ENGAGE US #1: Our Invitation to You
	[INDEX|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13]

We invite you to engage us in this idea: giant corporations govern. In the Constitution of the United States, they are delegated no authority to make our laws and define our culture. Corporations have no constitutions, no bills of rights. So when corporations govern, democracy flies out the door.

This may be a depressing idea. But it is not a new idea. Or a complicated one. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, among many others, spelled it out: "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private power."

There is something else: when people live within a culture of privatized power, common sense scrambles out the window. People cease to trust their own eyes and ears, to rely upon their own experiences. Their minds become colonized. We invite you to work with us to change this.
