It is time to accept the fact that working people do not have a real voice in the political affairs of this nation. The recent Supreme Court ruling that says corporations have "free speech" rights like individuals should be the icing on the cake! The corporate monster is in control and neither major political party will resist the bribes that they offered. We need a viable third party consisting of labor, civil rights, civil liberty, environmental, gay/lesbian activists who are fed up with the stranglehold that the corporations have on our country! When 3-5% of the total population control the government, the economy, the news media, the entertainment industry, the education systems and even our places of worship... well that's not democracy! It is an oligarchy of the worst kind! ARE WE READY TO RESIST THIS? If not, WHY?
