Proposed 29th Amendment: Opinion, Polling Data, and Local Support

The proposed “29th Amendment” aims to modernize and strengthen American governance by addressing a range of issues—campaign finance, government transparency, digital rights, and social welfare. Unlike more narrowly focused amendments, it takes a comprehensive approach, reflecting widespread voter frustration with entrenched interests and outdated structures. This broad scope can be both an asset and a challenge. However, when looking at public sentiment, there is plenty of optimism about many of these reforms and how they might reinvigorate democracy.

The Plastics problem, unspoken solutions

The second thing we have to accomplish is making a massive investment and push in our society, political system and manufacturing facilities towards biopolymers, but investing in the recycling program and rehabilitating it We can decrease the amount of new plastics being introduced while simultaneously increasing the amounts we develop in biopolymers, by using this dual approach we can transition off of the olefin plastics everybody hates. While biopolymers have come a long way over the years there is still research to be done so they can surpass other types of plastics. As well with biopolymers we can use them to replace the subsidies farmers now enjoy from ethanol because we also want to transition away from gas and oil entirely, we don't want our farmers to suffer because we want a better world.

The unrepresented majority of America

To fix this country we must, hold our political leaders accountable, move to a public funding for elections and remove the ability ALL PAC spending, The problem with money in politics didn't start with citizens United It began in the 1970s after the Wealthy got sick of paying their fair share and decided we are not worth their money. So since the 1970s the wealthiest tax rate has continued to go down. As a result they have personally ran up the credit card of the country, for their decades of tax breaks. And they expect us to vimo off their debt, as if there's some sort of bad roommate who spent all their money and now needs a $50. At this point I'm calling for 90% tax rate on the top 1% not because they need to be penalized but because if we don't, The country will go bankrupt. But don't worry They got all the crypto in the world you'll need.

Gerrymandering not the correct path for America!

Gerrymandering not the correct path for America!

the newest trend emerging, gerrymandering a state. Again they are limiting your freedom of choice and choosing which side gets to win, they are they're essentially eliminating freedom of choice. Instead of gerrymander you will no longer have the choice between a Democrat, a Republican or an independent. Regardless of where you fall in the Overton window your choice will be made for you. By designing districts to predetermine outcomes, politicians strip voters of real choice. Any leader who advocates gerrymandering   in their own state or someone else’s  is confessing they don’t believe in free and fair elections. They’re terrified of genuine competition because it threatens their jobs, their power and the comforts of elected office. Their rallying cry that “we must gerrymander everywhere or we won’t have fair elections” is a decades‑long misdirection meant to normalize this abuse.

The Wage war on Wealth Tax Plan

Hello! to the fine people of Minnesota District 6, Austin Winkelman is Back with a new message. Wage war on the wealth Tax The wealthy, Save the country. Now what does this mean? Wage war on the wealthy? To put it in simple terms, we tax the wealthy at exorbitant rates. Simply Because when the 1% had a chance to Pay their fair share, they turned it down and took a tax break instead. Simply, the government is going broke Because we are taxing the poor, who have nothing as it stands. It has gotten to the point where they have cut everything possible, Healthcare for the Elderly; Food programs for those in need including for children, the elderly, and working-class people everywhere; as well as the federal government staff to just make everything not function as well. Because it is pretty easy to point at the government and say it does not work when you do not fund it. so how do we fund the federal government? We tax the wealthy.

The Illusion of Choice: Overlapping Donors Between Centrist Democrats and Conservative Republicans

The Illusion of Choice: Overlapping Donors Between Centrist Democrats and Conservative Republicans

In American politics, voters are often presented with two seemingly opposed options: Democrats and Republicans. Yet beneath the surface of partisan rhetoric lies a web of shared financial interests that binds key factions of both parties together. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the overlapping donor networks of centrist Democrats—often influenced by think tanks like Third Way—and conservative Republicans, many of whom align with the Heritage Foundation.

This report explores how shared donors, particularly wealthy individuals and corporate PACs, contribute to both Third Way-aligned Democrats and Heritage Foundation-backed Republicans. It reveals how such dual-sided giving shapes policy outcomes, mutes transformative change, and narrows the scope of political choice available to the American public.

The Illusion of Choice: How Elite Networks Hijacked American Democracy

We’ve all been told that America’s political divide is between left and right, Democrat and Republican, red and blue. But what if that’s just a distraction? What if the real divide isn’t horizontal, but vertical — between the powerful few at the top and the rest of us at the bottom?

As we dig into the connections between Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and the political ideology known as the “Third Way,” a disturbing pattern emerges: both major parties may have been co-opted by overlapping elite interests that maintain power through a carefully managed illusion of choice. This isn’t about conspiracy — it’s about structure, incentives, and the quiet machinery of influence.

Resist the reds

·         Rule One: DON’T BE ALONE! Organize an off-line group meet publicly and in person, your local library has rooms you can reserve hang out, chat and have coffee.

·         Rule Two: DON’T MAKE IT EASY! Resist, this is key. Don’t let them push you around fight back by any non-violent means possible, protest, sue, shut down the government if that’s what it take. Don’t make it easy.

·         Rule Three: NEVER USE VIOLENCE! The use of violence may seem like the best and safest path, but any violence used on them will be played back upon us 10-fold, we must resist the use of violence until it is bestowed upon us, everyone has a red-line, mine is violence against my fellow Americans. How about you?

The Amaerican Oligarchy

Let me ask you a question? Why, would the worlds richest man “be F@#$” (his words, not mine) if Donald lost? I personally have no idea, and yes that was Elon musk that said that. But irrespective of how we got here it is pointless to lament the decisions and problems, because this is where we find ourselves. Tesla hit over 1 trillion on the stock market cap the other day, who has a nice job in the government? This is how oligarchy works. The supper rich get richer and run the government, than to get anything; you just have to talk to the UN-elected rich guy make him/her richer and hay you got what ever regulation and/or law you like.

Elon Musk, Most Dangerous man in America?

I always felt that twitter (original) was like the little green radio Hitler used Pre-WW2, it is what Donald used to amplify his Message in 2016 and yes even to start the “birth certificate” drama with Obama.
So, When Elon First acquired twitter things changed, suddenly scores of people where fired, then things began to change slowly. The feeds felt different some people felt cut off and comments began to be segregated from each other. It was an interesting period, considering scores of people were fired or quit. But still remained the ability to moderate and just oversee the number of posts and people, I believe he quickly began using AI to oversee the traffic, posts, etcetera.

Little did I know that they would just reclassify that $150 as a donation and remove me from the list of people allowed to participate in my own parties Event. So, I headed up to Duluth, only to find they did in fact remove me, and then The DFL proceeded to block by email. So, I had no recourse, but to pack it up and go home.

The vast majority of company’s I worked for where wonderful, but on occasion I would come across one that was entirely on the “up and up.”
