I've been so livid over the whole 40+ state actions of Republicans attempt to take over the country by electing their candidates through deceptive campaigns, Orwellian bills that do the opposite of what the title says, taking away workers rights, destroying education, eliminating women's rights, de-funding and destroying public education... the list goes on and on.... and the gall of asking the elderly, the poor, the middle class, and students and even young mothers and babies, to share in "sacrifice" while giving tax cuts to corporations and businesses, BIG businesses that don't need the tax breaks and are making record profits!!!..... AAARGGHHH!!
All this makes me angry, frustrated, and sad because I am not a politician, or even that well versed in politics, but I'd like to think I know what is Just, and what they are doing is not it!
I have one gift to offer to help move people, bring our causes together, and rally the citizens to rise up and speak with one voice to be heard over the din of groomed and layered misinformation coming out of politicians and the media.....
A song.
Music is a universal language and I'm offering this simple song for any and all to use in your public or private events, protests, gatherings, or media outreach to help further the cause of getting out the vote and making sure that people are riled up enough to go out and "do something" to make a difference.
Here's the links for lyrics and music.
Lyrics also included below the fold...
Let me know what you think, if there's anyone else who could use this, feel free to share it with them and post or send to anyone else in your social networking. I welcome any other information that might help me get this song to people that could use it.
Thanks!

Went out looking for a job, all the doors were closed again.
Governor says got a right to work, but we don't got a right to get paid.
He says welfare queens are bringing us down and not the Wall Street Watergate,
But grandma's gotta do without 'cuz the medicine check is late.
Everybody say, Hey! Governor! Who the hell do you think you are?
Say Hey, Governor! I think you're going just way too far.
You say Tax cuts for the millionaire, and a tax cut for your hair.
Tax cuts for the oil spill just to let it run everywhere.
Fortune 500 gotta have a break, to send my job overseas.
You sign away on the dotted lines, Goodbye American Dream.
Everybody say, Hey! Governor! Who the hell do you think you are?
Say Hey, Governor! I think you're going just way too far.
You say you care a lot about life, before it's even born.
But you take away a woman's rights and you leave her womb bloody and torn.
You talk a lot about Freedom, collecting your Toll road fees.
You say that we're the greatest, but I can hear the babies cry in need.
Everybody say, Hey! Governor! Who the hell do you think you are?
Say Hey, Governor! I think you're going just way too far.
(repeat 2 more times)
Governors across the states, try to take away the working man's voice.
But your golf course needs a bigger green, so the public school gets no choice!
My country tis of thee, by the people, for the people, that's dead.
You got tax cuts for your shiny jets, while you take away the poor man's bread!
Tax cuts for the millionaires, and a tax cut for your hair.
Tax cut for the oil spill just to let it run everywhere.
Fortune 500 gotta have a break, to send my job overseas.
We sign away on the dotted line, Goodbye American Dream.
We sign away on the dotted line, Goodbye American Dream.
We sign away on the dotted line, Goodbye American Dream.
Everybody say, Hey! Governor! Who the hell do you think you are?
Say Hey, Governor! I think you're going just way too far.
(repeat and fade)
