Keep trying

[Jeffersons Ghost]

I've been reporting dismal news at Democratic Underground because there is very little else available, when it comes to news. Bad news sells viewership and papers. Society is sick in that way.

When it comes to the wars and our economy, good news is nothing more than propaganda.

Still, we must not succumb to depression and resignation. Although media is not in favor of leadership in DC that would end the wars or try saving our economy for the middle class, we must keep doing what we can to save what's left of our resources and freedom.

It's not news to any readers here that the owners of Big Businesses control most media.

While it may not matter to anyone but ourselves, we must try defending America from the top 2% of wealth-holders, just because it's the right thing to do. Gandhi said, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Keep writing letters to editors and articles online that inform the public of the truth.

Keep talking to those that are taken in by media lies generated by the ultra-rich.

Keep signing petitions.

Keep protesting the wars.

Keep donating to candidates and causes that are attempting to fix America.

And most of all, keep voting.

3. Onward we go.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

5. It's hard to keep going onward when you know you're out-financed and overpowered.

It's not a movie where the good guys win at the end. But Gandhi proved that the masses can unite without media and win against superior odds, publicity and financing. He met with the Queen of England wearing rags.

12. I have always believed in the power of individuals and small groups to create change.

I have worked successfully with just a few people locally as well as nationwide to create change. No movie. It can be done.

[texastoast]

17. I have to go home!

And I'll listen to NPR and my Pacific station to catch up on the news I can't get on TV.

And any trolls can just understand that progressives will always fund true news sources. Progressives ARE NOT GOING AWAY!

:patriot:

[Jeffersons Ghost]

20. If we quit trying America will go away or become slaves

[texastoast]

11. No matter how you parse things out, no matter how right you may be, if you DO nothing, you

(and many others) are/will be victims.

[yellerpup]

13. A heartening message

and motivating, too. Thanks. :kick: & Recommend

18. What else are you gonna do anyway? Right?

When you're living hand-to-mouth, no healthcare, underemployed or disabled without income, life's just a crapshoot anyway.

So why not keep on giving it hell?

Instead of being just hopeless, be a hopeless pain in their evil, cruel, greedy, power-obsessed, bloated sides. :)


They hate the truth more than anything...so keep repeating the truth...maybe more people will catch on... and one day the truth will become overwhelming and more powerful than all of their schemes.

19. Let's repeal the USA PATRIOT Act, someday

It's the worst assault on our constitution that's ever been perpetrated.
