Why You need to become an activist?

I would like to change the direction of this blog.  I would like it to be a format for discussion on:
politics, the vanishing middle class,why we have a class system in this country,  why the middle class is under attack, why people continue to fight against one another in the political arena, and why are we as people prone to believe lies instead of truth? 

So I asked the question:  Why YOU need to become an ACTIVIST?

What I could say...




 Because if you don't, you leave your life in the in hands of others who, more than likely do not have your interest at heart.


If you remain apathetic and complacent whatever happens in the political process in the local and national community you cannot complain about after the fact.


It is important to be involved and not depend on the behavior of others to look out for your well being.


You are important to the political process because it is the other event that affects your life besides death and taxes.


If you wait ... laws will be initiated that will affect not only you, your children and their children's  for generations.  


Remember States like WI, OH, FL, etc....


Your elected officials have no interest in your welfare.  They are not in touch with regular people.  They make laws to support corporations.


Our democracy is suppose to be:  
"By the people and for the people".  But instead it is government "By the State and National Congress  for the Corporations". 


You are being held hostage and do not know it.  
You are being lied to and you refuse to believe it.  
You are like an abused person... in a state of denial ... knowing things will never change... but hoping if you ignore the situation, it will go away... 


It won't....
