The Corporate Takeover of America! Do you accept?

This may be it my friends. We must rise in unified opposition to the corporate takeover, or just accept fascism.

Thom Hartmann has been running an exceptional personal campaign to educate Americans about what is happening through his many books and talk shows. It seems to me that I have learned more American history from him than I did back in school – Hartmann is a deep well of historic facts. But sometimes it is necessary to point out the obvious because American citizens are not paying attention to the big picture, only their personal and local stuff. In this blog comment, Hartmann explains:

Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito may not want to have heard about it at the State Of The Union address, but a new  bipartisan poll, by Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg and Republican strategist Mark McKinnons, shows that most Americans agree with President Obama’s take on the Citizens United ruling that allows corporations to carpet bomb politicians with money. More than 60 percent of those polled say it’s a bad idea. Opposition was found in both parties, and independents. Average Americans know what the Republican Five on the Supreme Court are ignoring – when corporations finally, completely take over America, it won’t be America anymore.  A corporate-run state, where the money powers own the government and the politicians – what the Republican Five on the Supreme Court have put us on the road to – has historically been known as feudalism or fascism.  Think the East India Company in 1776 England, or Mussolini replacing the members of parliament with corporate representatives in the early 1930s.  If we don’t do something fast – probably amending the constitution to deny corporations personhood – this country, and the world, could become very authoritarian and very ugly very quickly.  Your citizen activism is needed now more than ever.

Besides Hartmann's progressive view, the founders of the Restore The Republic activist website are angry about the Republican takeover of the Tea Party movement which RTR fully supported previously. RTR's Gary Franchi has this to say in his latest Reality Report.

If this does not show a trend to unified outrage in America, I don't know what more is needed. But please everyone, before it is too late to change laws in our favor, vote for and support the National Initiative for Democracy. We really have the power to stop all this corruption of our system if we don't delay too long. Do it now!
