Can we not see it?

[1]

Dear Supporter:

Can we not see it?

Opinionated news befouls all citizens, twisting reality with “facts” that
are not facts. The tortured logic is presented as gospel truth in emotional
messages that destroy our confidence in each other and the institutions our
fathers, their fathers and their fathers before them built to protect us
from such abuse.

Studies have shown that opinionated news, both liberal and conservative, is
saturated with inaccuracies and blatant falsehoods. That, coupled with the
fact that 80% of the money we give to support candidates is no longer used
to support them but to trash opponents, eats at the heart of The People’s
ability to self-govern.

If there is no difference between fact and fiction there can be no
democracy. But 2 + 2 DOES = 4 and we know it, so why behave like monkeys on
a rope.

We are organized and managed through every dollar spent on messaging that
moves us emotionally instead of intellectually.

We are learning to hate each other. How could we, in the birthplace of
democracy and freedom, be so willingly led to the slaughter by such
shameless political preaching when the remedy sits right before us,
patiently waiting to hear us say “enough” and begin to fight back.
