OK here is my two cents

I think that because we are a group representing the needs of many diverse people we should keep are demands short but powerful.

1)Get the money out of politics. How do we do that? A law needs to be passed that limits the amount of money any one corporation can donate to a politician or party. With this out of the way we can begin the transition back to the government listening to the people. A person should get into politics to help people not for money or power I believe this is the only way to stop that.

2) Make it more expensive for corporations to outsource jobs.

There are so many more things wrong but I believe that just these two things will allow us to make those changes.

2 may also have to mean impose duty on imports. Otherwise cheaper imported products will kill the companies here that cant compete with them due to higher cost of labor.

Good point, I'm not sure how that would go over.... I think we should quite using money all together.

I know that there is a lot more planning needed, I think the biggest thing we can do is limit out spending the best we can. Organize strikes and boycotts of large corporations.... I also know that is going to be fought hard the thing is any positive change we want to make will be fought so why not just the beast of at the head. I think maybe bringing the jobs home will help a lot to expose them and anger more people enough to boycott.

Excellent goals, but you need a comprehensive strategy that implements all of them at the same time, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

This is a very reasonable demand. Though it will turn the political world upside down, and for that reason it will be fought tooth and nail. Better make sure we have a LOT of support to back it up!
