Tea Party 2.0

We all know that our political system is broken and the 112th Congress had the worst approval ratings in history. The bigger and broader problem is that the American public is as much a part of the problem as the politicians. So are the monied interests that have and are corrupting our systems and spreading mis- and dis- information campaigns. One of the great example of this conflated mess is the Tea Party.

We all know that the tea-baggers were manipulated by people like the Koch brothers. Supposed populists led by an elite.

It makes me wonder what they think of organizations like Homeward Bound or if they support Asheville Homeless Network or Westen Carolina Rescue Ministries that seems to be working a Goodwill type of model, but maybe helping homeless people.

Yeah, I foster a dog, but what do I do for people?

Look at the number of non-profits here in the USA. It's a lot. The Non Profit Times claims that the number is declining. Whatever, there are still a lot. How do you decide to support?

We might want to finish with a little bit of humor...

Intergral Activism makes it easy to get the biggest bang for your buck!
