62. All we have to do is organize.

There are way more of us than there are of them. The Unions have begun to form a coalition with Progressive Organizations and SS advocacy groups eg. They have stated they no longer trust politicians to fight for the people and will be working together to start fighting back against these corporate thugs who have taken over the political parties.
