The only way to take our government back is to organize politically, put our
money where our mouths are, and work to elect officials who believe the way we
do. All the talk about government versus private sector, everything else,
it's meaningless if noone in Washington is listening to us. Republican and
Democrat, BOTH sides are dominated by corporate interests. On the republican
side, you have manufacturing, military, and financial companies (generally
speaking). On the Democratic side, you have high tech, media, etc. Neither
of them have the public interest in mind anymore... if they ever did.
