A Quote by Jesse Ventura

...the priority of the Democrats and Republicans...is to preserve...power when [they have] it, and to gain power when [they do not]. [Their] collective priority...is to make sure that, together, they control the electoral process and under no circumstances allow an independent or third party to infringe on their exclusive franchise.

Jennifer Granholm

Make Money a CENTRAL priority. This has nothing to do with greed and consumption and everything to do with life force and power.

Danielle LaPorte
