Egberto Willies is a political activist, author, political blogger, radio show host, business owner, software developer, web designer, and mechanical engineer in Kingwood, TX. Visit his podcast here. Egberto is an ardent Liberal that believes tolerance is essential. His favorite phrase is "political involvement should be a requirement for citizenship". He believes that we must get away from the current policies that reward those who simply move money/capital and produce nothing tangible for our society. If a change in policy does not occur, America will be no different than many oligarchic societies where a few are able to accumulate wealth while the rest are left out because it is mathematically impossible to catch up.

Trump Effect: Republican Legislator - There Aren't Enough White Kids to Go Around in State Schools (VIDEO) The Trump Effect is still going strong.

A corporate captured Obama is irrelevant to the progressive movement. The problem with incrementalism is that it works in both ways. President Obama's Hope and Change vision began its decline from he entered the Oval Office.

Reaction to France's 9/11 in Paris is dej- vu ISIS has no Air Force. ISIS has no Navy. ISIS has no standing army. They buy weapons from the West. A war is simply a marketing bonanza for weapons manufacturers, who supply both sides as families on all sides are destroyed. Will we allow ourselves to be played again?

Lawrence O'Donnell on Trump: 'Stranded as America's clown on the international stage' I watched the interview between Trump and Macron today and felt a deep sense of embarrassment. But it was not for Trump. Do you know who I really feel for?

I think this Conservative caller to my radio show is a canary in the coal mine. It is clear to me from my experience in my own community, people who stumble onto my radio show Politics Done Right, and from a recently attended Bridge Alliance Conference that the fever is breaking. People yearning for dialogue need a path to spaces.

A message to Bernie supporters, a 2018 win is in your hands For the most part, I've stopped following the machinations of the DNC. It is true that they purged Bernie supporters from senior leadership positions. If one remembers that a party is but a conduit to deliver a payload, that should not matter as long as we have a large percentage of the grassroots.

Joe Biden says he will consider Republican VP. A clear and present danger to the Democratic Party Description: It is clear that Joe Biden does not realize it is 2020 and not 1980.
