Responded back, because if we challenge the little ones, the regulatory agencies wont have time to get to the big ones. Now, thats a part of what were up against. But i wanted to just indicate that our strategies are and theyre successful. Our strategies are to create selfhelp mechanisms for the consumers like the lemon law. To make to always make progress. To get victims organized to show what it is. Today the u. S. Department of transportation will not release the names and addresses of consumers who are complaining about a defect. Why wont they do that . They say, well, the consumer doesnt want to have their name made public. Well, in fact, the consumer is writing to 20 different institutions, attorney generals, action lines, the center for auto safety, you name it, and yet the agency says they want privacy. What theyre doing is theyre trying to stamp out media access to victims to build a story around. So, victims are exceedingly important to our winning strategies. The other thing
His political activism my question for you is, dont you think that there is no document as closely held to our heart as the constitution happens to be, that it is not sacrosanct. In other words, we have to have a constitutional convention, perhaps once every hundred years. Trying to have an allout process where the populace the constituents, 300 million would participate and then do a referendum, trying to have the documents revised to reflect the realities of the day rather than allowing it to be exploited by the establishment where the majority will be left on the fringes. Host the constitution is out of date in some respects. For example, the Words Corporation and company dont even appear in the constitution. The words Political Parties dont even appear in the constitution. Why allow it to rule us . Good question. Fundamental documents need renewal and expansion. The problem is, do you want to risk a convention in which you may lose some of the bill of rights and it may be retrograd

The National Polls are showing high polls inry terms of character, personality, consistency, clean politics. You never know. I think he is very important. He doesnt quit before california. I think he can help the democrats recover congress. I think that is his role. I dont think his role is to shout her raw for hillary for hillary but he can go around the country getting congressional democratic congress. Host what will he ask for at the convention . Caller he will get a primetime spot but he will ask for a 15 an hour minimum wage, universal health insurance, breaking up the big banks. He is not going to get anything. Once the vanquished goes to the convention, they are really vanquished and they just get in line, shut up, and praise the nominee. But i dont think he is going to do that. He can go all over the country supporting Democratic Candidates for election and he is likely to lend his credibility to hillarys in credibility. Ant so should he launch independent bid . Guest it is to
Its night to be here at politics and prose after all these years. Thank c sparks opinion cspan for coming which illustrates, by the way, how one person can make a difference.
