Changing congress will not come easy. I admire your idea and vision. You have my support.

John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are all members of the Council on Foriegn Relations. All will continue Bush's legacy, war on terror, and war in Iraq. This needs to change too.

Nader. Or possibly McKinney (I believe she'll win the Green nomination). I'm voting Nader. He's got the most support and most recognition and he has officially endorsed the National Initiative that Senator Gravel introduced. I can trust Nader. Not Obama. Not McCain. Not Barr.

I have never been a fan of Backtrack Obama - so it is nice to see how former Obamaniacs are seeing a new face on this man.

With a new face in executive politics & the Democrat label he has been GIVEN a pass by most progressives & liberals.

Were he to turn out to be actually a Republican in sheep's clothing (a la Clinton) we may wake up in Nov 08 with no better future than with McWar.

I will be voting for the most progressive 3rd party candidate - any ideas?

[DebbieKat]

I disagree. What we have is not socialist government. It's corporate welfare. That's vastly different. If we had a truly socialist government, would we still be declining in education, life expectancy, health care, etc. compared to all other industrialized nations? I don't think so.

[DebbieKat]

There needs to be more transparency to where candidates' money comes from. I have a great idea. No candidate for any office should be able to SPEND any more than 100 x the annual salary at the current minimum wage. Wonder where that will take us? :-)

pt2. I really wish the Obama supporters would wake up. In the last week alone, he has backpeddled on at least 3 issues. He now says he doesn't think NAFTA is that bad. He rolled over on telecom immunity with the FISA bill. I don't even care that much about the campaign financing thing, but he isn't true to his word. He lacks integrity. He continues to fund the war in Iraq, he goes along with voting for bills that include funding for it. If he was really against this war... he would stop funding.

[DebbieKat]

Because Obama isn't planning on withdrawing all troops. He will remove combat troops but we would have military there indefinitely. He wants to increase the military budget. The US already spends more than the rest of the world combined on its military budget. How much more of our taxes should go towards this? We can't afford it. At this point, most of our tax money is only paying INTEREST on our debts. This needs to stop.

Actually, I find what Obama says is vastly different than either McCain or Clinton. How can you say "leave as soon as possible" is the same as "I can imagine staying for 100 years"

Apparently the producer of this video isn't aware of the facts about our monetary system. Printing money out of thin air destroys sovereignty, destroys economies.

Also, unaware of the plan to destroy America by dismantling industry on the claims of global warming.

I mean since mainstream media won't report on the truth and your here speaking to 'change' start by research on the plan mentioned and the federal reserve.

awesome video!!

I really hate to feel this way, but denekawa is right. The current Empire will have to fall, it's too late to "fix" anything. Unfortunately, the military-industrial-complex that Eisenhower warned us about has branched out into healthcare, entitlement programs and mass media.

At this point, it seems that our only choice is to opt-out. But, where does that leave us? More to the point, where does it leave our progeny?

I'll fight 'til I die, but if I die trying, what was the point?
