How is any of that going to help turn the economy around? Or doesnt that matter?

They are points that Congress refused to listen to the majority of the people. And no I do not agree with all of them, but again, the majority of people wanted them, Congress rode roughshod and refused any of them.
1994 the GOP won Congress because they had written "Contract with America".... it proposed term limits and many of these items. IT WAS HOW THEY GOT ELECTED.
After the election, they didn't uphold 1 of those items, instead they basically spent 6 years trying to destroy Clinton. How many of those GOPer's who signed onto term limits are still in office or ran until they got tired, had enough lobbyist money and now live on our tax dollars?
How many times have we heard that there would be laws against lobbyists, yet where are they and where is the enforcement?
How many times in recent years has one party promised something only when elected into power done the complete opposite?
The real kicker, how many of our Congress truly read every page of the stimulus plan and the bailouts and questioned them freely for debate on the floor before passing them???????????????
They have lost touch with what the majority wants. That is what I get from the video.
See the extremists (especially the left), the ultra rich controlled media and the politicians want to blow this all off as BS and partisanship and propaganda and blah, blah blah. They want people to believe that those standing up are the true insane ones, that those who attend these "tea parties" and speak out are just sheep being led around.
Well John Lennon said it best:

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

It's time for the people to stand up and use another Lennonism as a cry for true change:
POWER TO THE PEOPLE..... POWER TO THE PEOPLE..... POWER TO THE PEOPLE....... POWER TO THE PEOPLE RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
