A call-to-action by MoveOn.org for the November 2, 2010 elections.
----

The customizable video speaks directly to the viewer and features actress Olivia Wilde (TRON: Legacy, The Next Three Days and "House, M.D.") and actor Romany Malco (40 Year Old Virgin and "Weeds"), as rebel fighters living in the year 2057. They are fighting an evil merger of the Republican Party and big corporations that is ruling the world. The characters warn people that they are essentially creating this future if they don't turn out and vote. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/25/moveon-ad-dystopic-republicorp-2010_n_773689.html

4. All lies as they didn't mention the merger when
Republicorp and Demicorp finally figured out they had the same corporate goals and aside from a few minor differences they were wasting their resources fighting one another. This obviously is an attempt by dissatisfied Demicorp elites to sway the 2010 election so that Republicorp has a definite disadvantage in the upcoming merger negotiations. A useless attempt at a historical re-do.



We may be able to change the outcome of this election. But the really important changes have to be inside the Democratic Party as we ARE becoming Demicorp. We must promote candidates that will fight against the corporate takeover and for an America that is actually "for the people"....for the first time in a long, long time.

7. +10
Our #1 long-term goal must be to send more real progressives to Congress! that's going to be an uphill battle in the foreseeable future.

6. We all have a chance to stop this.
And 2010 could be our only chance to stop this takeover.

8. There is no chance in this years election to change anything!
In 2012 we will have the opportunity to ditch ALL our current office holders that are up for re-election during the primaries. We MUST send liberal/progressives to the congress or lose trying. No more Blue Dogs, no more corporate shills, no more "working across the isle". Our only chance is "take no prisoners", all out warfare against conservatives, tea baggers, blue dogs, DLCers, and any ESTABLISHMENT Dems, including Obama. We can no longer afford the luxury of inattention in the primaries, because we can no longer TRUST the Democrats to stand up for the people, too many have been compromised by the corporate forces arrayed against us. Our only chance is to REMAKE the Democratic Party, (as far as political policies/philosophy) you are an actual liberal/progressive in deed as well as in word or you are out.
