We have got to put the "We" back in we are the government not "they".

Until we start building a candidate farmclub system at every level and more important learning the process. Such as being able to conduct a meeting, present ideas one feature at a time, no ranting, basic parliamentary conventions, rational decent, righteous anger voice control.

Without these skills the GOP will be in control of all three branches for the next 3 administrations.

Kiss away your voting rights, reproductive rights and eminent domain will be their major club tool. A rich person likes that land your family owns buys a town council who votes to let the rich person buy your property for a dollar. Hunger games won't be just a movie anymore.

My question how are we going to deprogram the brain washed fox viewers to go back to being "we the people" instead of " the rich people say"?

A GOP dog catcher will give strays 48/72 hrs and if not picked they are done away with.

A DEM dog catcher should say how he would fight for funds to control the population, vet care and adoptive programs.

Make them defend their statements.
