Just as a heads up Schneiter, the links button still won't work, it's not that I'm being lazy but the button shown when writing a new post labeled link literally won't work on my blog...
and I have looked over the project guide and I believe I have all the requirements...
*have a description of the problem as well as pictures, articles, etc...
*have the book review (was an interesting book)
*have the two things to affect change through government action
-Banning the citizens united bill
-The Super PAC's paragraph
*the four thing to affect private action
-Occupy Wall Street
-Ending Lobbying to some extent
-The pro-voting T-shirt
-Just need to create the xtranormal video, but can't find the freebies to make the video with so if you could show me what to do that would be great
email me back with anything I'm missing or I will talk to you tomorrow

Occupy Wall Street This protest was originally started in contrast to the 1% of the population that controls the majority of America's wealth, and how decades of policy that has supported the wealthy had been enacted at the expense of the middle class... They have now come to include the idea of attempting to change the role of money in politics by reducing the impact lobbyists and likewise ilk can have in government when supported by the rich. Also they protest for reduced college tuition (part of which including reducing student debt after graduation), stopping bail outs, supporting the increased taxation of the rich, and seeking an end to corporations being treated as people, etc... supporting Occupy Wall Street is an excellent option to petition the government for change as it is an example of peaceful protest against the role of money in politics and the tyranny of the upper class, except you run the risk of being at the receiving end of some pepper spray.
