given the lack of time we all have to spend on this Political Stuff given the AUSTERITY and us wanting to spend time with our FAMILY.

But...Bookmark it ...or Save it for some future read. We DU'ers who've been here "trying to do Activism" for years.......would want to read it. So....we can move on from this kind of "Think Tank" Donation SYSTEM...where we are just gullible, compliant people.

This is a "Wake Up Call" showing "We Can Do Better." We need to do it on OUR OWN...and be CLEVER and RESOURCEFUL...and get rid of these people who Drain Our Energy with FALSE HOPES of Resolution..........

Sorry to shout with some "Full Caps" but...Damn It...we need a NEW MODEL for PROGRESSIVISM for the PEOPLE.
