PLEASE LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND.
The government answers to corporations, interest groups backed by the 1%. That's who they make policy for.
Everything we've done so far to make the democratic process accessible over the course of our country's history has been undermined.
We can't address the wealth disparity with a government that facilitated it because 99% of Americans have no say in government policy.
Banking reform, tax reform, healthcare reform.. are UNATTAINABLE because every line of every bill passed has been AUCTIONED OFF!
Corporate person hood is the one and only obstacle to getting things done. Getting rid of it will be the window to changing America.
Why don't representatives vote for things a majority of the constituents want? Joke is on us because we're not the real constituents.
We (the people) alone should fund candidates so they answer to us!
OF the people. BY the people. FOR the people. Corporations are NOT people.
Exactly!!!!! See my comment "Our Agenda"
"We (the people) alone should fund candidates so they answer to us!" - Then you are trading one entity buying votes for another. Votes should not be bought or sold. Politicians are SERVANTS but we let them get wealthier than their masters. Politicians need to be put in their place and forced to serve their people or get impeached/ tried for treason.
If you go against your country it is treason isnt it? We are the country. Thus going against us is in fact treason.
Politicians need to become public servants again and the only thing they should be voting for is what a majority of their constituents want.
Here is my suggestion to achieve just that: http://occupier777.angelfire.com/
Demand # 2,4,5 specifically. Something like this needs to take place.
