Produced by Decades of Failed Leadership
CulturalEngineer
by CulturalEngineer  7-26-2009   
 Whether you believe its the Demicans or Republicrats at fault makes no difference... You're right either way! The need for secure borders and meaninful citizenship, fair credit and banking practices, or just keeping our jobs were of no interest to the leadership class which has benefitted so greatly by their corruption. All, undoubtedly with the best of intentions. It's YOUR government... Why have you given it away? Take it back! There's real power in Small Money, Large Numbers & Immediate Feedback... read post: Why Chagora and take a look at the PowerPoint Fixing Big found there as well!
