It's time we get informed and educated, understand there are laws to counter corporations and use them to our advantage. additionally, the legislative needs to be held accountable, as they along with the lobbyist are mainly responsbile for creating the laws. shine the spot light on the members of congress/house of senate, whom accept bribes, etc. lets write letters, call media attention to these members, etc. Ultimately legislative branch needs reform. I am more than glad to help, maybe print flyers with this info and distribute to all

WHILE STREET PROTESTS are great, we also need to do a lot of letter writing. Flood the US mail service with letters to our representatives. Write directly to President Obama and to Republican and Democratic leaders - - and demand they represent The American People, demand they protect The United States of America by protecting the health, safety and welfare of it's Citizens!
