I know what you me...KCThinker-<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reply. I know what you mean about people losing the will to act - but that is what needs to happen. The agents working against the interests of the common citizen may have the unlimited wealth to get what they want accomplished, but we as citizens have the numbers. <BR/>Of my limited search on the web for a serious third (common sense) party, I have only been able to find half-hearted, if not outright ridiculous sites. This fact alone is disturbing. I would have thought a much larger grass roots movement would already be "up and running", so to speak. I am not too web savvy, so perhaps a site is out there that I just haven't chanced upon yet - have you come across anything of that sort? I do have some suggestions to offer as far as what can be done to help remedy our current political "crisis", what I lack is the forum that is needed for like-minded individuals to discuss and debate these ideas and plan a course of action. I might also suggest reading some of David Cay Johnston's work - he is a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter for the New York Times - and has 2 books in publication: <I>Free Lunch</I> and <I>Perfectly Legal</I> they both involve how our taxpayer money is used for special interest groups that increase the wealth of the already obscenely rich. Either book will make your blood boil!<BR/>If you know of any type of serious forum as I have described above, I would appreciate a URL or link or whatever. Keep up the excellent blog and "Think Action!"<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Joe<BR/>Cleveland, Oh<BR/>45 yo<BR/>Graphic Designer<BR/>joevec@stratos.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18379038.post-64715003254257198342008-03-09T02:56:00.000-06:002008-03-09T02:56:00.000-06:00Joe,There are others out there who think like us. ...Joe,<BR/><BR/>There are others out there who think like us. I talk to them at work. Many people have just lost the will to do anything about it. They feel like the system is stacked against them. Common sense does not seem to be so commmon anymore. It is very frustrating from my perspective when the politicians even lose touch and cannot see how they are steering us towards the cliff. I have heard many people say that now is a good time for a third party alternative - a common sense party. I would welcome such an alternative. How to go about it is another thing. I would welcome suggestions. If there are enough of us that eschew the left and right mentality that has so screwed up this country we could really start to make a difference.<BR/><BR/>Keep in touch,<BR/><BR/>KCThinkerKCThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867035006342152515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18379038.post-25424825817527403712008-03-07T09:40:00.000-06:002008-03-07T09:40:00.000-06:00Hello KCThinker-I came across your blog while look...Hello KCThinker-<BR/>I came across your blog while looking for a "Common Sense Political Party". From the 2 blog posts I read of yours I think I finally found a like-minded individual. I would have rather contacted you via e-mail directly but didn't see any contact info. Anywho - I was hoping to find like-minded individuals (like yourself) who were fed up with our incompetent "leaders" and somehow organize ourselves and take a course of action. What are your thoughts on this and have you come across any other individuals looking to do the same? I would be interested in your thoughts/opinions as you seem to be an intelligent, educated person. I hope you are still reviewing this page. I'll wait for your response and then maybe we can communicate directly. Thank You!<BR/>Sincerely, JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
