Want our country back? THREE things:

[Triana]

1. The Media
2. Corpratism, the Plutocracy
3. The electoral/election system

Diffuse the media - break up the megaconglomerates and reduce by at least half the number of media outlets and formats they can simultaneously own.

Reduce and/or diffuse corporate control over our lives - boycott and do so vocally, learn to be self-sufficient - make your own, reduce, recycle, reuse - AVOID buying from corprats whenever possible.

FIX the goddamned election system in this country. It should standardized, verifiable, open, auditable. NO COMPANY that makes voting machines should be allowed to contribute to or support, openly or privately, any political party - period. Their accounts, their charters, their equipment, and their software and firmware must be open to public and technical scrutiny and CERTIFIED by a nationally recognised standard BEFORE it can be used in any election.

ELECT AND SUPPORT ****ONLY**** Progressive politicans who will GET THIS DONE. I believe this has to be the precursor to anything else. The religious fanatics, The American Taliban, etc will be defeated via diffusal of the media and corporations, and reform of the election system. The media and corporations have WAY TOO MUCH control over the message, and our lives. We are far, far too dependent on them. It's time to TAKE IT BACK.

The election system - is BROKEN.
