And another thing--the corporate controlled mainstream media isn't talking about the REAL systemic changes voters went for this year.

Which is why the citizenry needs to take back control of the airwaves. The politicians gave corporations far too much control over the airwaves we taxpayers own.

Some stories going unreported:

States that put upping the minimum wage on their ballots (min wage hasn't been raised since the Republicans took over Washington). It passed in every single state where it was on the ballot.

Municipalities that passed IRV, which would open the door to the biggest reforms in electoral politics in this country since the Gilded Age, and the citizen's ballot initiative and referendum process (in response to Gilded Age political and electoral corruption) came into being in 1902.

Transportation and energy-related initiatives and referendums that passed.

Eminent domain was the top ballot issue--it was on the ballot in 11 states.

Many voters actually approved tax increases.

The reason why these issues (minimum wage, eminent domain, tax increases, tarnsportation and energy) got put on the ballot in so many places, is because the politicians are not doing their jobs. So citizens do have the right in many (not all) places to go around do nothing politicians, and get these legislative and constitutional reforms on the ballot when their politicians are not serving THEIR interests.

We have been under the heel of the corporate jack boot for so long, most voters no longer even question why our government is serving the needs of corporations instead of it's citizenry.

It's time for a lot of sweeping change to happen. Non-partisan change, not "bi-partisan" change.

Don't be fooled by "bi-partisan". Anything that is "bi-partisan" is still partisan, because it supports and props up the hopelessly corrupted two party system.

Everyone knows what cowards politicians are when it comes to stewardship of our transportation and energy tax dollars.
