Double speak....

I worked for the campaign. I voted for the change. I believe in the people's right to govern themselves. I am disgusted today by the announcements coming from the White House about the "relief" being "given" to the American people struggling under the tyranny of a corporatocracy.

Today - you can "refinance" in an attempt to borrow yourself out of debt, thus fattening the pockets of the very banks that already control your destiny.

Today - you can decrease your student loan payments to 10% of you discretionary income (chosen by the government) and pay for the next 20 years, even if your loan was originally 10 years, and then it will be "forgiven."

It does not change......unless we change it. Real economic reform, real relief, real change: How about this proposal. Every single American refuse to pay your student loan bill and your mortgage for two consecutive months starting on January 1st, 2011. Change comes from the bottom....not the top.

Our revolution......

Is it our turn? Inspired by the supposed less-democratized, backwards, under-developed countries of the Arab Spring, are we finally going to participate fully in our democracy?

It is our turn.....it is our time to re-write our modern history and return to what we got right so many years ago when the Declaration of Independence said:

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Even if that government is one of the people and by the people, it is our duty to alter or abolish it.
