*** The Lincoln Initiative ***
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
The biggest political problem of the working class is that there is no "party of the people". The website Open Secrets tells us "who gives and who gets" and it shows that many corporate industries invest heavily in the campaigns of both major parties. It's easy to see why our political parties back candidates who favor big business. It's easy to see how we got a Senior Prescription Drug Bill that's a bonanza for the pharmaceutical industry. It's easy to see why a bankruptcy reform bill favors financial institutions. It's easy to see why the defeat of Soviet Communism didn't lower our defense spending.
To put it bluntly, Our government is controlled by the corporate establishment. "We the people" aren't represented by either party. We're in the same predicament that our founding fathers were in. They rebelled against the tyranny of "taxation without representation". The question then is, "What can we do about it?". Obviously, the 1776 solution is unthinkable, a third party is impracticable, and voting "big business" out of power is impossible.
It's time for a new, unique strategy, The Lincoln Initiative is unique. It can't be compared to other grassroots movements past or present. This is a simple strategy based on the successful tactics of the labor unions; make your demands and give an "or else". It uses the power of our votes before the election. It forces both parties to compete for our votes on each important issue. Through the use of e-mail networking it is possible to recruit the huge number of voters needed to carry out a successful campaign before the November election. The time for change is now!
It is easy to join this movement. Two easy steps. It costs nothing and takes five minutes of your time. Do it today and take back your government.
1. Copy and paste the following e-mail in your e-mail form. The addresses are for the Republican National Campaign Headquarters and the Democratic national Campaign Headquarters. Remember to substitute your most important issue for the example given (health care) in both the title and body. The "TLI" in the subject ties all the e-mails together. It allows the recipients to know what's in the message so that they can just tally the titles without opening the messages if they want to.
