End The Fed. End The Wars. End The Drug War. End Too Big To Fail. Repeal The Patriot Act. Get Corporate Money Out Of Politics. Return Civil Liberties To The People.
I think we have a lot in common. Am I right?
yes!! these are the real problems private control over currency instead of the People and government having control over printing of money a private bank prints it, then loans it, and demands intrest for it. the dollar does not belong to the american people or government it belongs to the federal reserve bank. Its ours and we want it back
There is a lot of common ground there, assuming that it is common ground. The Fed may not be able to be ended, but it's powers could/should be curtailed. As far as getting corporate money out of politics is concerned, I would agree only if you include union, PAC and other big money sources as well.
Also, while it way be a worthy goal to end wars, not all war can be avoided and we need a military for the common defense. If you are talking about the current wars (and I'll include Libia even though Obama says it isn't a war) then, yes, it's time to find an exit strategy that doesn't leave Iraq and Afghanistan more vulnerable than before we went in.
I agree, except maybe for End the Fed. We need the fed, after all. The issue is how to go about solving these.
I'm down with all of those. I think the wars and the FED are the most controversial things that you mentioned, but the majority of the country would probably be our side.
What does everyone think of these issues? There is a ton of common ground to be found between people of all different political and ideological stripes. Of course the media and the Establishment is hoping like hell that we become divided rather than united.
There's another thing that most people agree on. The media blows.
