Will you do more than vote, talk, read and write in the usual ways? Will dissidents on the left and right join together to fight a common enemy? Or will elites continue to feed their greed through economic tyranny?

The US is kind of like a big corporation, taking over other companies -- countries -- and rebuilding them in its image. We install leaders, or CEOs, of these countries in the name of "Freedom."

Months after his main rivals dropped out of the race, McCain has failed to win over voters in key Republican demographics. Last week in Indiana Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul won 18 percent of the vote.
