@jaytaylor, Excellent! In the 45 years since Ronald Reagan began decimating the Republic we all call "The United States of America" we have been gradually stripped of our rights. After Reagan and his age of "deregulation" we went through many smaller things, like the dissolution of Glass-Steigle and Banking deregulation (Clinton) then Bush2 with the war powers fiasco and Iraq/Afghanistan wars and the beginning of the endless war currently ongoing now. In 2006 was the biggest hit to our rights ever, that was when then Senator Barrack Obama introduced a bill revoking "Habeas Corpus" which is guaranteed in the 1st and 4th amendments. Now it is blatant and the Congress that everyone seems intent on re-electing, yet again, will continue the slide toward Oligarchy followed closely by totalitarianism. People think socialism is bad, only because the Corporate Media says it is bad and the good little citizens nod their heads like cute little bobble head dolls and continue letting the wealthiest among us rule.
KICKING OUT ALL OF CONGRESS would be a good start. Mitch, out
