20. independent party...?
Kitty,

There are many who have already come to this conclusion you
have as we already
have third parties for the people...and most people who are
involved in any of these third
parties are aware that the 2 parties are very much one in the
same when it comes down
to the major decisions made in this country...we are
witnessing it with this health care issue..
we heard obama say all we need is the WH, the house and the
senate and we will get health care done...
now that we have it they are saying we need the gop to make it
happen...wtf..?
Washington is under a strangle hold by corporate America..what
can we do as individuals cause it doesn't EVER SEEM TO MATTER
WHO WE VOTE INTO OFFICE..WE STILL GET SCREWED EACH AND EVERY
TIME....
the 2 party system is BROKEN....did I say BROKEN...

now for me we can correct this problem of corporate control
without ever leaving the house...all we need to do is identify
ANY corporation or business that has or is lobbying congress
for things not in our, the people's best interest, and then
simply let the country and the business know that we as
Americans are not going to put up with it and BOYCOTT every
business and corporation because the reality is these
business's...well where do you think they get their money that
they in turn use for lobbying against us..if we are their
customers well they are getting the money FROM US..so we are
complicit and are we so stupid that we continue to give
AT&T and VERIZON our hard earned money so they can in turn
let the govt wiretap us and read our emails...why do we
continue to give them OUR MONEY...so they can use it to
lobby...WTF is wrong with us anyway....this could be pretty
simple really...a corporation goes against our needs and so we
stop being their customer and then they run out of funds and
maybe even out of business...I dropped Verizon when I found
out what they had done...if 80% of Verizons cust dropped them
what do you think would happen..would they be able to lobby
congress...would they be able to help wiretap and read our
emails...one thing is for sure...the shareholders would be
furious and would be cautious about purchasing shares for ANY
business that might end up on the wrong side of America...we
can do this if we all get together...it will take a majority
of people to be involved..but heck..how simple can it be to
stop giving any corp OUR MONEY?
that is far easier then waiting for congress to wake up...they
are bought and paid for before they ever reach office...most
of them anyway..
