I understand what you're saying. I do know there is a grassroots movement on that stuff. I had Ron Paul supporters stopping by a lot last year with literature and stuff. But unfortunately that movement hasn't been able to shed itself from those trying to own the movement (Republicans). I mean it's tough to pass off the message as grassroots when it's being blasted on the front of the GOPs website.

The movement really needs to find a way to seperate themselves quickly from the Sean Hannittys of the world trying to take it over.
