Ask not what your country can do for you…
Today marks the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address. Well worth a watch and/or listen when you have a few minutes.

Lovely. Still applicable. Still ignored.
It’s sad some BS cartoon about Martin’s gets comments but this gets nothing.
Well, I will offer this as food for thought, though I do not agree with all the libertarianism.

Those were the days. Actually I was 3 years old and Kennedy was a myth by the time I was old enough to understand, but I grew up hearing those words. It was a time of great optimism. I like to keep that with me as I grow old(er).
On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions.
We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United, and move to amend our Constitution to:
* Firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
* Guarantee the right to vote and to participate, and to have our vote and participation count.
* Protect local communities, their economies, and democracies against illegitimate “preemption” actions by global, national, and state governments.
The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule. We Move to Amend
