What needs to be done to overturn Citizens United? I want to do my part and spread the word.

It could be done in two ways. First, Congress could do it, although it will require overcoming the filibuster. Second, the Supreme Court can do it, although that will require changing the composition of the court. A lot of work, but work well worth doing.

Like Thom is saying today on his show, the Republicans must go the way of the Whigs and the Federalists, so that adults rather than fascists can be in charge. Then it will be possible to change the composition of the court. The midterms in November will determine, in my opinion, whether we can send the Republican party to oblivion before their harm to America becomes fatal.

I want to do my part to design a plan B -a plan for what happens if the Dems do poorly on November 8th. So, I just launched a new website, New Harmony ( newharmony.ohioprogressivelife.com ) .

I am publicizing the website now but still making minor tweaks. Hopefully the Plan B I want to discuss there will not be necessary. But the stakes are too high to wait until November 9th to start a detailed plan for the aftermath of a bad midterm. At least that is my thinking. I hope other Americans will contribute writings and ideas to my New Harmony website. My own content will be backed up with supporting evidence such as demographic statistics.

The Supreme Court and the Republican Party are too dangerous for me to only be encouraging voters to turn out, so I am doing this too.
