[Grovenet] Listening to the Republican National Convention speeches

[Katie Allnutt]

It morphed together from a couple of comments on one of the KPOJ  
radio shows.  I don't remember if it was a guest or the host who put  
the two together.

Other famous community organizers include
Paul Revere
The founding fathers
Clara Barton
Martin Luther King Jr
etc.

Any time you get people to take back control of their lives and their  
destinies you are organizing them to use the power of helping each  
other achieve community goals for the benefit of all.
A deep understanding of government 'by the people' will transform  
this country in ways we haven't even dreamed of yet.  And only one  
candidate really 'gets it'.  The other one wants reform from the top  
down and then only the reform of his choosing.  If we elect the top  
down candidate it won't last very long and we'll be right back in the  
soup we are in now.
