If you want a clear picture of what is happening in America right now, check out these books and sites.  I'm a self confessed Progressive.  What's happening in this country is scary!  The far right is in the process of legislating their morality to the detriment of all the rest of us.  Actually, they are legislating their morality in the name of the Republican Party and their base, the richest 3% of this nation.  They are breaking the unions or trying to in order to take campaign monies away from the Democratic party.  That is their most obvious agenda.  I'm sure there is more to it than that.

I think the young people of this country are starting to wake up.  These stone cold sober well educated young adults are going to do what needs to be done to save their future from those who are working very hard to take it away from them.  They will make the hippie movement during the Viet Nam war look like a picnic just as they did to elect Obama.  And they will be the salvation of us all in the process!

I don't see Obama looking out for our rights.  I voted for him, but I am sorely disappointed in his performance to date.  He has the bully pulpit, and he is NOT using it to keep his promises to us.  Take a look at the recommendations below, I think you will have the scales fall from your eyes.
