here tho, I stayed home for that.
