    Are so many Americans now ready to accept living on the street because of what the elite have done to our economy for their own benefit?

    Are they willing to have their tents cut up, food stomped on, and few remaining possession taken away just because they became a worthless homeless person in the eyes of government?

    If the viewers out there think we can win this alone, they are dead wrong. They mind as well accept the fact that things will only get worse for most.

    I will survive. So will many others of my friends. That is why we are still online, because we are survivors.

    You people out there have a big choice to make. Stand up, get involved, and help fight in this war…..or lay down and wait to be stomped on some more until you finally die.

    I am reading some of your posts in places furry. Don’t you even think of giving up! We won many battles already! You know we feel that too! STOP and listen to your own words please.

    I’ll be there.

    Average household debt in the United States has now reached a level of 136% of average household income and the reason this is happening is because less jobs are being created. We need to start creating jobs.

    I still thank you for Chris Martenson (if I spelled it right).

    I think using facebook and twitter is a great idea, don’t worry what your friends will think because most will see it your way when they read the cutouts you past for them.

    Great News Everybody!!!

    One of “Michael’s Plan” volunteers, Gerry DePeitro has just been invited to be interviewed on the Ed Show on Monday Night at 10:00 PM (EST). If you saw the video from Ed’s show Wednesday night, Gerry is the lady that sold her ring that her deceased husband gave her for $20 just to get through another day.

    Way to go Gerry, and way to go Ed!!! – we can’t thank Ed enough for his support of this story and giving it the much needed air time that it so rightly deserves! Let’s do all we can to get Ed’s ratings through the roof!!!

    I pray this comes through for everyone who still needs it. I’m no longer unemployed, but I am still calling and faxing on the behalf of those who are. I still remember what it feels like to need and be ignored.

    I wish that more would vote as well JoHamm – maybe we can convince Donny Shaw to let people give their ability to vote on this up for proxy so I can vote more that once???

    It seems Mr. Clark, getting support from any side is a major problem.

    Get ’em to drop account requirement in order to show support?
