How to fight the power in Rockwall

My Friends,
We all know how crazy the last 7 years have been for our nation and the nations we have afflicted with Bush's despicable policies and his administration's bizarre incompetence in carrying them out. We can have control of our country again but we have to wrest it away from the leadership of the republican party. That means we must stand up for our country. Standing up means doing what is inconvenient, like giving our attention to the issues enough to penetrate the MMM (the mainstream media machine) to find out the truth. Then we have to share that truth with each other to build back the connections between us that time and busy lives have destroyed. We also have to make sacrifices of our time, our energy and our money to support the Democratic Party and it's candidates. We don't live in a true democracy any longer we live in a corporatocracy. The thieves on wall street have used and abused us horribly for the past seven years and because of that our economy is failing. These companies make enough money that they owe this country, but they will only pay if we out them from their hiding place behind our government's skirts. Those skirts are made of tax loopholes, laws written to their specifications (like the bankruptcy bill written by MBNA), lying cheating lawyers and lobbyists by the truck load and media empires owned by unscrupulous and short-sighted moguls. Bush and Cheney have made sure that the regulating agencies have been neutered by their inside cronies. He and his cohorts have played the "Great and powerful Oz" for too long, we need to jerk the curtain open and expose the fraudulence of our leaders to find our way back to Kansas. Unfortunately we can't just click our heels to make it happen. It is going to be a long fight and by now we all realize this fight is going to take many exhausting rounds. But we have a foothold now. Here in Rockwall we have a chance now that seemed impossible 6 months ago. I had a leader in this community tell me the other day that no one can get elected in this county who is not "old Rockwall". That is what all the fossils of Rockwall think. They think you all will fade like yesterday's newspaper when this presidential election finishes. Let's teach them about the changing demographics of Rockwall County. Let us demonstrate to them the depth and breath of our concerns and let's shown them our strength and endurance. Divided we fall, together we are unstoppable tsunami, the old establishment's worse nightmare.
