We Don't Talk About P-word

by Jerry Norman

Let’s talk politics. No, not the R versus D bullshit that upsets Thanksgiving and causes us to disown our uncles. Let’s talk about the REAL state of politics. Let’s talk about the backstabbing, the partisan squabbling, and of course the propaganda. Let’s talk about what’s going on behind the curtain. What I am offering is a less technical view of politics, one that I hope is more easily digested. Whether you believe in everything I say or not isn't the point. What I want is for everyone that hears my podcast to think. https://www.facebook.com/groups/458728069590659 https://twitter.com/TalkPword

  27. Full of Concepts

    The Constitution is a living document. The only way to protect the People's power is to breathe life back into it. We must remind our representatives that they are servants, not rulers. We must demand amendments to strengthen the People's rights.

  28. The Very Basis Of Our Government

    Why does it feel like the People's rights are constantly under attack? Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's been thirty years since Congress protected the People's rights with an amendment. Why would they ignore their responsibility to the People? Maybe it's because corporate elites pay…
