30. I know! I just want everyone to realize we have to keep pushing

Our politicians aren't even talking about what really needs to be done.

The corporate media is still leading the dialogue and we really need to do something to put them in their place.

They lost all credibility. They should be ashamed for lying for Romney non stop, and it wasn't just FOX news.

They openly shill for the 1%, against our interests, on our public airwaves.
