If you want change you must elect someone different to office. Ron Lawl is different and will change things. But the truth is most people are actually afraid of change despite what they say.
RP is anti aboortion anti regulation etc etc etc do you fly without the FAA? do you eat food without the FDA? sure you do - thats why you are dead
It’s funny how some people claim to know so much that they miss the big picture. Occupy isn't about government handouts to lower income folks. It hasn't been about what the country can do for us at all. It's about what the government should stop doing, which is being under the thumb of big business. Politicians have been controlled by campaign contributions since the beginning of politics. Lobbyist play an important role in getting a lot of things done in Washington, however, we are a democratic nation, which has pledged, "BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE". This factor in politics was proven to be a forgotten concept repeatedly throughout the George W. Bush presidency, when the president would relentlessly act with disregard to the voices of people of the United States of America. People if you have worked hard or if you have lucked your way into being rich and successful, good for you!! Now, the issue is that Big Business acts relentlessly with disregard to the interest and well-being of the citizens of the United States. This “Profit by Any Means” attitude is crippling our nation.
G. W. Bush passed a lot of bills that were in favor of BB. And not the people of the USA, this made it easier to ship more jobs overseas, breakup unionization in the workplaces and deregulate fees and charges to consumers. All of these things have led us to where we are today, and not only did the banks bankrupt themselves but they then ASKED FOR A HANDOUT. With our money they are once again making record profits on the backs of Americans while charging more fees than ever. Our government needs to once again be By the People, and For the People, not; By the People, for Wall Street! No one is penalizing capitalism… We all depend on it. However there needs to be more of a Nationalist attitude toward success. BB if you want more say in Washington, create more employment, reward deserving employees with a decent wage, then let voters in your communities lobby Washington in your favor by casting their ballots. We want our country back, plain and simple. BB GET OUT OF POLITICS!!! Politicians listen to the citizens and know, there needs to be change. Real, measurable change.
