I watched Selma on MLK Day, I recommend it everybody as a powerful movie that put me back in a 60s frame of reference like few other films, and now it is harder for me to understand why none of those primary actors got nominations for their roles…pretty petty of the academy membership if you ask me! One thing that kicked me in the head was LBJ going before Congress and telling them that he was “going to send Congress a bill to pass” that turned out to be the “Voting Rights Act”…this after he also took credit for Kennedy’s “Civil Rights Act”…but the point is that today, neither does an ‘executive’ in office stump for legislation to match the programs they were elected for nor present his case to the American people directly…I cannot remember anything but declarations of wars and State Of The Union reports coming out of the Oval Office since the Reagan administration…don’t you think those “executive orders” are even more imperialistic when seen in the context of how they change the very nature of the republic’s democratic representative process? Another windmill to tilt at…we will get nothing that we cannot clearly define as our demands for them, like: “Public Officials, act only on our behalf and on items that are stated mandates from the majority of people who elected you…your will is not the reason you are in office, you are there to do our will and no more!” Perhaps, start by not spending money that we do not have in hand…in the treasury! Yeah, Debt free loans from the source of legal money might be a great start...
