We checked our email this morning to find this set of photographs from a young woman who, apparently, had become very frustrated about the corrupting influence of money in politics. We’re pretty sure this is real.

Nicely done. Thanks.
By the way, that is some bee-yoo-tee-full freehand calligraphy you’ve got going on there. Although the pen nibs you used must be enormous. [ : =)

@John: Font is Lucida Handwriting. It’s not calligraphy (not even Lucida Calligraphy). Clearly photoshopped. I hope you’re kidding.

We need to stand up, rally, protest, create & sign petitions, write letters to every senator, congressman that we will not allow you to be elected into office if the coporate issue is not resolved and that Main Street gets restitution. A balanced & fair treatment of every citizen, not just Big Companies, Politicians, & Wal…l Street, but also the people of the world!

Maybe, if you big bunch of cowards stopped TALKING about it and took to the streets, guns in hand, like our Founding Fathers did, maybe we can put a stop to this crap.
That’s right, armed revolution is the only solution to our problems, as opposed to working through a system the empowered minorities own top to bottom.
Protests, petitions…ask the power class to pretty please not crush us under their jackboots…HA! That’s like hens organizing a rally to protest weasels, foxes and chicken hawks eating them.
It’s become clear that the only way to cure the ills of society is to tear it down through force, exterminate the power class ,their heirs, and everyone who lends aid and comfort to these enemies of the human racde, and rebuild.

@Will: LOL…Fantasy. I’ve heard this before and I have to admit that it might actually work if the National Guard were armed and dressed no better than the people doing the revolting – with nothing but “guns in hand.” However, let’s all meet Mr. Reality for a moment here. At the first sign of a people’s revolt, troop carriers would be sent out and battalions of well armed soldiers would be unloaded, dressed in full battle gear, wielding all sorts of modern weaponry, i.e., canisters of noxious gas, high tech rifles, night vision goggles, bullet proof vests, high tech communications, grenade launchers, West Point trained commanders commanding……and all the rest.
Then, if that wasn’t quite enough to get the populace scattering, you’d soon see Black Hawk Helicopters circling overhead and Bradley tanks rolling down the boulevard.
You might even get a drone or two buzzing around high in the sky.
Get the picture.
A “well armed militia” has become perhaps a bit TOO well armed for the people’s own good.
