People, we need to go to the next level. We have to start organizing the existing groups to unite. We already have the infrastructure, the contacts and all together the money.
The tea baggers have it right, although they blame the government and we blame thebig corporations. Who cares if some of them are crazy or racist? Many of them are not and are just ignorant. But we can use them as part of the coalition.
We are ALL worried about what this government/big corporation partnership will do to us next. If we focus on the 99%, it won't matter. We need to get started on this.

So what we need to do is ALL of us who are members of organizations (church, labor unions, community activist, political, etc.), all those that have been hurt by the takeover by the corporations and the rich top 1%, start spreading the word.
We need to get people at the heads of these organizations interested in uniting against the top 1%. Maybe we need a convention to decide on who to lead and what our demands will be. Maybe just the THREAT of general strike will be enough.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
Are we seeing the real Obama at work?
