Day 3 Day 5

    My thoughts are to start with the Media, Day 1.5 or so. Media is where hearts and minds are being distorted now.
    Also should there be a plank for re-funding public media?

      The Agenda begins with Corporate Governance because it is essentially the umbrella issue which effects everything else. We will leave it up to the Steering Committee to make that decision however, so if you really think this is important, please continue to advocate for what you believe. There COULD be a plank for publicly funded media…again, this kind of decision needs to happen in the forum, so please post that suggestion there and see if you can build some support for the idea. I personally favor the idea.

Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren’s dedication and impeccable methods in research were used extensively to create the (CFPB) Consumer Financial Protections Bureau. In fact, Ms. Warren’s work is so discouraging to corporate interests that she moved aside so that Richard Cordray could head the agency. The end result is that now Ms. Warren is running to become part of congress. The people could not ask for a better leader for liberty.
