Today 13,000 people surrounded the White House, protesting the tar sands Keystone pipeline. Didn't even see that on the evening news. The "mainstream", both the media and the politicos, are completely missing what is happening in this country. Their heads are in the sand. They have also lost control of the narrative. It's being told, live, via Twitter, Facebook and Youtube. And this political force, that will control the next election, isn't beholden to either Dems or Republicans. I think the first major overhaul is to get money out of elections. Public funding, period. Limit donations to individuals for $100. Citizen's United was a disaster for this country. The Supreme Court will never reverse it, but the election laws can be changed. That will involve throwing out most of the politicians in Washington, yes, indeed. Oh - and Congressmen and Senators can give up their lifetime of healthcare and guaranteed full pensions for serving just one term.
