Peaceful demonstrations and voicing your opinions is every citizens right. I hope that the police and the media start treating you with the proper respect. I understand and agree with the issues caused by the 1%. I have watched the decline of social justice over the past 25 years and have discussed my concerns during those years with our son who is among you. My views on voting in the polls and in the stores has been consistent over the years, but has shown few results. The 99% have bought into the beliefs of a prosperous future, which frankly is not turning out too well and is getting worse each year. The courts and the politicians have failed to protect individual and social rights. I applaud your ability to gain and hold National attention. Without concrete concerns and viable solutions people will be reluctant to support. If politicians chose to make decisions that would make a difference, what would they fight for and how would they change it? There are many issues to solve, but without honest dialog they won't be properly resolved. Large scale changes will create chaos and likely other hoodlums will move into the power vacuum. Without the right structure and processes in place problems won't get fixed. If there was only opportunity to fix one thing that would start the ball rolling in the right direction, I would recommend changing how political campaigns are funded. I believe politicians should only be publicly funded through tax revenues. This way they work for the 99% and not lobbyist or large donors. No personal or donated funds can be used. Each candidate gets the same level of funds and resources, e.g. free number of USPS stamps for mailings; free TV and radio time (for public use of airways); free use of public facilities for town hall meetings and debates; etc. You get the idea. No political fund raising diners at $1,000 or $35,000 a plate. Therefore, their time isn't wasted on collecting re-election funds, but rather on solving the social issues that they were elected to solve. The political system is broken. It needs to be fixed, not replaced. Start with one demand at a time. Fix one thing at a time. Spend the time to make it right and everything else will fall into place. Thank you for your enthusiasm to want to change the future.
Publicly funded elections are good, but not enough. Many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.
Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.
Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet; it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.
Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.
The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.
Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.
So please JOIN the 2nd link so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for, at exactly the right time, by an e-mail from that group, in support of the above the bank-focused platform. If so, then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the above strategy as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your current Occupation & Generation.
Term limits for senators and congressman is a must
this makes too much sense to come to fruition...
I totally agree with you on changing how political campaigns are funded. In the news today there was a Professor Burgansan(sp) in I believe Boston. He said that we need a constitutional amendment to override the Supreme Court with money in politics. This is suppose to be a way around Citizens United. If it could only be that easy?
I imagine it would take a constitutional amendment
to open our secret ballot system to public scrutiny
