People dont pay attention until they have to
We got the Supreme Court, we pressured the Supreme Court into supporting women's rights to choose.
The Obama Administration has embraced the policies of George W. Bush, and then gone much further. Wall Street bailouts went ballistic under Obama-$700 billion under Bush, but $4. 5 trillion under Obama, plus another $16 trillion in zero-interest loans for Wall Street.
We call for cancelling student debt, for bailing out young people like Wall Street was bailed out to the tune of $16 trillion.
We need a broad commitment to human rights across the board. We cannot attain that simply by protecting one oppressed group or the other.
We also call for free public education going forward. We know it pays for itself.
The other piece of this is that we call for cutting our bloated and dangerous military budget. And this is something that is made possible by moving to 100% clean renewable energy, where we cannot justify wars for oil, and where we cannot justify having some 700, 800 bases gathered around the world in something like 100 countries in significant measure protecting either access to fossil fuels or protecting routes of transportation.

The soul seeks God by faith, not by the reasonings of the mind and labored efforts, but by the drawings of love; to which inclinations God responds, and instructs the soul, which co-operates actively. God then puts the soul in a passive state where He accomplishes all, causing great progress, first by way of enjoyment, then by privation, and finally by pure love.
