Where are the protest marches for your rights?


First thing first-the picture I posted with this rant is from the comic book Captain America. It's the writer & penciler reflecting real life when the Tea Part/GOP where out in the streets. Well, now let get to the second thing. The GOP/Tea Part took over most state governments... did you know that they are out to take away your right to join a union-so you can't have better pay-take away the right to voting-make it harder for college students to vote-take away the right to free speech-by defunding NPR-take away right to have local government-where a GOP Governor can put in place a single person to deactivate local cities of their Mayors or elected officials-take away the right to freedom of religion-if you are not of their faith, your against GOD-take away the rights of women-defund plan parenthood or strike down pro choice. Is this what its about these day? Where are the protest marches in the streets like in the Middle East? Where are the young college students protest marches in the street against of the GOP/Tea Party taking away your right to vote? (a nation of young; who die in Vietnam; for you to have the right to vote) Where are the elderly protest marches in the street against the cuts to Social Security or Medicare? Where are the workers protest marches against the GOP/Tea Party that won't let you have a union for better pay or sending jobs overseas? (other than in Wisconsin) Where are the protest marches in the street against the GOP/Tea Party for taking away women's rights? Where are the protest marches in the street against GOP/Tea Party for striking down local Mayors or elected officials because they won't get inline with GOP Governors? Where are the protest marches in the street against GOP/Tea Party backing the BIG BANK OR WALL STREET that through you out of your house illegally or stripped you of your retirement pensions or 401k? Where are the protest marches in the street that brought so much to our country? Like the protest march in Salma, Alabama for Civil Rights. The protest marches against Vietnam to stop a war that was wrong. The protest marches in Washington DC for Women's Rights for equal pay and pro choice. The protest marches for Gay Rights in San Francisco. The protest marches of  Cesar Chavez, the rights for Farm Workers. Everything that I have stated has been done through peaceful marches. The Middle East has taken a page out of our playbook (history books). There are a few of us who remember and are marching for their rights. What are you going to do when your bubble breaks and everything comes crashing down? 
The song by Buffalo Springfield-'For What It Worth', how true that this song reflects what has happened in past is happening now.
