115. What Too Many Hillary Supporters Keep Missing Here Is This...

Mon Mar 14, 2016, 09:34 AM

Mar 2016

We AREN'T asking for FREE STUFF! We're asking that we have a LEADER who is willing to try to take on the GIANTS that have their thumb on this country and make the changes this country so desperately needs!

We're FED up with the manipulation, lies and corruption that most of us has KNOWN has been going on for way too long. THEY AREN'T EVEN TRYING!

The whole system seems stacked against us by the POWER BROKERS in this country who want it ALL for themselves while we struggle to pay the bill!

I know I've been fed up for much too long, and we have a candidate who says HE NEEDS US to try to fight for these changes. Not all of them will come easily and not all of them will get done. But saying we will put a band-aid on policies that need so much attention isn't a message that we're willing to accept anymore.

THEY WORK FOR US! It's time they at least try! It took a very long time to get into this hole, climbing out is only the beginning. It's and agenda to work toward, not just tinkering with the SOS!!

I'm don't think most of us are under the illusion that FREE STUFF is going to rise like a Phoenix if Bernie is elected. The mere fact that he's had to fight against an entrenched ESTABLISHMENT of so must that's been wrong and is still standing should tell millions of people WE ARE FED UP!

YES, the REVOLUTION is BEGINNING! The next step is to HELP MAKE it go forward!

The "free stuff" meme isn't selling very well. We're NOT STUPID!
