paid for politicians. Vote out all incumbents in 2012 and 2014. Take away their weapons. We may loose a few(very few) good politicians, but we will show our strength and alter the status quo. Regardless of party affiliation, incumbents are minions of corporations.

Ex election....If the Rep/Dem party puts forth a candidate that is an incumbent, I'll look at the ones running against them in the primary or general election. Whoever is closest to them in the polls. Elect that person. If over and over again the party "chosen one" is defeated by "the people" guess what....the house of cards comes down. Big party donors start wondering why they wasted their money.

I'm looking in my area for nonincumbent newbies to the political world. I'll contribute and volunteer for them. I'll tell my friends, family and neighbors about them. From local elections, state and fed, I'll work for anybody, any party affiliation that is not an incumbent. I dont even need to agree with all their positions on issues. As long as they are not bought/paid for/corporate stooges, I'll support them.

Infiltrate Rep/Dem party and vote out their chosen ones. I'll take anybody who is not an incumbent. If we each convince our relatives and friends to vote out incumbents, it can be done. Turn the political establishment on its head. If most incumbents are voted out, the Rep/Dem parties will crap themselves in fear.

That has been my strategy since the 2004 elections.
