Change.

The time has come for the sleeping generation to awake.

The Baby-Boomers were betrayed by their rock stars and reconstructed by their enemies.

They have put their idealism and their activism to sleep.

They are diverted and distracted.

Holidays, sports, tickets, shopping, watching, listening, following.....

These things divert them from their purpose.

But since Socialism became a dirty word they are too scared to assert their political vision.

They have been blamed and shamed.

But the time has come to rise from the ashes and recreate the idealism of the 1960s.

Peace and love and the redistribution of wealth are dormant objectives that can be resurrected.

With the demise of the Religious Right in America and the rise of the politically aware Millennials the atmosphere is ripe for a resurgence of left-wing ideals.

The Baby-Boomers can step into the power vacuum and set the world on a different course.

The result of the conservative counter-revolution conspired by Ronald Reagan and Generation X is a world that is brutal, corrupt, dark, unjust, hard, cold, indifferent, deceitful, and evil.

We have had enough.

And we hope that the new direction will deliver us from war and inequality.
