1. Will Our Government Continue Hating Us?
Will habeus corpus be restored, and the Bill of Rights and and the Constitution?

Will illegal wars end, and war crimes be prosecuted, and surveillance be stopped?

Will the race to the bottom be reversed, will the buck stop with the average citizen and not the oligarch?

This government asks us to die quietly and neatly on command, to give up all hopes for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. Of course we are going to hate it. We are going to do more--we are going to change it, one way or the other. If they won't permit free and fair elections, if the people we elect prove to be the tools of oppression and injustice, if they ignore petition and block free assembly, if the press is subverted, then we will have to find another way. We the People are not going to eat shit and die, just because the Corporations want it that way, and the Oligarchs.
