2. Wasn't that great!?! I was just blown away, I sent it to everyone

Don't forget to greenlight it, with Current we vote for what gets on air.

24. Love this line:
"the moral clarity of the dispossessed"

This so reminds me of Cindy Sheehan. We all have this in us because we are those that have been dispossessed (by our leadership). Let's tap into it, folks. We all have powerful voices, just gotta use 'em. Often and well.

41. Wow.........
that brought tears to my eyes and I'm not one easily moved to tears. That message just gave me a shitload of hope for the future and renewed my strength to fight these fascist bastards.

Thanks for posting it, it's quit remarkable. I just wish every American could see it as well, but as we all know, it would be too controversial for the "Liberal Media" to run, even at top price. This is something that is going to have to be shared at a grass roots level, from person to person. Let's get busy!
