The strength of America is it's people

The strength of America is it's people. People of all cultures, races, beliefs, and sexual preferences. We all can find common ground.... I believe that is our desire to live in a free society.

Now we are faced with what many see as an attempt by forces outside of the human realm. The claim of a business entity that they have equal rights to the same benefits bestowed on the people by those who founded this nation.

Our common ground is that a majority of the citizens agree that corporate influence has been the start of the collapse of basic freedom in this country. Once we remove the cancer that has been eating away at democracy we can begin to heal.

We can only do this by using the power granted us in the formation of this nation, and by joining forces against this corruption. We have to first get all the people to see that without us being united as one we stand little chance of taking back our country and protecting it for the generations that follow.

Is this going to be easy? NO! Corporations have a big stake in this and they are very good at using intimidation and fear to get their way. The fear they use is that unless the people comply with their demands they will leave and the people will suffer. However this is a knife with a two-sided blade and it can cut both ways. The truth is that they employ few people in the US, even at their peak times. The majority of our workforce are employed by small businesses.

According to a poll, conducted by Hart Research Associates, there is broad bipartisan support for the notion of amending the U.S. Constitution to affirm that corporations don’t have the same rights as people ....... effectively overturning Citizens United.

Eighty-seven percent of Democrats, 82 percent of Independents, and 68 percent of Republicans said they would support such an amendment. Even with these high numbers, 22 % say they were not aware of the ruling or how it affected the elections. In this age of easy access to information, this is a dismal display of a lack of informed American voters.
