1. Every citizen of this country should be deeply offended and deeply worried about the long term

impact of this incredibly partisan and potentially destructive decision by the SCOTUS.

2. We live

in a country that is trying to be turned around in, into something the United States of America is not meant to be. The right wing agenda is bent on turning our nation into a third world country, where children beg in the streets and wonderful people like my parents would be turned into serfs for the rich. Groveling and begging is something the American people will not put up with. Our activist supreme court justices, are still in the right wing slash and burn mode. This will be stopped, but not without the coming revolution that will occur once Americans wake up to the fact that we are in this alone. No government will come to are aid, because we are it. To sit by and let this just happen is wrong. We must act soon to stop the rich from grabbing everything.
