Randy Johnson: I'm just a guy with a wandering mind, a love for nature, and an interest in politics. I'm intolerant of intolerance and support civil rights for all people. I'm against trickle-down economics. I'm against the neo-con ideals of might makes right, and privatization is the answer to everything. I'm for single-payer healthcare. I'm for raising the cap on the social security tax, so the mega-rich will have to chip in the same percentage of their income as the middle class, allowing all of us to retire with some level of security and dignity. I campaigned for Barack Obama because I believe it's time to shift the balance of power away from the fringes of fascism, and back toward the common citizen, or as John Adams (our first conservative president) called us “the multitude, the vulgar, the herd, the rabble, the mob.” Sorry Adams, but I think Jefferson was on the right track, and I hope someday his vision will be realized. If we really want to save this country, we need publicly funded elections, and a reemergence of a strong independent news media with the balls to hold our politicians to account once again. Walter Cronkite, Edward R Murrow, we need you now more than ever!
