Until we get the money out of politics -- repudiating the corporate aristocracy now dominating our government -- then government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" will remain frozen as words we no longer even try to embody. Our generation's job is to change that.
Impeaching or defeating Trump will not be enough to correct all wrongs. We need to do more than not go over the cliff; we need to get out of the vicinity of the cliff. Otherwise, the forces he represents will be back in '22 and '24. The deeper corruption is bigger than one man.
Trump did not create the worst dysfunctions of our democracy; our worst dysfunctions created him. He's the symptom, not the cause, of a dangerous slide away from vital democracy toward corporate authoritarian rule. The slide began 40 years ago and he's simply the climactic event.
Why are we so much sicker in America? It’s time we ask the tough questions & THEN DO SOMETHING! It is up to US, you know. Look what has happened to our health when we’ve left it up to big money & corporate greed-We are getting sicker while they get richer. https://t.co/OW2Iuw2Qm0

Our country should not be run like a business; it should be run like a family. First you take care of your children and your older people, then everything else falls more easily into line. That’s what it means to move from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line.
Millions of people who voted for Trump are disturbed by his behavior now. If we campaign in 2020 simply raging at Trump, we are scolding those people, making them wrong. The way to win in 2020 is not by fighting what is, but by inspiring and invoking what could be.
FIGHT-FIGHT-FIGHT, I am so sick of it & so is @marwilliamson . She is NOT running to FIGHT or to BEAT anyone. Her motives are succinct & pure. She is in it to heal USA. If you’re as exhausted as I am with all the FIGHTING, it’s time to Vote for Marianne! https://t.co/OW2Iuw2Qm0
I don’t want to go to Washington and fight for you; I want to go to Washington and co-create with you. We need a ‘new birth of freedom.’ We need to turn the page now. We need to create something completely new.

Totally agree with @marwilliamson about how our current politics has NO heart. It is the reason our democracy is in the ditch. But Marianne can’t do this alone. American’s need to stop complaining & step up to do something about it. https://t.co/OW2Iuw2Qm0
Someone asked how to apply spirituality to politics; spirituality is simply the path of the heart. Our policies re the poor are heartless. Our policies re children are heartless. Our policies re the earth are heartless. Our policies re criminal justice are heartless. CHANGE THEM.

@Oprah @oprahmagazine @leighhaber@MichelleObama Hey, Oprah - I’m a big fan of you AND @marwilliamson. Won’t you consider helping us get her on TV by making a donation and backing her for POTUS? Thanks for your consideration & thanks for spreading spirituality far & wide! https://t.co/OW2Iuw2Qm0
While many Democratic presidential candidates have dropped out of the 2020 race, @marwilliamson says she will run "as long as that kind of connection is happening" with the voters.
"I'm here because my heart says to be here and I'll be here as long as my heart says to stay."
@CNNnewsroom @marwilliamson SPOT ON - “It’s FRESH, VERSUS stale!” This is ANOTHER direct, clear & honest interview by @CNNnewsroom with @marwilliamson that is so clear AND fresh! Love this candidate for her courage, persistence, intellect & passion. https://t.co/OW2IuvLeXq
This is a very pregnant moment in American history. On one hand some things are terrible; there’s no doubt about that. On the other hand, so many people have now gotten a taste of serious governmental malfunction that there’s an openness to fundamental repair and a new beginning.
Nothing will fundamentally change until American capitalism morally self-corrects, and that’s what’s possible now. It’s not capitalism itself but a virulent strain of it that has corrupted our government and highjacked America’s value system. I’m for capitalism with a conscience.
