It's easy to rant and rave and say our government is corrupt, point fingers and yell. Don't do that, because it will just roll off my back like a ducks back sheds water. You want my agreement, you want my involvement? Give me a plan. Tell me how we remove the cancer that has infected our government.

A PLAN?...Destroyer...why didn't ya just ask??...But don't expect instant results...don't expect it to be easy...and don't expect it to be effortless...BRielly's post above is like a breath of fresh air...and your acknowlegement here was the same...and that's what it will take...NUMBERS...lots of people speaking w/one voice, loud and clear that we are tired of this mess and will not accept it any longer...this thing you are reading right now has become a powerful weapon...it just hasn't been used enough YET...

Here's two things I've done...I went to my U.S. Representative's website, went to CONTACT and sent a short question about how does he feel about money in politics...I haven't heard back from him and honestly do not expect to...but I DID IT. Has anybody else done done that?...Congratulations if you have, but what we need to do is coordinate and do it in NUMBERS...so the first thing we gotta do is come together, coordinate and communicate.

Reach out to CONTACTS in your email and otherwise w/whom you've had this same conversation...I can think of 25 or so, who'll jump on w/me...and I bet several will read this who can bring 25 or so w/them...each of those 25 bring 25 of their own and eventually we got some NUMBERS...it'll take NUMBERS...and COMMITMENT...we don't have to stop our lives, but we gotta single mindedly send the message, IN NUMBERS, AT ONCE to our Congressmen and tell them the jig is up and it's gonna change w/them or w/out them.

How do we coordinate all that hop on the train w/us and communicate w/one another?...I opened a Facebook Page called Independents Against Corruption...it's brand new and will live or die w/participation or not. Some will laugh it off as silly little FB page...and that's to be expected...but I see it as the central communication point to coordinate an effort like this will require. I see several on V20 on FB from time to time and a couple of them have already visited Independents
Against Corruption and LIKED it...who knows where a grass roots ground swell will start?...

You asked what do you do?...the IAC page above is one thing you can do and I hope you will...if everybody who sees this will bring a number of others w/them, maybe we can put together enough numbers to make a difference...Hope see ya there.

Now this could be some real fun and maybe be the start of something big...no doubt it'll take numbers and time...for this election, it's already too late...but if we don't do something now, we'll be saying the same thing 4 years from now. Bring all the numbers you can muster to the IAC Facebook page and let's start now to make a real difference in who's running this country...big money...or your vote...time to MOTIVATE...
