let 2016 be the year we get real hope and change,,,

Kasich to seniors (and by default the disabled): "I'm Going To Cut your Social Security, Get Over It".

with that in mind let 2016 be the year we get every Republican thinking along these lines out of office and tell them you are fired. let 2016 be the year we get every Austerity, Trickle down, Wall Street Republican and Democrat out of office!!!

How? make sure you know your state voting regulations, get properly registered, and if you have to take a day off work, GO VOTE!!!! it's the only way things will get better. we only had 30% turnout of registered voters in the last election, and that is registered voters, that not counting the multitudes of unregistered eligible voters.

MOST OF ALL KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES AND WHERE THEY STAND ON THE ISSUES AND WHO IS FINANCING THEIR CAMPAIGN!!!!

we need to improve those numbers in 2016. GET REGISTERED, and GET OUT AND VOTE!!! Time to tell Washington you work for us and not a handful of billionaires!!!!

The political narrative in this country starts in the statehouses.
State elected representatives and state governors control the federal dialog.
The GOP started using the states to control things long ago and have been extremely successful at gerrymandering districts to ensure republican victory even when their numbers are in a minority.

Democrats need to get out and vote in ALL elections!!

Peace

is for the people to rise up against the establishment. That means not only having a president but members of congress with populist views. Pressure from the people. Obama started the ball rolling but with Bernie it will happen. With Hillary it will be the status quo
