Election Day Open Thread: "Of, By, and For the People"by: Dean BarkerTue Nov 02, 2010 at 06:03:49 AM EDT |
(Bumped, because I voted and BOY did it feel good to vote! - promoted by Dean Barker) Granny D, shortly before she was arrested at the Capitol:
Dear friends, we would never seek to abolish now what has become our dear United States. But it is our constant intention that it should be a government of, by and for the people, not the special interests. Our right to alter our government must be used to sweep these halls clean of greedy interests so that people may use this government in service to each other's needs and to protect the condition of our earth. This we declare.In the end, that's what election after election in this country comes down to: You and I and the Rest of Us against the powerful interests of the super-wealthy. They will always have a bigger and more expensive megaphone. But whether or not that megaphone drowns us out from time to time, there will always be more of us than them. This is an Election Day Open Thread. Please leave your thoughts, observations, last-minute info, etc... in the thread. And VOTE! Adding: Until voting results come in, this is one of the least active days in political news, despite being our biggest traffic day on the site.
