Join in and support Occupy Dallas' call for a General Strike beginning Nov 30. We all need to help coordinate a nationwide oreven a worldwide General Strike that will shut the system down. Don't shop, work or drive a vehicle beginning on Nov 30. Even a few days of such a coordinated strike would back the pipelines, tankers and container ships up in every port in the world. We need to take this Occupy Movement to the next level or the movement will eventually fade to oblivion.

Yes, I am so proud of you, people in Dallas! Never thought a red state will be the 2nd state calling general strike! :-) I am so impressed by my Oaklanders who kicked off the general strike movement. Now I wish the best to Dallas! (And which state is the 3rd one, I wonder?)

"Your call for a strike is a call for economic hardship for millions around the world."

For your information, millions around the world are already suffering economic hardship under the current inequitable system that imposes dictatorial regimes on them and sucks the resources from the ground beneath their feet for Banksters and their business entities. Your selfish privileged lifestyle is the result of their suffering.

A national general strike would send a strong message to the 1%.

I thought Texas had already seceded? Mr. Perry will probably want to waterboard you.

If my daughter instructors did not show up for classes I would sue them in a heartbeat.

She has worked hard to pay for that and is doing a remarkable job. Trying to such down her education is pathetic.

I do not think the Dallas camp will be there for much longer. Not with the new convention hotel opening.

The group in Dallas is better since the convicted sex offender and 14 year old runaway were removed and the kids that one upstanding couple had were taken away from them.

Time to go home I think. Your call for a strike is a call for economic hardship for millions around the world. Not that the world gives a crap what Dallas thinks.

You want to get some cred, go occupy Oak Cliff. Dare you all to do some camping down there.
