How warped is Clinton's reality?

You were too late to be Paulette Revere for the recession, but there are other chances in life. No hard feelings Paulette, let's get another horse for the job.

Join the chorus calling about the next crisis Congress has caused, the next crisis that corporate media and politicians are denying. The farm crisis has been ignored to the point of disaster.

Our farming is in crisis and Hillary you can ride with us to sound the alarm. Millions of Americans want to talk about our family farms and our food and the agribusiness experiment with the privatized seeds.

Farmers and citizens are crossing the state of Pennsylvania to put farmers and food on the table for voters and candidates to talk about.

Maybe Hillary is praying that we'll go away, that the farm crisis will be ignored by corporate media, as it has been for more than a decade.

Maybe Paulette Revere only rides when Wall Street has gotten all they can take. Maybe when Hillary talks about every voice being counted she means to add a footnote that says, when they count toward Hillary winning.

It sure isn't my voice Hillary is hearing, nor my issues, or the millions like me who are sounding the alarm about our rights and way of life that are at stake.

From sea to shining sea the cry from farmers and consumers is calling, the question is whether the Paulette Revere spirit will move Hillary to sound the alarm with us.

Hillary's in a tough spot, tucked in the pocket of agribusiness and helping to push the profits for Monsanto and their buddies to the stars as the export losses and consumer costs rise as a result.

Will Hillary ignore the coming crisis relying on a lap dog media to do the same and have a repeat of the economic failure, speaking out only when it is too late?

It doesn't matter much. We the people see how you Washington pros operate and we couldn't do worse if we tried.

You in Washington dreamed up a way to give the worst environmental criminals control of the food. You absolved them of their debt and relieved them of any liability for harm from their products and set them off with a policy of you pollute it and you get paid.

Guess what, they're doing fabulously well. Guess what, the rest of us aren't.

We are dying from toxic policy. We are not pinning our hopes of fixing that, on the very people who profited most from creating it. That tip comes from Einstein, we can use some wisdom from a genius. With the mess they have made we can use all the help we can get!! Ride for Farmers
