i'd like to see 10 a) include eliminating the electoral college, please. ooo, and what about getting rid of the federal reserve?
Here's my wish list.
Campaign finance reform ~ everyone gets the same amount of money for their campaign and none of it can come from corporations or lobbyists. No ads, only debates. Everyone gets a website that they can put whatever they want on as long as it's true and they must fill out the NPAT at vote smart or somewhere equivalent.
All investments and media relationships must be exposed for the voters.
Instant run off voting! So we can finally get a third and fourth party involved... this would stop the "your wasting your vote!" folks in their tracks.
We only need one thing right now, then the rest will fall inline.
Eliminate lobbying!
Get money out of Politics, we need the most qualified not the ones with the most lobby money!
Politicians need to be there representing everybody equally, not the lobbyists agendas!
Dear Michael,
As registered supporters of the OWS movement with it's International counterparts, and as long time fans of Michael Moore, Mimsey and i read, with interest, the agreed 'vision statement' from the meeting and your proposed goals to be subsequently presented to their General Assembly. We are pleased with the principles established at the meeting and, as requested, offer here our comments and suggestions on the goals, as follows:
Items 1 through 5 address the initial equality principle of the OWS movement, and as such are appropriate and in direct support this principle - no further comment is necessary, here.
Items 6 through 10 address issues that, as far as we know, are new to OWS and would possibly, while worthy causes, be too ambitious for them to take-on, at this point in time. They would all require the action of a, separate but parallel, strong political entity and, especially item 10, would require a good deal of time and effort to accomplish.
This brings us to the final wish: We desperately need the choice, at the ballot box, for high ranking leaders of our Administrations, Legislative and Judicial bodies in this Country - a new political party - to carry-out the Movement's principles and goals. This, of coarse, can not be done overnight but a good start would be to come-up with a good, strong, respected candidate for President, such as yourself. How about it, Michael?! Let's do it.
Best wishes to you and to OWS,
Christine (Mimsica) Taylor Charles (C Wil) Philp
10 things Michael Moore wants. Who cares what he wants, good or bad. This is not a movement of, by and for celebrities.
Hey you tards, Michael Moore would not even show up if it was not for the free food and doughnuts. He could give a rats ass about you losers, and he is only doing it for the publicity
DEMAND 2: A Jenny Craig catalog sent to his address, on the hour, every hour
How about Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon and the rest of the people that promoted NObama piss off. They obviously have zero judgement.
DEMAND 1: Michael Moore to stop co Opting this movement!
