The SCOTUS decision means we can't beat them with money. We need to do it all
on the ground, face to face with people. We have the ability to do that.

1. Unfortunately, in this day and age you need both.
Sad but true IMO.

6. Media reform is about the only saving grace.....
If we can somehow protest demanding media reforms,
spending the money would get harder by big Corps.

That's where I think we should concentrate....
and also insisting in election reforms in total (although I have little hope).

3. What we need to be doing is demanding election reform and an end to corporate
personhood. They can HIRE boots to put on the ground. The same old tactics on our behalf aren't working. It's time to organize and PUSH HARD for legislation that can restore our democracy.

5. We will need a huge advantage in senate and house to do it. So it has to be done soon.
