These are the steps we must take.

[wlubin]

1)Fix the voting system so it is accurate and transparent.

2)Make it illegal for corporations to engage in propaganda campaigns or engage in politics of any kind.

3)Have every man woman and child who is employed, and is not the owner of the employing establishment, belong to a union that will protect them from the wills of the employer.

This country is a country by the people, and for the people. Corporations are not citizens of this country, they are visitors. If you look into the history of corporate propaganda in this country you will realize that they are the entire problem. They are the enemy. There is a war in this country which has been going on since the mid 30's whereby corporations want to rip the democracy out of this country and destroy unions. Unions are good for ppl, bad for corporations. Democracy is good for ppl, bad for corporations.

It all began back in 1935 with the Wagner Act that basically said that during a strike, corpers could not go out into the picket lines and kill ppl to intimidate them into not striking. So therefore what the corpers did was decide to brainwash ppl into being against themselves. In other words, get them to shoot themselves in the foot through how they vote, and how they think. One of the first organizations to begin brainwashing the American public was the National Association of Manufacturers (nam.org). They were so successful at there brainwashing campaign, aka labor relations, aka public relations, that Hitler used it to brainwash Germans into letting him do what he did. Well, the history of labor in the USA, and the history of unions in the USA really is the impetus of what and the origins of what we are experiencing today. One should google these sorts of key words to learn more about it. The book that alerted me to it is "Taking the Risk Out of Democracy" by Alex Carey, and I really recommend everyone to read it.

Suffice it to say that I feel that the above three things is what is needed to be done in order to take back America from the non-American corpers who are trying to find a homeland in which to abuse ppl, and they think they have found one in America.

1. IMO, your no. 2 must also include churches.

2. The corporations are more the source than the churches are.

The churches are just part of the corpers propaganda brainwashing tactics to make everyone think they are on the side of apple pie, god fearing religion, nationality, homeland security, etc..........

3. I don't think you can include churches.

I understand why you'd want to but you need to remember that Martin Luther King was a minister and most of the civil rights protesting in the south involved the church and something called The Southern Christian Leadership Conference which was a group of ministers who organized and participated in marches etc.

4. Won't work - those in control have no desire to make things fair.

From diebold to redistricting.

5. Ok then we are done. Let's all go home hahahaha.

[Dr Fate]

6. You forgot the most important step...

...support & elect Democrats who are not afraid to simply TELL THE TRUTH about the lying & corruption of the Republican party and their media.

In other words, not Kerry or Hillary or most top Democrats/Bush enablers.

[NVMojo]

7. we also need to do something about corporations that is similar

to what happened years ago when all those acts to weaken corporate control of government, monopoly and politics.....

8. Hi WL, welcome to DU. Please keep hammering this message.

We especially need to keep educating ourselves on the history of the party and these issues. History is something we don't see enough of here and the people desparately need to *remember*. The corporations will destroy us if we don't do something.

Keep up the good work.

9. Your proposals are ALL...

..in the Green Party Platform".
http://www.gp.org/platform.html


None of them are in the Democratic Party Platform.
http://www.democrats.org/platform/


There ARE a few Democrats who stand for the reform you are proposing.

If you are genuinely interested in advancing these causes, stop sending money to the DNC/DLC, and send it directly to the Democrats who work FOR these causes. Let the DNC/DLC know where you are sending your money and why!


BTW: I agree with you.

10. what about reconsidering

What about reconsidering the personhood of corporations and the designation of money as a form of speech?
