Welcome to ANSWR

The first thing I will be doing is laying out a manifesto of what this blog is going to be about. The aim of ANSWR is to bring about discussion mainly among college students who want change for America. ANSWR is for those who no longer want politics as usual in Washington. For too long we have seen corporate money and influence steer our country to the brink of destruction. We have seen corporate owned media distort facts and rubber stamp illegal wars to fatten their bottom lines. We have seen our country attacked, and then had that attack turned around as a pretext for setting flame to the constitution. I am starting this blog because I believe that we are at a tipping point and that the future of our country lies in our hands. The last few years have proven that greed in Washington is ruining America, that the Aristocracy in power cares more for their millions than for the well being of the people they serve. It is time to bring this time to an end.

Why Should You Care?
As college students we should take great interest in the political events of today because they will effect our lives most acutely, and secondarily the lives of our children. Those in power currently will be gone before the lasting effects of their policies take effect. We must speak out now to make a real lasting difference.

Is this a Left Wing blog?
Personally, my political views lie somewhere between libertarianism and democratic-socialism, I myself am a bit left of center and this blog will probably reflect this but I do welcome educated view from the center and the right.

What will this blog contain?
This blog will have posts of political news, opinion, links and video related to the cause of social and political change. I will try my best to find opportunities for you to get involved. We can sit on our computers and write about our goals but it takes some real world action so make a true difference.
