Worst week ever?

I’d like to say the worst is behind us now, but I’m afraid that’s not the case. Yet, in the long run, I am optimistic that America and the world will come out of this crisis better for it.

We will turn away from the institutionalized greed that has overtaken virtually every aspect of economic life, and reevaluate the underpinning of an economy and monetary system based on perpetually escalating interest and debt.

We will recognize the need for global cooperation on trade, but with transparent international institutions that aren’t run behind closed doors by only a few wealthy, powerful interests, but through truly democratic representation and sound market principles with accountability at all times to the people.

We will restore the Constitution of the United States to ensure that the full rights and liberties of every American are protected, reassert the rightful balance between the three branches of federal power, and ensure that the rule of law applies equally to all without exceptions to privilege, wealth, and power.

We will face the challenges of threats without borders such as global climate change and war and terrorism based on a ideological and religious extremists, and reforge the bonds of unity, justice, and liberty that define us all as Americans, and together we will set a true example through our actions for the rest of the world by having the courage of our convictions to stand up for these values both here at home and around the world.

This is the brighter future we can all share if we choose, and now is the time to make it happen.

We have to act now and stand up for the principles this nation was founded on while the world seems to be turning upside down, or else events that we the people are truly in control of now will seem to spin hoplessly beyond our control. We are not powerless. The market is not some arbitrary force that rules over America, we the people chart the course of this nation!

 On November 4th of this year, we have what may prove to be one of the most important opportunities ever for us to determine the destiny of America.

Last week, I was out on the campaign trail trying to do my part to make that future happen, and we posted a number of raw videos on Google of those events.
