People throughout the country are becoming aware and are crying out for a new kind of government and a new society that is responsible to we, the people, not the corporations.

Quotes from presidential debate parties and others:
“I don’t know what either one of them will do for medical care, which affects many of us, especially single parents.”
“My concern is that the poor will get worse because of lowering the taxes on the wealthy. Another concern is inclusion for all—Black, white, gay, straight, all cultures, religions, and ethnicities. No war. No war. ”
“My main concern is wealth inequality—it is getting worse.”
“The question is, what will be your gift that ultimately defines your life span on this planet? Think big because money can be lost, but a loving impact never goes away—it just multiplies. How far will your gift reach? To my mind, these are the only wealth questions worth putting our limited time into,” says Cherri Foytlin, a South Louisiana mom and water protector
