I share your sentiments and respect your message. I truly believe that sooner rather than later, uniting with one voice will become essential to our Movement, please read and share as you see fit.

I love the passion in it, but I do not share your strong belief in complete replacement of existing infrastructure. First, I believe our institutions aren't that bad, and second, I believe change is incremental. Great sparks ignite change, but outside of armed rebellion, change occurs slowly. Even with armed rebellion, change requires generations. Please keep doing what you are doing; however, I believe the incremental change required is to decrease corporate influence in the media and politics and return to a more democratic state. After this is achieved, people as yourself can vote your interests in. I don't believe this movement represents a specific solution, but rather, a return to citizens' involvement in politics.
Good perspective. Remember the world and your Mom, is watching.
I to believe this movement does require citizens involvement. And with citizens involvement requires that everyone is registered to vote! I want to see corporate influence out of politics too.
How about this. http://www.radiokazoo.net/OPV/
Good effort. You have put a great deal of thought and effort into this and maintain a beneficent attitude in the face of personal challenge. Hope others read this.
As do i. I dont think people can really picture the world i see yet, but i know that when the protests all fall on deaf ears and nothing changes drastic measures will have to be taken and this is that drastic change to truly free us from from the chains of the system. and at least it is viral and if enough people contribute to this ultimate goal there is no telling what we will be able to accomplish with true freedom.
