Move to Amend calls forth some simple questions: Should corporations have more power than citizens? Should our governance be controlled primarily by the power of money? Should money speak so loud that it drowns out all other speech?

All those who came out to March Against Monsanto -- or resonated with the cause -- should understand that Move to Amend is a fundamental step to curtailing the power of Monsanto, the corporate media, and the corporate state.

2.   ECONOMIC: The "We're Not Buying It" Campaign. To make it easier to vote with your dollars, the Non-GMO Project has developed a free iPhone App Shopping Guide so you can instantly find and buy non-GMO brands. Please share this freely with friends and community, as well as any other technological innovations that allow us to boycott and buy-cott (support businesses that offer true alternatives).

3.   SPIRITUAL: Connecting the Good. Visionary activist Richard Flyer appreciates something that both Gandhi and Jefferson knew and spoke of -- small, local networks are the "healthy cells" of a revitalized body politic that can regrow the Garden -- and just, balanced, ethical governance -- from the grassroots up. If you like the Swami believe we need more forums and fewer "againstums" and you are ready for "creation" and not merely "reaction", please check out Connecting the Good.

Now is the time to remember Margaret Mead's classic quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

That's us, folks. Ready to join the upwising?
