While bumping around I found a rock & roll video that fired me up (i hear jazz influence - not kidding) - a little Get Out the Vote lullaby...♫♪♫
It's filled with some scenes of people and America.
People are working harder producing more yet have less time for themselves and are being systematically ripped-off and ground down with a MSM looking in too many wrong places for the real stories if answers are what is sought - that is
(Warning - there are some graphic violent scenes included)

Well, it's just another song
Talkin' about how you let them take your rights
Another redundant verse about how you refused to fight and lost
What cost? Your cause has got no champion
How could you hope to win by just complaining?
Now it's raining on you parade
Decisions made could cost you dearly
Not just your money but your freedom
Are you wealthy? Improper choices could be deadly
They took your so called rights, you didn't even fight
Well, here's your motherfuckin' wake up call
And there just ain't no way around it
Caught you asleep once again and we ain't havin' it
Got free-dumb for you to do just what they tell you
You missed that train of thought
You refuse to be taught a lesson
Now this is what I'm guessing
You'll be held accountable
The things you didn't want to know
You're stressin', now with your mind they keep messin'
They took your so called rights, you didn't even fight
While you were busy fuckin' sleepin'
You know, your government was creepin'
Somebody left the door unlocked while you were asleep
Your life was bought and sold, yes, to the highest bidder
Left you in sitcom hell, so convinced you're doing well
You sit back, synapses are attacked
American gladiators are the only thing they're givin' back
You're dying and in your mind, while they keep lying
They took your so called rights, you didn't even fight
Now that we've given you this message
You've got a mess but you can salvage
Continue to grow and soon you'll know
That little things in life can make a difference
You don't got to be some politician
Take back those given rights
Stand up and join the fight

So nothing new here. I just ran into this song while preparing a comment on elections, polls and stuff and was really moved by the mosaic of pictures/scenes captured in the video.

- P.S. I don't know anything about this band or their politics or party affiliation. Just heard them for the first time last night, so it's the GOTV theme (that's how it hit me anyway) mixed with the visuals of what has been happening added to the latest thoroughly researched report from EPI covered by MB @ Night Owls & Laura Clawson llnked above that complete the idea - for me that is
P.P.S. - time to turn in, be back tomorrow
