Just wondering out there are there any talking points on Taking Back America or is there a need to take back this country? Then if so take it back to what period in our history?
It just appears that corporations get ever growing richer through major campaign donors, this administrations continuing tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. While schools cost more and more, gas prices, food cost rise leaving many Americans hungry and left behind.
What's your driving force for change Katrina, War in Iraq, Immigration and the Border, less Executive Power, The Patriot Act etc? What would it be for you to Take Back America?
Give a listen to this Ian Rhett song which I believe is appropriate here @ "(Didn't Know I Was) Unamerican"

"(Didn't Know I Was) Unamerican"

copyright and license info below
v.1
Didn't know I was unamerican
For choosing to give a damn
Or unpatriotic
For daring to take a stand
For what I believe in
Looks like freedom to me -
Expressions of liberty
Wanting our America to be
A responsible hegemony
v.2
Didn't know I was a communist
For wanting to share the wealth
It doesn't take an economist
To measure the cost of health
And what I believe in
Looks like heaven to me -
One human family
Where everybody's got enough to eat
And something warm to cover their feet
v.3
Didn't know I'd be labeled a terrorist
For daring to speak my mind
It's becoming more precarious
For failing to toe the line
And what I believe in
Sounds like freedom to me -
Like the Sons of Liberty
In 1773
Dumping 45 tonnes of tea
v.4
Didn't know I was in the minority
Of people who love the Earth
I hope it becomes a priority
Before it gets any worse
And what I believe In
Looks like heaven to me -
Where angels take the shape of the trees
Giving us clean air to breathe
From the rivers to the mountains and seas...
v.5
DIdn't know I hated my country
For acknowledging the Truth
This war is despicable profiteering
At the expense of our youth
And what I believe In
Looks like heaven to me -
All of humanity
Living as community
In relative harmony
I know it's just a song
But if the whole world sang along
How much longer would it be this way?
Peace
Earle
