This document is made by people like you and me who are in anonymity every day,
but they have faces.
People from their personal freedom, individual responsibility and particular ideology,
they want to talk aloud.
All have one thing in common: They want their words are heard.
Heard by you.
I want.
I do not want anybody to lead my life, I want to reach the end of the month without dying trying,...
stop being the stooge of politicians and bankers.
I want more libraries and parks.
I want the state to provide a safe future for my children.
I want everybody to fight for their rights

...and that everybody has equal opportunities.

...and equality to others once and for all.

but not on the Money I need everyday.
I want us to truly believe that things can change.
I want the politicians to stop lying
and make us support them in order to waste money on profitable wars.
I want the greedy human activity to cease generating...
...an ecological instability.
I want them to stop telling us lies...
I want that those who caused the economic crisis, look for solutions;
I do not want them to use us; I want them to listen to us;
I want them to stop blaming each other; I want them to get involved;
I want them to focus rather on the people’s needs than paying attention to what the foreign politicians say.

and those responsible for it will not be elegible for the elections;
I want the government to protect rather the citizen’s interests...
...than the bank and multinational companies’ ones;
I do not want us to be the victims of the economic crisis; I want the responsible for the crisis...
...to be found and caught, and steps to be taken in order to avoid another crisis like this one.
also want the Spanish Labor Market to be deeply...
...and seriously reformed so the workers’ dignity will be respected.

I want my voice to be heard.
I want the young people to stop being worried about what future may bring.
I want the media to inform me truthfully.

...and relying on contacts to hire people;

to be well prepared and clever.
They should stop being so ambitious because they are just sinking our country into misery.
I do not want to feel angry when I watch in TV the members of the Congress debating

and benefits to be examined whether they work in a city hall...

we could create a good social security system for everybody and improve the education,...
...increase the employment creation and even help unemployed people.
I want the right-wing politics from this country stop to bring out the worst in me.
I do not want the election lists to be full of candidates who break the law.
