Hi folks.
OK - I need some help with this project and I haven't had a chance to run it by the Talk to Action folks, but I thought it important to send this up ASAP.
So here goes.
I was at the April 29th and 30th NYC conference on "Examining the Real Agenda of the Religious Far Right" [ see Frederick Clarkson's writeup on that conference ] , and one of the members there - who was limited in her ability to carry out this project (due to her religious vocational affiliation) suggested this :
Theocracy Free Buying
If we want to counter theocracy, we need to cut off the cash flow to financial interests which support the theocratic push.
Remember : as Bob Edgar has said, We are the leaders we've been waiting for.
To clarify the idea of "Theocracy-Free" :
Corporations and financial interests either wholly owned or with significant financial ties ( % to be determined ) by individuals and parties who are financing the push for theocracy.
That's just and off-the-cuff definition.
So OK - Who's up for that ?
It's a big project, maybe thankless too, but possibly fundable.
Step up to the plate.
It would involve a lot of research.
Maybe there are already existing organizations which would foster such an effort, maybe even fund it.
Maybe you'd need to roll your own.
No matter.
Do you fear and loathe impending theocracy ? Do you want to live in a Handmaid's Tale ? Will you be overrun ?
What say you ?
Will you gather together and fight ?
What say you ?
