—Most likely our political system cannot be corrected from within to serve the needs of the people because big money has stranglehold on our Congress, the Executive Branch and thereby the Supreme court appointments. With the greed of big wealth and their corruption of our elected representatives the only way we can win our democracy back before it becomes a complete Fascist dictatorship without another revolution to throw them out would be to re-empower the people. Former Alaskan Senator Mike Gravel just may have the answer. Please check out his website and support him—J. Glenn Evans—26 August 2012—
