45.  Common Sense 2.0: How to Save America – First Steps
http://ampedstatus.org/common-sense-2-0-how-to-save-america-%E2%80%93-first-steps/

As our descent accelerates, we need to urgently focus on reaching common ground on the root causes of our crisis. Anyone who has spent significant time researching how our system of power functions will come to three core common sense conclusions. These systemic issues must be solved before we can move forward in addressing the many problems that we are now confronted with. If we are going to get ourselves out of this crisis, we need to launch an all-out attack on these three fronts:

1) End the system of political bribery: campaign finance, lobbying and the revolving door.DETAILS AT LINK


2) Break up the banks and hold them accountable: The Federal Reserve banking system and their primary dealers (i.e. Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo). DETAILS AT LINK



3) Open up the mainstream media and protect Internet freedom. DETAILS AT LINK



There are many other problems that obviously need to be addressed, but these three core systemic issues must be addressed first. No matter what issue is of most concern to you – the economy, tax system, wars, environment, healthcare, national debt, etc. – these three core systemic problems have to be solved first. Otherwise, any success will be short-lived, as those with the most money will overwhelm the political process and economic system, and launch an all-pervasive propaganda campaign via the mainstream media to derail any advance achieved.
