from RootsAction
If you want 10 more years of war raise your hand. How about privatized Social Security, any takers? Supervillain corporations? Bought and paid for politics? A media that glosses over the real costs of war? Raise your hand if you want all that.
Hands still down? Then you’re in the right place. Welcome.
Talk long enough and you’ll find most Americans are pretty much the same. We want a fair country, not one ruled by corporations; enough jobs; opportunities for young people, and security for old ones. We want to fight only when necessary, and if it’s a mistake, we want it to stop. That’s what most of us voted for in 2008. But elections aren’t enough. Now we know that it’s gonna take action, down at the grassroots level, independent from political party leadership, to solve our biggest problems. It’s gonna take roots action.
It’s time to get to the heart of things in America. To reconnect with our roots, to who we really are. People who believe in justice and peace. People who want democracy. People who demand a truly civil society, where violence (or the threat of it) is never part of the equation. Raise your—HEY! There are a lot of us!
So this is RootsAction. If we work together, we’re strong. If we stay connected to each other, together we can make history….

Perhaps if more Roots Action supporters mobilized at the mainstream tv studios to demand an end to the U.S. Plutocracy’s Mass Media Monopoly Conglomerates’ complicity with the U.S. War Machine & Wall Street Banks or the Big Media’s rigging of the U.S. electoral process & institutionalized censorship, the current U.S. historical era of permanent, endless war abroad and endless economic recession at home might finally end in 2011? See video at following link, for example, for more info about how Big Banks like Goldman Sachs continue to wreck the U.S. economy and use the Big Media to manipulate the U.S. political process:
