Remember Ross Perot.

I remember. Perot actually seemed to have some good ideas & was refreshing at the time. He got what, 10%? And that was considered a successful 3rd party candidate.

I wonder if times are different now with alternate news sources and the internet. I think the press is our number one problem. My buddy believes what she hears from CNN and reads in the NYTimes and Washington Post. She believes AP and NPR are truthful and neutral. She hates big business, loves big government, and doesn't believe they are fused together. She thinks every bureaucrat knows better and is looking out for her.

The information just doesn't get through. I am wondering if money needs to be raised for a variety of mass mailing postcards, over and over and over, with quickly absorbable facts. Like the graphic that shows there are only, what?, six mega media corporations? That with a catchy title about big business controlling your news, in every mailbox in as many areas as possible. With some website to go to for more facts ... not for a cause or a group or to raise money. Just to get more facts out there. Sure, most would go in the trash, but some would get through, I should think. And perhaps that would start chiseling away at the block.
