Look where we are. Militarize killer police on the loose, TPP waiting in the wings for
approval, wars wars and more wars breaking out all over the globe to feed the MIC,
SCOTUS already in Wall St.'s pocket, etc. you know the dreary list.

So if it's now or never, why the fuck not? If 70% of We the People each gave at least
$100 each, we could probably whip Wall St.'s ass. That's 50 million $100 Dem. donors,
for a grand total of $5 Trillion.

BAM! We are the 99%. We could actually do this.

I'll never forget that line the night he delivered it to a teabagger at a town hall meeting.
