x posted at dKosI know why I continue to write here.
Even though my words rarely make the recommended list, and the comments on my ideas, concepts and understandings that I share with all of you here on Booman Tribune are often few and far between, I know that it makes a difference.
Thank you for helping my family (minus pics…bummer…), a piece I did in February played a roll in killing off the assassination attempt on Social Security. I was also part of a cabal of language junkies that pushed the term corporate media on the blogosphere and pushed out the terrible mainstream media moniker. I have also been one of those anti-corporatists that took so much grief from the rank and file Democrats for the last 5 years only to see those beliefs slowly embraced. These 3 impacts that me, one tiny little American, made via dKos and Booman, have me hooked.
Right now I am sitting in our office avoiding doing work that has to be done for our dog training business in order to share with you something else that I think can make a difference in the national debate.
There has been growing dissatisfaction with the creep of corporate power and influence over our daily lives. I have been party to literally hundreds of corporate bashing beer and coffee discussions with all political walks of life. It is very pleasing to see this topic start to be discussed by heavy hitters online and occasionally in print.
I would like to add to that discussion with a simple, but compelling concept: our Corporate Sponsored Congress. Dovetailing nicely with Media/Econ/Poli-sci, this concept of a Corporate Sponsored Congress could go very far in addressing our crumbling system of self-governance, formerly referred to as Democracy.
Please think it over and give it a whirl. I think you will find that it will be well received in nearly all political conversations. Everyone sees it.
If we can put some heat on the Corporate Sponsored Congress and Corporate Sponsored Politicians we can begin to repair the damage that has been done to the system of government formerly known as Democracy in America.
