Guerrilla Politics
I love the changing tide of politics! Youth are finally starting to get involved, to better us as a country, to move us toward equality. With the way things are going in the United States, I hope it doesn’t take another Civil War or some kind of socialist/communist revolution for the leaders to pay attention and start making changes.
Our middle class is virtually gone, wage disparity is at the highest level in history, the baby boomers are starting to retire and by 2050 Anglo-Europeans will be the ethnic/racial minority. We can’t keep having business as usual if we’re going to survive as a country, we need to change an adapt to the needs and demands of our population. Do you hear that Speaker Boehner? Do you hear the Sarah Palin and other GOP politicians?
Here are two interesting blurbs I saw on Facebook today:

We, as a generation, need to realize that passive apathy isn’t going to work any more. If we want to keep America as we know it – freedom, plenty, decent education – we need to use our political voice for change. Otherwise I’ll see you guys in the toilet paper line in the USSA in about 20 years.
