15. Human Rights for All People is the right chord
You hit the right chord with your post, sweetheart.
Can it be played over and over, drummed into the common culture?

Human Rights For All People is as much a part of the American mythos as the 'rugged individualism' fantasy.

To answer the pervasive libertarian viewpoints that talk about wanting government off their backs or out of their checkbook, we say yes, government should not be on our backs it should be a tool that we are wielding, wielding toward the dream of defending the right to life, liberty & pursuit of happiness to all people.

None of us wants 'government on our backs'; that's why we need participatory democracy.
