Everyday, more and more people are starting to realize that we are not conspriacy theorists, that there is indeed a threat to our republic in the form of BushCo. I can only hope that we'll have enough momentum to vote them out come Nov.

because she speaks about the "stealth revolution". Personally, I have never been interested in politics. I am keenly interested in citizenry participation in government, however. We are our only hope.
