Whack A Mole Activism

Posted on May 29, 2017 by johnrachel

The ruling class have us constantly scrambling, in a frenzy, panicked and overwhelmed, confronted by one crisis after another. The reaction by our end of the political spectrum has been short-sighted and fragmented. Disoriented and exhausted by the sheer number of crises being created, we’re never able to mount a unified, comprehensive, coherent counterattack. We work hard but our energies are scattered.

There is no other choice. Continue reading →

If you are as fed up as I am at the gridlock, the shutdowns, the broken promises, the back door deals, the endless excuses, the horrifying waste of our hard-earned tax dollars that ends up lining the pockets of the already ultra-wealthy 1%, the Wall Street bankers, and the fat cats of the military-industrial complex — who keep the wars going because that keeps the profits flowing — if you are as fed up as I am at we the people always being last on the list when it comes to fixing the problems we need to tackle for America to fulfill its constitutional mandate to promote the general welfare and offer a quality life for every American, not just the filthy rich, then at least . . . LOOK AT WHAT I’M PROPOSING. Continue reading →

How Pledges Can Work

Posted on May 1, 2012 by johnrachel

How will candidate pledges for progressive positions on key issues be effective? How will this work? Intimidation! We will either make the toadying hypocrites sign the pledges out of fear that they will lose the election, or we will run them out of office by instigating voter outrage for voting against the laws the vast majority of Americans want.

Pledges: Candidate Contracts

Posted on April 28, 2012 by johnrachel

The candidate pledge, now deployed to such grossly destructive ends, can be used to an opposite effect, that is, as a means of restoring some sanity to what comes out of the U. S. Senate and Congress. Candidate pledges can result in legislation on a host of crucial issues and pull the country out of the death spiral we currently find it in. I’m referring to familiar measures supported by large majorities that reflect the stated values and express wishes of the American people. Continue reading →
