ELECTION: It's us vs. corporations

Here is what this year’s election is about: Are we going to have a government of the people, by the people and for the people or a government of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations with a few people governing the rest of us?

The Republicans since Ronald Reagan have quietly been chipping away at our democracy, transferring the power and the wealth of the United States to the corporate few. The transfer of wealth reached a crescendo during George W. Bush’s presidency. Now, the Republicans want the corporations to have all the governing power transferred to the powerful few people controlling the corporations such as the Koch brothers and Grover Norquist.

Don’t allow this to happen. Vote for Democrats in November 2012.
