Ralph Nader is still out there looking for real change and doesn’t feel Obama is going to fight for the people.
He gives compelling arguments in 3 -8-10 video clips produced by the The Real News Network which is only publicly funded.
The election is over and we must begin turning our country around now,
or the opportunity may not come again. By quickly organizing ourselves
in each of the 435 congressional districts, over the next 100 days, we
can make single-payer healthcare, a living wage, and a less
militaristic society our long-term reality. We must do this because the
founders of these United States gave us the power to do it. Please
watch the video and sign up today. —NOVEMBER5.org
So with so much Motivation in the air for real change I really hope that people have the sticktuitiveness (always wanted to use that word) to hang on and follow politics. If people don’t stay involved, there can be no change.
I say check out Ralph Nader’s new site and sign-up.
It may not hold all the answers, but it is another finger on the pulse of Washington.

The real news Network has put together a great series of interviews with the Famous Author of ” The History of the United States” Howard Zinn. They all have such a stark contrast in tone compared to what we see in interviews on the MSM (either Media Spin Machine or Main Stream Media)
Check them all out here
Happy Viewing

On Lady Liberty’s tablet is inscribed “July 4, 1776 in Roman numerals, Day of America’s Independence from Britain: July 4, 1776”, and inscribed upon the base for the statue is an excerpt from Emma Lazarus poem “The New Colossu
s” which reads as follows [excerpt]:
The following partial excerpt from the poem that was written to help raise funds for the Statue of Liberty pedestal:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-lost to me
Emma Lazarus, “The New Colossus,” 1883
Great read to know more about what this great National Symbol represents.
