THE RISING: We are not afraid.
They told us to stay, inside the lines. But now we're not afraid.
They implied they'd deftly, take us down. But now we're not afraid.
What they sold us, it didn't, quench our thirst. But now we're not afraid.
What they told us, it didn't, nourish our hearts. But now we're not afraid.
Now we know, and we won't forget. Now we're not afraid.
We have endured, so fear, it drops. Now we're not afraid.
Our hearts can open, in a whole new way. Now that we're not afraid.
Our resolve is new, and our head's held high. Now we're not afraid.
We now, know the fear, was our choice all along. So now we're not afraid.
We emerge from the prison, of our angst. So now we're not afraid.
The sun warms our face, as we, rise up. So now we're not afraid.
A new day's dawning, and we rise with love, because we're not afraid.
My take on this is to vote out of office every senator and congressperson in office. Once politicians see this they will think twice about selling their souls to the corporate devil. Let's get some young, non-politician type men and women in to office and start with a clean slate.
That might work
For the protest to guarantee winning the next election the plan needs to be force the multinationals to buy all their supplies only made by American workers. Prevent any imports from China and known slave states from being unloaded. The 13th amendment abolished slavery. Having slave made goods in America is unconstitutional.
Unions should have their own pay scale. Any workers who don't want to join the union will need to negotiate their own pension, their own wages, their own health care. Workers who refuse to pay dues need to be penalized, not rewarded. Let the scabs get screwed and they might get the message.
End all tax deductions or tax credits and use a sales tax to collect taxes so even criminals will pay their taxes. Eliminate the entire IRS which would save $400 billion annually. The FAIR TAX does this. The Congress hates the FAIR TAX because it eliminates their tax loophole kickbacks for bribes. That's why they misinform the public when they call the FAIR TAX regressive.
To refuse to vote for that platform would be stupid and insane.The privileged keep ripping off all the rest of us and the public is in their propaganda trance allowing that to happen. Any person against this plan is sabotaging the OWS protest and needs to be heard. Let's hear any reason to oppose this end globalization screw job.
Wow, you know how to get shit done!
Freedom is rising like the sun through the morning clouds. (paraphrasing Breytonbach before being sentenced to prison in South Africa for his mon- violent direct action efforts.)
We have the momentum. :)
Rise and shine :)
Can you feel the warmth of the sun?
We are rising.....
I will be the first official OWS candidate to win the next election for the CT 4th district. My platform is described on my blog that I have been writing since 2006. read it http://overthecoals.blogspot.com/
More to come. I will be the Green Party candidate. Please support me and please nominate a Green Party candidate in every USA district.
Invite me to the general assembly to hear my strategy. read my blog http://overthecoals.blogspot.com/
PS - I like that you get up early. And you're also first candidate I've learned of saying you're from OWS. You're an early bird who gets the worm it seems.
This isn't about you; opportunistic ass.
What's it about? How to keep eating shit, whining, and sitting in the park holding a sign?
You miss the point, gangster of love; this guy is trying to use the movement to advance his personal delusions of being elected to public office. Of course, he has a better chance of jumping across the Atlantic Ocean than he does of getting on a ballot (much less winning an election). I'm just annoyed by all the kids feigning 'social consciousness' when they're really just trying to promote themselves.
I keep missing the point. Sorry you're annoyed.
Oh, why thank you.
If you fail to see this, I quit.
Lunacy has engulfed all Americans
Every American person who demands believing complete nonsense is in a trance that makes lunacy look mild. To not want to know that George Bush was warned more than 40 times for months before 9/11 and then FBI Director Tom Pickard jumped into Attorney General Ashcroft’s face on July 12, 2001 in Ashcroft’s office in front of many people proves beyond any doubt that Bush ordered the spectacular collapse after the Arabs’ plane hit. This is unquestionable that there are many witnesses who would be crazy to lie about what Shennon wrote and published because Ashcroft told Pickard that he didn’t want to know anything about having a terrorist attack proves they planted the explosives way before 9/11.
Nobody but Bush and his creep friends did it. Nobody on earth who could order the 9/11 crime to start the Iraq war but the only person who demanded we attack Iraq was Bush and Cheney. This is red meat for OWS but they are liberal wimps afraid to blow the whistle now that the cameras are on. First we need to go directly to NYPD headquarters demanding a meeting with the NYPD Counter terrorist command about this evidence.
For any person on earth to not want to know that Bush did that is beyond moronic. Since all people aren’t stupid, the fact can only be that they are in a brainwashed trance.
The OWS people should be using this incredible situation to be specific about Bush and all creep fiend, screwball friends who would be part of this. The fact that the OWS people are protecting Bush proves they all must be in a trance.
Do you think the term "Occupy Wall Street" candidate is best way to phrase it or "first candidate from the 99%? Or some other term?
Gee, I don't know. Give me your advice.
I will read your information. Thanks.
