THE GUSSTEVENSON.COM POLITICS PAGE

The time has come to change our view of politics from one of a bunch of old men pandering from behind a podium, to one of normal folks like you and me getting involved. We can no longer allow big oil, big media, big money, and big, greedy corporations to run the country. Politicians are in office to represent us. We, the ordinary folks, have to pay attention, get informed, vote*, write letters, sign petitions, attend demonstrations, run for public office, and do whatever it takes to get our country back. It's the only way things are going to improve.

Below are various political materials (or links to materials) that I have assembled. Depending on your lean from the center, you'll either find much to agree with, or much to disagree with.
