I propose we ammend the law that when people are out protesting on the streets, that the government must respond in a high if not the highest priority, including listening to the complaints and adding their complaint to the next election ballot.
This step would restore power to the people.
The ONLY way to change the law is to
PARTICIPATE to change the law.
We must elect people who will represent the people
Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth, Alan Grayson, etc
As long as we prioritize the streets over political action
we will be in the streets
many of us may find the truth disturbing - or, in an OWS context - revolutionary
VOTING is the ONLY way
the TP may be a deluded buch of red neck lemmings
doing what the kochs order them to do - but they succeeded!
Imagine - if you dare -
where we would be, if in 2010,
we elected 50 progressives
in stead of 50 regressives
one should not work for a business they don't want to support
I propose that when you are out protesting you don't smoke a joint in front of angry cops while being interviewed:
"Still, Rogers said he thinks the anniversary has been a success. "This is only year one," he said. "We're like a baby." Just then, Rogers' friend handed him a marijuana cigarette, and two police officers quickly descended. "Put it out, now!" a police officer shouted. "It's out," Rogers replied. "Get me one more time and you're coming with me," the police officer muttered as he walked away. "Now I've got a big 'X' by my name," Rogers said with a sigh as he watched the officers walk away."
Let's try to look a little smarter.
people need a way to get issues on the ballet

You are asking this of a criminal enterprise. The system, as it is controlled right now, could give a shit about what you have to say.
