It seems to me we need more choices, more voice, more representation than our current system of elections is giving us. I think we had better risk another four years of one corporate despot and begin the battle to change the two-party system, or at least lessen its dominance, and ease the stranglehold that big business has and is increasing on our freedoms. The more passive we are, the more they claim we get what we deserve. If we vote for the Dems just because they're a notch better than the Republicans, it tells both parties that we're pretty close to satisfied with the lot of them.

And let me tell you, we're not. Not even if we think so. The destruction that they are planning for our media, medicine, social security, education, infrastructure, environment, and world standing is not something we will be happy with. We need to alert them to our need of long-term thinking, people-before-corporations, education for all, federal controls on corporate taxation and oversight, federal voting standards, the removal of political campaigns from the airwaves, and all the other things you've thought of, too.

We're not going to send them that message by sending the same load of corporate paid wonks back to Washington without a fight. Time to change the guard. Long past time.

Look around. With the web we've no excuse for not knowing our options.
