People Power [View all]

Not a fact yet, but the statements of Tom Wheeler indicate he's caving. What a huge success for people power. Millions of e-mails and protestors on the sidewalk in front of his home may just have turned the tide. When we point out that we know where you live it may add a very personal dimension to our stance.

With the power changing hands at the DOJ, maybe protesting and e-mailing could stress our points on war criminals and banksters getting prison sentences.This could also apply to the SEC.

How about the same pressure on the trade representative Froman and crashing websites.

Remember when Senator Sanders delivered hundreds of thousands of signed petitions to the White House to stop Chained CPI and it worked. Who is hiding all our signed petitions against Fast Track and TPP, isn't Bernie waiting.

These government agencies possess certain powers that don't require congressional approval, so why not get at it?
