Resist! Now Is The People's Time To Take Our Government And Country Back [Picture]

The reality that corporatism cannot deal with the urgent problems faced in the US and around the world is becoming more obvious.  People power is growing as more see that the current system is unable to operate in a functional way.  People power is having an impact, forcing the country to listen. How do we create the transformation we need?

The UN climate talks, COP21, are now recognized widely as a failure, at best a framework to be filled at a later date. Why were countries unable to confront climate change? The dominant economic and political power in the world is the United States. We are ruled by corporate power which is corrupted by Big Energy and as a result the US ensured a bad agreement. Even the best climate plan put out by a presidential candidate from the two parties, Bernie Sanders, is far from adequate, indeed Sanders’ climate goals are the same as what Hillary Clinton put forward in 2007.

On another issue of global concern, war and peace, more people including top government officials, are admitting that the ship of US Empire is sinking. During the presidential debates, rather than recognizing that the United States is committing war crimes and acknowledging that torture is a crime, candidates are being asked if they are willing to commit war crimes. Would they kill civilians, women and children? Would they torture? And, at least in one party, most candidates are admitting they would do so.           source
