There are no miracles…

Congress has essentially been reduced to two warring houses of ill-repute. Members will bend over or take a knee for anyone willing to pony up enough money to keep the charade alive.

There is only us.

If a few of us band together to protest, make calls, or write letters, we’ll be wasting our time.

If a million of us band together to protest, make calls, or write letters, we’ll be wasting our time.

All the fringe organizations screaming for your dollar or for your signature are simply put; businesses, and they’re wasting our time.

They take your money, hang banners, lobby, and do the things businesses do when paid to act, but they are still businesses. They’ll be bust, if our government was doing the right thing on behalf of the many and not the few. If there’s nothing to protest, you, the customer will stop buying and the organization/business will be no more.

There is only one hope. Siege.

If 10M of us boycott WalMart, Wells Fargo, and the Walt Disney Company, the press will take note. But if 25 to 50M of us join the boycott, these mega-corporations will start to suffer as their stock price begins to plummet. The more of us that join the boycott, the greater the acceleration of a stock’s decline.

When critical mass is reached, these three entities as well as others in similar industries will be in touch with their congressional mistresses so fast telling them to give us what we need, our heads will swim. Nothing, and I mean NO THING else will work. We’ve got to hit them in the treasury and do to them what they’ve been doing to us.

Keep bitching if it makes you feel good. But for goodness sake, stop buying.
