What the hell have they been thinking? Fascist Nixon should have had this country's citizens permanently organized and hunting down every systemic problem on the political landscape. Reagan should never have happened. Bush-Cheney should never have happened... populist Sat, 16 Dec 2006 22:40:12 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/mechanism_for_change_congress_or_convention We already know marches and protests don't work in Post 9/11 America. They didn't work in the lead-up to invasion, and they didn't work in the 2004 recount effort in Ohio. If you are about to lose your country to special interests, you are going to need a group of Americans who are willing to risk their life for their country populist Wed, 22 Nov 2006 19:19:18 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/the_crisis_of_the_american_republic_part_ii The Founders invented a system of constitutionally mandated republican government with a federal authority sharing power with the states and three separate branches in Washington - able to check and balance each other with the single most important power put in the hands of Congress so presidents would never have it - the ability to declare war. populist Tue, 06 Mar 2007 17:34:18 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/militarism_mayhem_and_the_pursuit_of_profit The difference between what U.S. citizens think their rulers are doing in the world and what these rulers actually are doing is one of the great propaganda achievements of history.

A simple, strong and proper rule. So where did it go? Because today, if we applied that rule to our own lives, our neighborhoods, our communities and our States, we would find ourselves laughed at like hyenas. populist Tue, 23 Jan 2007 04:08:44 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/congress_cant_do_it_for_america Our own dear leaders believe open debate is a fatal weakness.
