LOLOL!!! Lee Camp is hillariously funny! Thanks for the laugh RK!!

I enjoyed watching Lee interview Jill Stein in the attached link...especially her sound views on marijuana and the drug war...and her reference to the lovely Alice Walker.

Here's the short interview...

I can go with : "Fuck the debates and voting." but The 99% have got to wise up :

"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people" (John Adams - Second President, 1797-1801).

i'm thinking, this almost happened to Nader but he left after being threatened with arrest. Now this. I'll just hold my vote till people start learning about this type of exclusionary democracy. Once people figure out the pentagon is just as lobbied and corrupt as congress, then, I may vote. Obama did good at the last debate but I don't hear wages, I don't hear civil liberties protection, I don't hear corruption must stop, I hear him responding, not progressing. He spent 4 years playing the game laid out for him to play. That is not the road to change, that is more of the same.

"That is not the road to change, that is more of the same." is the sad, salient, succinct truth & bears repeating. Obomber ain't no solution ; he's part of the problem but Romoney is the 1%er wet dream & 99%er nightmare. Mass grass roots bottom up activation or ... ?
