If you haven't been watching television or listening to the news, here's a just a taste:
- Bullsh*t is masquerading as common sense these days. It doesn't matter which party's dishing it out, it's still B/S!
- "Too big to fail" bailouts to the tune of $700,000,000,000 (that's 700 Billion dollars)—and the current governor of New Jersey is proposing that a family of 3 earning $6,000/yr will be "too rich" to qualify for Medicaid!
- A candidate for the Republican nomination has suggested Democrats want to "reward failure and punish the wealthy"
- The House Majority Leader recommended that the people of Joplin MO be given assistance to rebuild only if cuts are made elsewhere in the Federal budget. Now they're politicizing disaster relief?!
- Someone aspiring to be "the leader of the free world" (or even a decent citizen) should not be ignorant of history
- We're embroiled in "uterine politics" & an apparent war on women's rights. How can 51% of us be under attack?!
- Jobs, jobs, and (oh yeah) 14-20 million of us need JOBS!
And then there's
property tax hikes; a record number of foreclosures; cities & states going broke; $5 gas and $3 lettuce; skyrocketing college tuition; record oil profits; astronomical Wall Street bonuses; no investment in infrastructure, technology, education; attacks on Medicare and Social Security—just as a record number of Baby Boomers reach retirement age; lack of equal rights for all Americans; reality tv stars making $500,000/mo. while teachers are lucky to get $30,000/yr.; Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, California, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, Georgia...or your state; and don't get us started on clean air, clean water, fracking, big pharma, and GMO's!
While we're at it, let's add
bigotry, hatred, racism, hypocrisy, contempt, fear-mongering, corruption, entitlement, lying and "kinetic military action"—aka WAR.
If you've finally had enough...
Say
We've had enough and we're tired of being invisible!
We're liberals, progressives, moderates, and some conservatives.
Most news organizations won't admit it, but we are the majority—and we've been "silent" WAY too long.
We don't march or shout or carry signs; we're over wristbands and a beauty pageant sash won't cut it.
We want a way to make our stand—and yours—visible and unmistakable.
So we wear buttons.
Actual button size--1.25" in diameter
Buy an extra button for your "favorite" politician and we'll send it to him/her with a note that reads
"Another one of your constituents has had enough!"
When enough of us are willing to make our feelings known, it's going to absolutely shock
politicians/newscasters/TV producers/corporate heads/bankers/oil companies/pharmaceutical companies
and general jerks—anyone who thinks we're not here and we don't care.
Maybe then they'll realize who we really are:
WE are "We The People."
