EVERY MIND COUNTS

Help participate in internet activism. One way to do this is to get on the internet message boards and help enlighten minds and reduce the confusion and deception that is out there. Or simply copy and paste this link: http://thetempestuousnemesis.blogspot.com/

The RepubliCons are using corporate money to pay people to do this. Lets let our activism be people-based.

THE LEGACY OF THE POWELL MEMO

In 1971, a corporate lawyer and future supreme court member, Lewis F. Powell, wrote a memorandum to the Director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The memo called for the increased role of the Chamber to effect public opinion through the means of "constant surveillance" and the monitoring of textbooks and media to guard against "criticism of the enterprise system." Powell also called for increased influence in the "radio and press" and a "more aggressive attitude" in order to "influence consumer decisions."

The Chamber heeded his advice and helped initiate a new movement that spawned the creation of more Republican think-tanks, as well as other powerful organizations that would serve to put more business friendly politicians in power.

THE PLAN WORKED.

The Robber Barons are back in control.
