Would You Occupy?

[The Rev]

Thank you.

Don't forget what is probably the most important aspect: Ending corporate political contributions and lobbying.

And I'd add to that their "personhood", which supposedly gives them civil rights and the right to run for political office. I still can't get over that.

OK, gave it a shot.  Same format.

This is not Democracy

In a democracy the rule is one vote per citizen.

In a corporation it's one vote per share.

Do you know what it takes to get shares?

Nothing but money.

In America corporate interests and political action committees have more influence over your government than you do; this is because they have used more money then you will ever hope to see in your lifetime to buy more shares of our politicians.

Fuck.

That.

Shit.

We need to rein in corporate spending as it pertains to our political system.

Instead of politicians kowtowing to their corporate masters.

Instead of passing laws written by the groups they are meant to regulate.

Instead of selling our natural resources, environment, and well being to the highest bidder.

Our leaders should be working in our best interest; the loss of our support and our votes should be what they fear, not the loss of their corporate sponsorship.

I don't think he'll run against our current president, Goldman Sachs.

Good point.

I started a "Restore Democracy" page; please join, and invite your friends! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Restore-Democracy/145255382239667

PopeTom, I altered your manifesto very slightly for the Restore Democracy page; I just removed "fuck that shit" because I don't want to alienate anyone. I hope you don't mind.

I am aware that some people don't find swearing nearly as FUCKING AWESOME as I do.

I'm finding that just attending some of the marches at an Occupy is taking a Shit ton of my time.

Also-I'm starting to think it odd. (not sure-just am)

If it does Indeed go Global, that may sway me one way or the other.

Although, I completely agree with the "End corporate personhood." Will definitely spread the word about the "Restore Democracy" FB page.

But as a whole-I think we're all fucked. Too many sides to a coin.
Just my perspective at the moment.

Yeah, it seems that way, unless we can get enough discontent people to leave their houses.

At the very least it frightens Teabaggers.

Not that frightening a Teabagger is exactly difficult. But the pee stain on the front of the pants is a little bigger and more noticeable.

The movement needs defined leaders to unify it.
