OWS Movement,
You have to stop Washington lobbying (legal bribes) to politicians. The politicians will then have to serve the people equally and not the people and/or corporations with most money to spend to get their way. This is the real culprit in Wall Street and so many other Businesses (Oil, Natural Gas, etc.) that affect the quality of life for every American and as a result the global population. If you accomplish just one thing from this movement I hope that it is the elimination of lobbying. You will then have every sensible American on your side. The ones that remain opposed will clearly stand out as the greedy selfish culprits that they are. The governemnt should Serve the People, Not the Money.
OWS has a great thing going, it is unconventional but appropriate, and it that can change things in this country and possibly the world. The one issue that you have is your message is not always clear and focused. If you clarify you can get more people on your side.
Good Luck OWS.
I agree! See my post, "Get direction or get lost!".
Boycott Lobbyist! I Love It! Or Boycott the Corporations they work for!! How About Start with the biggest and baddest first? THE KOCH BROTHERS!!!!! Hurt them by not buying their products!!!
I totally agreed with u but not with the bickering caused by the trolls.
Lobbying is institutionalised corruption. Money for candidates has to come from the people, from taxes, not from private corporations nor individuals. There will be no democracy but corruptocracy until this is so.
