Demand from your congressmen that third party candidates be allowed in local ,state and national debates.
As it is now our two party system allows only input from the fascist right and the socialist left which are actually two sides of the same coin.
Fascim and Socialsim are both forms of collectivism the antithesis of personal liberty.

Absolutely, I couldn't agree more.
Our nation has been taken over by corporations. A Ron Paul or even a Dennis Kucinich would greatly benefit the American public as they have not been bought and paid for by big business.
FOX (a.k.a. the corporate shill network) HATE those two guys with a passion. Sean Hannity (the biggest corporate mouthpiece of them all) wanted to ban Ron Paul from future Republican debates because he dared to suggest that invasive American corporate policies in the middle east were an underlying factor that have led to many terrorist attacks (including the WTC) upon the Western world.
Green Day said it best in their song "American Idiot":
Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information nation of hysteria.
It's going out to idiot America.

Get involved with the Ron Paul campaign. Ron Paul is the closest presidential candidate to Goldwater ideals. Get involved, and make noise. Make Paul a major candidate so that people have to take up and notice.
Paul is positioned now to jump into the top 3 among GOP candidates running.

The answer is definately not with either of the two major party's. The Republicans are Corporate Facists who are selling out America for a quick Profit. The Democrats are owned by Special Intrests. Both share power by providing the illusion that you have a choice.
I only hope there is an answer short of violent revolution. Most Americans owe thier souls at this point and haven't the guts our ancestors had.

I truly doubt we can at this point. Ron Paul would be a good start but you know as well as I do that does nothing about congress. I think we need strict term limits in government. One four year term for senators two, two year terms for representatives and then out of government. People say they want to be elected for public service, prove it. Work for minimum wage and no more benefits on our tax dollars, no pensions, no health care. Put your service where your mouth is, you get four years to accomplish something positive for America and Americans, not the opportunity to become career leeches bought and paid for by corporate America and special interest groups.

I agree, as time goes on the more I want a 3rd party candidate. I'm sick of the people we have now who are loyal to special interest groups and whoever contributes the most to their campaign funds.

A very good first step is supporting HR333 and getting Chaney out! Next we need Dub-ya out! Then we need to clean up our justice department and bring the criminals to justice! We have shown we can force congress to listen to us as with the amnesty bill, now is the time to do it again in support of HR 333.

Get rid of both of the dominant political parties.
Get rid of 90% of the legislation passed in the last 20 years.
And get rid of political primaries entirely -- make everyone deal with everyone else on an individual basis.

I agree the party system is not working to the average Americans benefit, or actually to any Americans benefit.
I question whether most in power are really Americans at all?
As Washington said:
I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the
State, with particular reference to the founding of them on
geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more
comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner
against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature,
having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind.
It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or
less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but in those of the
popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly
their worst enemy.
. . .
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble
the public administration. It agitates the community with
illfounded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity
of one part against another; foments occasionally riot and
insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and
corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government
itself through the channels of party passion. Thus the policy
and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and
will of another.
There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful
checks upon the administration of government, and serve to keep
alive the spirit of liberty. This within certain limits is
probably true; and in governments of a monarchial cast
patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon
the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in
governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged.
From their natural tendency it is certain there will always be
enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose; and there
being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force
of public opinion to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be
quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting
into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.
It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a
free country should inspire caution in those intrusted with
its administration to confine themselves within their
respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise
of the powers of one department to encroach upon another.
The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers
of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever
the form of government, a real despotism.

Register as a Republican, vote a conservative in, and make sure he gets elected. McCain and Guiliani do not count
