A democracy movement is so desperately needed in America.
Political theater comes from all of our elected officials - there are no political differences between the Republicans and Democrats - the U.S. political system has been overtaken by corporate interests.
All politicians drink from the same campaign finance trough and serve their "paymasters" instead of the American people.
Amending the U.S. Constitution to define persons as "natural" persons would eliminate corporate personhood. Interested in knowing more? Visit the website Move To Amend:

This constant criticism of government that Republicans, Libertarians and those who are anti-liberals or anti-Obama and anti-progressive is symptomatic of a "paradigmatic flaw and selfishness" that thrives on "heads you lose and tails I win" argument. You cannot beat these guys' organizational acumen, unity, shrewdness, cunning arguments, persuasiveness, charm and thuggishness. They have imported the worse of third world, and the Third world is importing the worse of American red neckism. I guess this is what is called "globalization"?
Who said majority is smart, right, sensible, sensitive or ethical. Some in the Congress were voted by boys with money and influence, some got voted in and then converted, some got voted in and then got coopted, and then some got voted in for all the right reasons...but have become trapped by the institutions...not the people elsewhere, but the institutions and the people who dominate it, control it, direct it, manage it and influence it...all gaining from it of course!
