Gettysburg revisited

[click here for a video with the following text]

Seven score and seventeen years ago President Lincoln at Gettysburg [1863-11-19] asked his audience to resolve that those dead should not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, should have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth.

Today, corporations are people, and we have government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations. We need corporations. We do not need corporations on welfare. We do not need corporations controlling our media and our government. We must resolve that those who died at Gettysburg and who have died for lack of freedom since, including George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, to name only two, shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the humans, by the humans, for the humans shall be restored to the earth.
