If I had the ability to run campaign ads, I would show scenes from the future, with Corporations

and the political right being in charge and enacting all their policies.

For example, they want to privatize Social Security. I would show elderly people working in a factory.

They want to get rid of environmental protections. I would show a polluted scene in the country.

They don't think the Federal Government should have a role helping poorer areas of the country with education. I would show a scene of 50 children in a outdated classroom.

They are against infrastructure spending. I would show a bridge that is about to collapse, or roads that need to be paved.


Just give people an idea of what things would be like if the Tea Party and their corporate funders had their way.

2. but things are ALREADY like that

seniors are greeting at walMart, fresh water is scarce, grade schools can have 35 or more students per class and bridges are collapsing.

4. I agree things are going in that direction

But it would alot worse if Republicans had their way.

7. Levees have failed, bridges have collapsed and many more are

in danger of collapse and failure: Obama spoke on this today:

Seniors are cutting pills in half.

5. I was watching some old documentaries from the 40's of some of the incredible

companies in the US back then. One was the huge Wurlitzer company in North Tonawanda, NY. Zillions of people employed, an ultra modern plant, incredible American quality products... And I was thinking just how far this country has fallen. Give it a few more years with the RW running things and this country will be seeking foreign aid.
