Just this past Friday, I released my first trip to the Mississippi Delta in the form of a photography blog detailing my experiences of blues history, good food, and more. Within a few hours of publishing the story, a friend of mine tagged me and many others in a video created by an organization called Represent.us, which showed a brief, five minute animated clip showing exactly how our system of government works against the people it is meant to represent, in order for large corporations (who actually run our country) to keep power and profit.
And who do they profit from?
You. You, your family, your children, your friends, and all the people who work hard every day in order to enjoy the sovereignty of self that this great country was originally intended to provide. This is why, only a day after releasing what I consider a big article for me, I am immediately writing up this post to take the lead in my content stream. It is that important to me.
I could tell you why this video is so impacting, but it's best you just watch it yourself. Trust me, you will benefit from it. Then, after you watch the "Problem" video, you can view the even shorter "Solution" video.
Basically, the solution premise is to rally city to city votes to make laws that do not allow for corruption (big corporations funding political puppets, bribery, and the like) and then to eventually move up to entire states to make these laws. Once a few states enact these laws, others will soon follow and Washington will have no choice but to change. It's the same premise with Gay Marriage or the Legalization of Cannabis. Congress wouldn't change it, so PEOPLE rallied to change things slowly over time until the entire country had to adopt, just as we saw with the recent supreme court ruling on same sex marriage.
And here's the best part: This plan is already working! In the south for that matter!
On Nov. 4th, 2014, voters in Tallahassee, Florida made history by approving the first city Anti-Corruption Act in the United States by an overwhelming 2 – 1 margin.
Please watch the videos below and invite others to do the same. The biggest factor in making a movement like this go is the collaboration of the people that make up our country.
