I think the Occupy phase has to keep going. I also think that Don makes an excellent point about finding people to run for seats in the HoR and Senate who will force Boss Hawg to account for his/her actions. There is little transparency in Washington. If Obama is the sop needed to actually have a president, then maybe that's the price of democracy, although I'd rather see a man of integrity like Bernie Sanders run for and get elected to what was once an esteemed position in America. I feel the office of the presidency has hit rock bottom. I had great hopes for Obama, but his broken election promises speak volumes, none of them good.

I think the two-party system has run its course. It needs to go. The only way to do that is have sitting HoR and Senators run as independents, because the majority of US congressmen and women can no longer be trusted to vote as their constituents wanted when they were elected or do now that they are elected. IMO
