Calling or writing isn't enough. They know what we think.

79. +10000 Becoming the 99 percent is our only hope.

What we face is a bipartisan corporate assault on 99 percent of us. We must come together as the 99 percent to stop it.

Corporate money and power is the problem.

Our government, both parties, was purchased by the one percent, and 99 percent of us have been disenfranchised. They are not running Republicans and Democrats for office anymore. All major party candidates are corporatists, or they do not have the money to compete.

Nobody in the 99 percent is being represented. We are all being played, Democrats *and* Republicans, and we are all fed with lies about each other to keep us fighting each other instead of the ones who are doing this to all of us. The big ugly secret on DU is that Republicans across the country are just as angry as we are.

Just as our politicians lie to us about wanting to protect public education and the social safety nets and unions and the environment, their politicians lie to them about wanting to stand for small government, limited government interference in private lives, and the defense of civil liberties.

If we could agree across party lines on just one thing....that our representation has been stolen from ALL of us by the corruption of money in the system....we could join together as the 99 percent to get the corporate money out and demand our representation back. When elections are for the people again, and corporations are not allowed to select our candidates, we can have a real fight in the public square about Democratic versus Republican philosophy. And real Democrats will win.

Right now, we don't get any choice at all. We get two candidates pushing essentially the same corporate agenda, by and for the one percent.
