" It’s hard to get 91 percent of Americans to agree on anything, but one thing we do agree on is that genetically modified foods should be labeled as such. "

Agreeing on something, if true, isn't significant. Agreeing to act upon something, is.

really - it is amazing - if you look at almost any kvetch here -
GMO is one of hundreds -
they all are rooted in EXACTLY ONE place


CAPITALISM OWNS DEMOCRACY


GMO, taxes, privatization, banks, jobs, wars, etc etc etc
they all are rooted in EXACTLY ONE place

To address GMO specifically, imaginge what would happen to this issue if monsanto could not con tribute ( BUY ) our political system.

We must sever capitalism from democracy. HJR29 may be our best choice.

DISCONNECT CAPITALISM FROM DEMOCRACY
Do what 80% of Americans + 100 congressmen + 1309 mayors want

Virtually everything we want hinges on disarming our opponent –
……………………………………………………..GREED
by stopping the flood of bribes into our government.
by stopping the control – by their capitalism – of our democracy

Are you ready
......................TO JOIN 80% OF YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS ?


We must not
DEMAND that we WANT THEM.to give to US
We must
DEMAND GOALS THAT WE WILL ACHIEVE FOR OURSELVES


Because of the Supreme Court's decision,
we cannot accomplish anything significant, without FIRST -

Overturning Citizens United !!!
Ending Corporate Personhood !!!


80% of Americans already agree on it
as stated in the ABC/Washington Post poll

And in the the PFAW Poll -

85% of voters say that corporations have too much influence over the political system today.
77% think Congress should support an amendment to limit the amount corporations can spend on elections.
74% say that they would be more likely to vote for a candidate for Congress who pledged to support a
Constitutional Amendment limiting corporate spending in elections.

Our primary goal should be to elect representatives who support a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court decision Citizens United (2010) , that enables unlimited amounts of anonymous money to flood into our political system.
We don’t have to explain or persuade people to accept our position – we only have to persuade them to ACT based on their own position. Pursuing this goal will prove to the world that we, at OWS, are a serious realistic movement, with serious realistic goals. Achieving this goal will make virtually every other goal – jobs, taxes, infrastructure, Medicare – much easier to achieve –
by disarming our greatest enemy – GREED.


IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO ACT ----> JOIN US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE


I feel that using the tactics of the NRA, the AARP, the TP, the anti-SOPA – who all represent a minority – who have successfully used their voting power and political pressure to achieve their minority goals - is a straight path for us to success that cannot fail to enable us to create and complete one task that the MAJORITY want.

Another site, someone mentioned that 91% of Americans agree that Congress is full of BS.

[-] 1 points by LeoYo (5909) 10 years ago

91% of Americans don't elect all of the congressman, so their opinions don't matter. 91% of Americans are only responsible for the election of a single congressman from their district. That's the only place where their opinion matters and so long as that congressman has the 51% approval of that district, Congress as a whole has roughly at least a 51% approval.

[-] 1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

It is true that the current congress has less then 10% approval rating with the public ( The People ). Basically they are a congress in revolt/treason. Those identifiable corp(se)oRATists anyway.

The gun grabbers tried to sell the public on the lie that 90% of Americans support Universal Background Checks.

[-] 0 points by Builder (4202) 10 years ago

I'm not at all against background checks, nor cooling off periods before purchase.

I am against corporations blatantly lying to their consumer base, and infiltrating the regulatory bodies that are supposed to be protecting the people.
