A Brief Update

I just posted the following question on Organizing For America's Conversation With The President:

Mr. President, do you feel that the Washington federal government will ever allow the kinds of changes that are necessary to rebuild this nation economically while protecting us from the excesses of runaway capitalism, to put us on track for new cutting edge energy policies, to make our government more responsive to all of the people before economic interests, to work seriously on protecting the environment, to do away with the last vestiges of "legal" prejudicial distinctions and separations, to allow "we" the people, to provide proper and decent healthcare for all of "we" the people, to wrest the control of government away from the nonhuman corporate world, to reestablish the people’s faith in their own governmental institutions, and to move us into a future in which we work with the rest of the world as a high priority rather than continuing to deceive ourselves into believing that we are, by nature, inherently better than everyone else? Is there cause to believe that will ever happen?
