Grassroots Democrats need to join with Ben Jealous of the NAACP and Rev. Jesse Jackson of Rainbow-PUSH in calling for an end to the "War on Drugs" and transfer of all that misspent energy to cracking down on the organized criminal conspiracy to steal the elections and wealth of the vast majority of the American people--the 99.9%.
Michelle Alexander calls for a mass movement in her seminal book, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in an Age of Color Blindness. Like the civil rights movement built by the Rev. Martin Luther King. Jr., a 21st civil movement should be multiracial.
What if there were a million plus "person" march on Washington led by Jill Simpson--described by former Governor Don Siegelman as an American hero and modern "Joan of Arc" for her courageous confrontation with Karl Rove--Dana Siegelman, Andy Kreig of the Justice Integrity Project, the Presidents of Public Citizen, Public Campaign and Common Cause--the organizations which led the June 20, 2012 march on Karl Rove's Crossroads Grassroots Strategies out of the Take Back the American Dream Conference of the Campaign for America's Future--along with the Labor Leaders, Religious Leaders and Civil Rights leaders of our nation? Could such a march enable the people of the United States, who won the election of 2012, to reclaim Justice in America as part of the just spoils of that momentous victory.
A possible agenda, among other things:
The release of political prisoners,
The investigation of political assassinations,
The investigation of systemic red shifting of elections--most urgently of the 2010 elections across the country, and
Reconsideration of the Citizens United decision by the U.S. Supreme Court with mandatory recusal of Justice Thomas for receipt of undisclosed funds from the Koch Brothers and Chief Justice Roberts for participation as an advocate in the Bush v. Gore decision that installed a government committed to giving business everything they wanted, which included their domination of elections by means of unlimited, secret expenditures, which the Citizens United decision gave them.
