Time for the Grass Roots
to Be Heard?

JUNE 27, 2005 --

LPR is starting to think that the internet was established as a gift from the Almighty so the people could find ways and means of communicating -- around a
distant media and even more distant politicians -- for the common good.

Notwithstanding talk how this person
or that wants to make a contribution -- lasting change for the better reflects the effort ot a lot of people, not one.

And the internet is just the means for an
individual, starting out alone, to reach others In the United States, the people are the Boss -- the politicians are just the representatives of the people. If the oil traders, for example, are to be anxious -- let them be anxious out of concern and
respect for the response of the American people who have opposed every form of bully -- political, economic, social -- since the founding of the Republic -- and stand
for freedom, justice, fair play.

Frank Capra's great films celebrated the goodness of the American spirit and the American people (echoing a paragraph in Federaliist 57). In the last scene of
"Meet John Doe" the newspaper editor played by James Gleason told the villains that they can't beat the American people.

LPR thinks it is the appropriate time of year for us on the internet to give this message to our representatives -- and to the global community: we don't knuckle under to bullies -- whether they are found manipulating prices of commodities, or are called "insurgents" who send people to commit murder by suicide.
