I do not think I can top the righteous rant of last night
from one of the diaries but we had better start trying
to influence legislators,from the local to the federal decision makers.  We are in a Ball of Confusion.  We have
been  close to here before but never had a catfood commission
and it seems we have two Vietnams and a great Depression going at the same time so we need to think about this.
Tea party folks are ranting and raving and the left is being thrown to the tea party

and the band plays on.  I usually like to put a little
video to add the passion I feel in one of my concern diaries.  We are out there !  Almost everyone on here
voted, campaigned and worked hard for this administration and the democratic party but we have been led down a yellow brick road.  What we have found at the end of that road is The Wizard and what was really behind the curtain.
We have entered into uncharterd waters and the next stop s the Twilight Zone.  As I sit here in my house wondering when the funds are going to stop or be reduced on social security or even VA funding...with a mortgage underwater, a 41 year old son out of work for the most part over a year, 4 adopted grandkids,now my kids, watching education go down the hole, thinking about my soon to be 18 year old and his future as well with all these wars.....I am perplexed and people can get mad at me but I don't even know which bill to pay first and wonder how long some of us
Boomers are even going to be able to do that.  I can't work when there is no work and take care of a disabled husband and a Dad who has Alzheimers, not to mention if they raise the age of social security, that is history as well.  I paid that money in.  I may as well have paid the lottery with it but of course there was no lottery back in my 30 years of workforce.  No 401K's either.  I am sure you guys have your horror stories too and I didn't even get into the no medical insurance for some.

I think we have slid down the rabbit hole and I want to know what people are planning on doing.  Seriously.  What will you do if this catfood commission or tea party and republicans stop the government.  Some of you on here are young enough to start over with some sanity and leadership in the future but some of us are stuck.
We need answers and we need think tanks to pull us through this.  We need jobs.  We need leadership.  We need decisions but what we don't need is waffling on right and wrong.  It is wrong for the richest nation to have veterans or anyone sleeping on the street and eating from garbage cans.  I read navaho's diary last night and even the reservations are in such poor conditions.
Wake up.....Quit sleeping....We are in a ball of confusion and it appears the rest of the world is as well.

Look at this video someone put together and they get it.
America has sunk to a new low.  When we let war crimes go unpunished, and militarize the police dept. while trying to shove our form of government on the rest of the world, their world sinks as well.  Propoganda being eaten for breakfast, lunch and supper.
What happened at the G-20 Summit?  Were there riots and if so why did we not hear about them?  
So tell me what are you ideas for We the People to hang on and try to preserve what so many fought and died for.  How do we do it?
