Do not engage in left/right based discussion. It is a distraction.

Focus on getting money out of politics and returning equal voice to the people. That means equal voice for all those that have become disenfranchised. The tea party, OWS, and Everyone who doesn't have a lobbyist. This is largely the goal required by the people of both sides of the spectrum. The only one who is standing in our collective way are the 1% who want to see us fighting each other so they can get back to doing whatever they want.

Do not take the bait on anything that will turn discussion to 49.5% vs 49.5%. It is an age old distraction tactic.

Unite for the one change that matters - equal voice for all. Once that is achieved we can use those voices to change the rest of the system to reflect our collective will.

Remember this and we will not be defeated.

2. Absolutely right!
The 1% have gained most of their ground with divide-and-conquer tactics.

Getting Americans to ALL identify as the 99% is THE key to getting anything back.
