and I know that to many this is a depressing topic because it makes them feel like they are powerless to stop it.
But the first step in changing something that is wrong is to recognize just what the problem is, and if we fail to do that we risk failing.
I suggest to all that want to feel positive about things that you continue to do so. There is no problem with a positive attitude but be forewarned that they will do whatever is necessary for them to keep power and to get involved in your local elections as much as you can.
And if it is stolen and you know it it may be time to take it to the streets. And that will be much harder to do than becoming involved in your local election.
