What he says makes a lot of sense to me. Maybe if enough of us said "fuck this" and took a stand we could maybe get some kind of real change in Washington.
In 2008 I voted for Obama's "Hope and Change" and believed him when he said he was going to "fix" Washington.
We all see how that ended up.
Maybe it's time for a REAL change and a President who isn't in either the Republican or Democrat party.
Check it out and see what you think. I'm voting Johnson on Nov. 6th |
I assume that you are aware that even if he were to be elected he would be basically without power as he would be facing a hostile Congress and it is only Congress that can make changes and that controls the purse strings.
Of course the people can make Congress pay attention if they become proactive instead of remaining passive. The real power in this country lies with the people if and when they decide that they really do want a change.
