This group was birthed March 7, 2009 out of my silent scream, "What is happening to America?" I thought that I was alone. I had to do something; had to connect with others. Our first Meetup was on the 13th for Glenn Beck's first address to millions of those who thought they were alone in tsunami of progressive propaganda. GOALS FOR US: The goals are simple but require focus and dedication COMMUNICATE - We want to verbally and spiritually connect with others who are sick of the destructive prog …

This group is all about team-work from the grass-roots level within the GOP of Snohomish and King Counties to educate ourselves on effective use and influence of the local political system.  Especially reinventing and re-energizing the GOP in our counties to win local elections and improve outcomes for national elections also.

America is in Trouble. Rising National Debt, low Educational performance, crumbling Infrastructure, lack of political will and direction. Is America now in a long term decline?

This group will be the polar opposite of Glen Beck style crazy. The nation faces real issues and needs real solutions. Not more smoke and mirrors for …

Money buys our politicians. Most of the money comes from multinational corporations. In the end, our politicians do not serve us; they serve the people who pay them. It's time to change that. It's time to end the corporate takeover of our government.

Our political system is broken. Polls from earlier this year showed Congress with a historically low 10% (8% among Independents) approval rating. Meanwhile, there is a growing unease in our Nation. An undercurrent of fear that something has gone, Is going, terribly wrong. This fear is well founded and the breakdown in our political system is only the latest symptom. At this point Voting for either a Democrat or a Republican is not going to Fix the breakdown in Washington. Ask yourself, has it pr …

WHY WE WANT TO MEETUP. Gli Italiani sono molto bravi o almeno secondi a nessuno! Bisogna solo mettere da parte i parassiti e dare il potere a chi lavora e genera occupazione. Adesso il sistema Italia e' basato sui Bot, che altro non sono che assegni a vuoto postdatati, che si rinnovano con un meccanismo perverso; le banche impegnano tutti i soldi per comprarli e non fanno il loro lavoro, cioe' finanziare il lavoro. Bisogna fermare questa situazione, consolidando il solo debito che e' giusto c …

The Puget Sound Socialists is a District of the International Socialist Organization. The ISO is committed to building a left alternative to a world of racism, poverty, war, and environmental destruction. A socialist society where people come before profit—built from the bottom up through the struggles of ordinary people against exploitation, oppression, and injustice—is desperately needed. In the U.S., a tiny proportion of the population enjoys fantastic wealth, while millions of people live i …

We have a voice. We have beliefs. We will fight for them. Punks On Politics is a platform for an alternative population to realize the power of ideas and engage in the policy/political process. We have been, at best, patronized; but more often we have been overlooked and ignored. We are not the detritus of a culture in decline. We are an active movement and culture unto ourselves.
