A convergence of interests has occurred: It's called Citizenship.
Daily Kos: a site dedicated to Progressive-Liberal values, serving People before corporations; Seeking candidates who are bent on helping others before helping themselves.
Zero Hedge: a site dedicated to finding balance-sheet transparency amidst a sea of "lies, damn lies and statistics" (quote generally attributed to Samuel Clemens).
"George Washington" is tired of waiting for politicians to address the enormous fraud that threatens to sink our economy permanently. "George's" post on Zero Hedge is reproduced below. I trust that Kossacks will find it interesting.
January 9th Is "National Citizens Day" ... A Day to Show That WE Get to Decide Which Politicians Are Fired or Elected and Which Companies Fail or Succeed

In response to an article I wrote, Carol says:
We need is someone to set the agenda, to Name a Day for the country's disenfranchised to show up in Washington. And I believe we're all disenfranchised at the moment.
Alright, unless somebody has a better idea ...
I'm declaring January 9th National Citizens Day.
National Citizens Day will be a day to:
(1) Honor and celebrate the power of the American Citizen
(2) The fact that the American Citizens own the country, the government, and all its employees, who serve at their will
and
(3) The fact that the American consumer - who drives 70% of the American economy - dictates which companies succeed and which fail with his or her purchasing decisions
Here are traditional and appropriate ways to celebrate National Citizens Day:
•Show up in Washington D.C. [1] and show that you've got the power
•Move your money from one of the companies that are treating the American Citizen like we work for them [2] and who are holding the economy hostage [3] to a company which has not been bailed out by us, and is not taking our deposits and using them to speculate [4] in casino style gambling
May you have a happy and empowering National Citizens Day. It's the American thing to do.
January 9th National Citizens Day
