If that's not grass roots, I don't know what is.

How dare Congress take food from the children of the unemployed who have been forced to go on food stamps? Meanwhile, our president met with corporate executives today for a $195.00 a plate lunch. GOP stands for guardians of privilege and the Democrats are no better despite all their pretenses. How dare our own government consign a significant portion of our children to eat nothing but ramen noodles? How dare they?

How dare Congress take the slender housing assistance of low income disabled Americans and low income seniors and turn us out on the streets while they remain royally aloof from the rest of us in their million dollar gated communities? Do you know how much impact housing assistance for seniors and the disabled has on the national debt? Perhaps one percent. If that. How dare Congress place ideology over human beings? How dare they?

Corporate Government is rapidly creating an ever expanding class of Americans with nothing to lose. Where are we going to go? Where else but the streets? Occupy America!

The entire post is excellent but this last portion stood out for me.

I have long advocated guilliotines in Washington. I think the mere presence of one or two has the potential to remind these fukkers who they are responsible to.

My state, currently being run by a man who helped tank Lehman brothers, is a perfect storm of crazy state sell-offs and privatizations that will lead no where good. It will, however, line the pockets of Kasichk and his cronies. I don't know how these people sleep at night.
