It's amazing to me how many people will jump on the "bitch train," more than happy to offer their opinion on a given topic. However, when the conversation turns to the "action wagon" most of them scatter like roaches when the light is turned on. 
Therein lies the problem, folks.
You see, to maintain a democratic society, you have to be willing to participate. It's kinda the whole point. When people stop participating, and just leave it to someone else, i.e., the government, you have a material breakdown of the foundation.
Many people believe we have been on the slow road to Socialism or Communism for quite some time...as early as the beginning of the 20th century. I say we're closer than you think. Most people appear to have becomed conditioned to take a hands off approach, preferring to criticize rather than participate. If you look at how much control we have given to the government, it's pretty clear. Deny it all you want, bury your head in the sand if you will... but when you come up for air one day, don't be surprised to see your way of life changed.
Ironically, as addicted to sensationalism as we've become, people will invest more time in watching their favorite reality TV shows than they will fighting to preserve a way of life. Sad but true. 
It's a choice people. Plug back in or have it taken away. Some of the brightest minds have been warning us for decades...maybe it's time, at the very least, to open our minds up to the possibility that democracy is at risk, and do something before it's too late.
I will continue my effort, and if it fails due to lack of support, that will be a shame. I'll know that I gave it an honest effort....more than most people will do, and that I attempted to be a part of a solution rather than simply another part of the problem.
In the end, if it fails, it will due to the fact people made a choice...they simply chose their fate. Someone told me long ago, "when people fail at something, it's because they don't know, or they don't care."
Well, our mission is to raise awareness
