PETITION: Call out Eric Cantor for watering down the STOCK Act

Majority Leader Eric Cantor and House Republicans caved to pressure from right-wing special interest groups, going behind closed doors to water down the STOCK Act, a bill banning insider trading for Members of Congress.

At the last minute, Cantor and Republicans carved it. This is unacceptable to the American people.

 IS IT TIME TO SIEZE THE DAY?

 We are beginning to deal with the idea that we may not be able to control the Monolith. So, we con ourselves with the notion that we can influence it by the political process, which is, right now, quaking of its own ineptitude and beaten body -- fighting off the ropes: and what we have is a caricature of the brilliant Ali, attempting to cover up a broken jaw, a liver punch that has the acid-speak of sudden puke biting into the larynx.
But we are learning and feinting, bobbing around with trial balloons sent in texts, Android notes and melodies of our awakening despair. The OW people want to change the system, just as we did in 1968, when the streets would fill in Paris, London, New York and Prague ( who actually pulled it off, years later). We can not get off this now, the velour revolution has begun ...

We are finding out that we can not change the government. Or the corporation, as it is now constituted. Wow, we are working so hard to make things happen, confront, test and show our stand, that we may not be seeing what is the value of such effort, angst and resolve. What is next, then?
Comparing the Sixties to this is worth the trip, I feel. Maybe, we can start by realizing, OK, they are there, we are here. But when they -- and the people -- realize that we can change how we respond to these dinosaurs, then the game has changed -- we have David's sling and are ready to knock out the other eye. The Japanese realized this, as they minimize to the optimal degree of lean ...
The power that we have is, the knowledge that we can change how we behave, react to this struggle. The Recalls have begun. Boycotts, demonstrations, do work.
Is Spring in the air?
