Michael Moore's Action Plan: 15 Things Every American Can Do Right Now

By Michael Moore, MichaelMoore.com. Posted October 22, 2009.

FIVE THINGS WE DEMAND THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS DO IMMEDIATELY:

1. Declare a moratorium on all home evictions.

2. Congress must join the civilized world and expand Medicare For All Americans.

3. Demand publicly-funded elections and a prohibition on elected officials leaving office and becoming lobbyists.

4. Each of the 50 states must create a state-owned public bank like they have in North Dakota

5. Save this fragile planet and declare that all the energy resources above and beneath the ground are owned collectively by all of us

FIVE THINGS WE CAN DO TO MAKE CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT LISTEN TO US:

1. Each of us must get into the daily habit of taking 5 minutes to make four brief calls: One to the President (202-456-1414), one to your Congressperson (202-224-3121) and one to each of your two Senators (202-224-3121).

2. Take over your local Democratic Party.

3. Recruit someone to run for office who can win in your local elections next year -- or, better yet, consider running for office yourself!

4. Show up. Picket the local branch of a big bank that took the bailout money.

5. Start your own media. You. Just you (or you and a couple friends). The mainstream media is owned by corporate America and, with few exceptions, it will never tell the whole truth -- so you have to do it! Start a blog!


FIVE THINGS WE SHOULD DO TO PROTECT OURSELVES AND OUR LOVED ONES UNTIL WE GET THROUGH THIS MESS:

1. Take your money out of your bank if it took bailout money and place it in a locally-owned bank or, preferably, a credit union.

2. Get rid of all your credit cards but one -- the kind where you have to pay up at the end of the month or you lose your card

.3. Do not invest in the stock market.

4. Unionize your workplace so that you and your coworkers have a say in how your business is run. Here's how to do it (more info here).

5. Take care of yourself and your family. Sorry to go all Oprah on you, but she's right: Find a place of peace in your life and make the choice to be around people who are not full of negativity and cynicism.


C'mon people -- we can do this! I expect nothing less of all of you, my true and trusted fellow travelers! Michael Moore
