NO, YOU CAN'T -- NO SE PUEDE.
Status quo is Latin for scandal, recession, Bush, McCain, global warming, children without healthcare, young men and women dying in Iraq for 100 years, and tax cuts for the super-rich while we rack up trillion dollar deficits. If you prefer more of the same, please stick with the Grand Ol' Party. If you want hope and change, there's that other guy running for president...
We made "No, You Can't" as a part parody/part homage (or "parage," if you will :-) ), to the original piece by will.i.am. We're inspired by the movement that Obama has set in motion, and wanted to poke fun at the entrenched interests and cynics who'll be pushing back harder and harder against us as our movement grows stronger.
Members of the power elite featured in this video include: Dick Cheney, Filmore Barrols, Ivy League-Legacy, Jen Trification, D. Forrest Callee, Monet Oliver de Place, Winsome Mandate, and Lily the Dog.

NO YOU CAN'T—NO SE PUEDE
...It was a creed, snuck into the founding documents that denied the destiny of a nation.
No, you can't.
It was decreed by bankers and landowners as they marched our monopolies westward.
No, you can't.
No you can't stop our power and privilege.
No you can't repeal our tax cuts for the wealthy few.
No you can't heal this nation.
No you can't end the war.
No you can't.
No matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of our power keeping us in power.
Status quo.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a private school in Newport are the same as the dreams of the boy who parties in the clubs of LA.
We are not as divided as our portfolios suggest. We run this nation, and together we will stop this nonsense about writing the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --
No. You. Can't.
VOTE GOP?
