I am reading The Secret History of the American Empire. The author, John Perkins has a blog that I recently found. With quite a bit of interesting topics about our economy.

While surfing his site I found this interesting article about taking action to fixing our economy. Within the post there is a couple of links to additional posts that are very good as well. Discussing our elected officials and how WE the people can make a change.
