On September 17th, 231 years ago, a set of delegates set out and ratified the United States Constitution. It had been in the works since that February when they had initially met to revise the flawed Articles of Confederation. In the Constitution, they set out the structure of our government, and our fundamental rights. Now 230 years later, those fundamental rights have been stripped away, piece by piece until most of us would be hard be hard pressed to find even one that hasn't been tampered with.
So why "Revolution"? The revolutions of the past can stay there if we act now. Many will question the term because they associate revolutions with violent action and upheaval, and historically speaking they would be right, but we as United States citizens can make a choice to change before it comes to a point where that is the only feasible way left to change. Violent revolutions happen because change isn't instituted as the ground level while things are still changeable.
Join us in making a difference. Vote in better candidates, encourage reforms, and take back your rights. We should be ashamed that we ever let them be taken away in the first place, and we cannot stand for this any longer.

I like this, more to come, yeah?
More to come I hope. Just got a little distracted by classes.
