the only thing that matters right now is CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM, unless you get the big money out of politics, no change whatsoever will occur, this should be the focus of the protests, we need to have honest politicians that work for the public before any thing else can get done, campaign finance reform (ending corporate personhood, kicking the lobbyists out of the Washington) is the perfect starting point. It really is a no brainer that this should be the one thing we can all agree on. Because unless we do this, all those other demands that people have will never be addressed, not in a millions years.

Tax the rich. Feed the poor. 'Til there are no rich no more. Not original, but appropriate.

One person said at the end of their comment said, "We are the 99", that works.

[-] 1 points by nVenti (48) 13 years ago

Man (and women) in his natural state has no wealth or poverty.

Wealth is a creation of civilization, and the property of that civilization. To tax the top is to maintain the Hamiltonian balance of that civilization. To do otherwise is to submit to arbitrary dominion.

CHECK TO POWER, TAX THE TOP

Rally around campaign finance reform. It is the real issue.

"United we Stand, divided we fall. This is a movement for us All"

[-] 1 points by mwagshol (120) from Seattle, WA 13 years ago

And to those of you saying this movement has no message it's because you merely have to be willing to open your eyes to see it- This is not Left vs Right political, this is about ending the open and 'legal' corruption and collusion with our elected public officials by the monied special interests.

What are your ideas on how to begin to stop this crime?

[-] 1 points by pozdnychev (36) 13 years ago

You need to vote for your slogan (why not on the internet ?). This movement will have to organize in some way to present common slogans, ideas and propositions. You will have to all speak with one voice. Even if America is not a democracy, your movement will have to look democratic (or at least fair) in some way.

Fear not . .we got your back

[-] 1 points by twisted (110) 13 years ago

Its a matter of perspective

in a protest . .you may choose if you wish to hear what the protester is bitching about . .you may choose not to

very much like the main stream media thinks we are a bunch of twits and you may come back with an empty slogan

In a revolution

you win or you lose

if you win things change and you can make them the way you like

if you lose bad shit happens

a

protester is a revolutionary who thinks somebody is going to listen and things are going to change

[-] 1 points by twisted (110) 13 years ago

Now I do appreciate a good conversation but I'm not really in the mood for

  1. Financial Goobly Gook that going to cost me more money and I don;t get nothing back for it
  2. Legal bibble babble the explains to me why my foot shouldn't be half way up somebody's ass
  3. Political dribble drabble that justifies me and my family being denied our basic rights and my country being hijacked

If you ask me . .I'm in the mood for a good ole fashioned hoedown

lets load these crooks onto a rail road track, tar and feather their ass and roll them out dodge

our strength is in being unreasonable and uncivilized and uncontrolable

this ain't a protest

Democracy is a sham, you want a slogan bring democracy down, does your vote count for anything?... does your right to protest do anything? does your freedom of speach get heard by anyone?... democracy is dead, democracy stinks, democracry is fascism in another dress......

Everything you protesting about is because the democracy your fighting for dosen't exsist. Call for the game to be stopped and the real players to fess up and be counted.

How about the Pledge of Allegiance! It says it all..our founding fathers built a government that is for the People! a republic! NOT a democracy. I see this word flying around all over the place..and its not your fault. "they changed our history lessons to teach that this is a great world of democracy. NOT SO! I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, one REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, for liberty and justice for all!!!!!!!

You know in your heart that you are right. A majority of us may not really understand what has been done to make us feel cheated , betrayed and defrauded. there is a mountain of information, facts figures, charts, graphs that proves it. Forget it . . .

You are right . .just lock it down . .don't argue about, don't don;t get confused by it.

The people who should have been looking out for us, sold us out, there are 19 Million Americans unemployed and 45 million on Food stamps.

Breaking up the Fed will fix it

TEAR DOWN THE WALL

[-] 1 points by GriebKyle (5) from Burlington, WI 13 years ago

I am a slave, give me a Job!

Corporate concession, not Constitutional Retention!

Employment, not Sovereignty.

Choice of Product. (over) Product of Choice.

Vocation, not Vacation.

Profession, not Progression.

-- We have the technical capability to surpass the need for human provided manufacturing. Jobs should be limited to those that actually provide desirable qualities for society, not everyone should or needs to have employment; only those who have knowledge and have developed their skills should provide a desired facility for others within the context of social compassion. Why do we entertain the impression that most of the products produced are necessary or even desired?

Liberation through Dictation.

Political suppression via Indoctrination.

Government, not Collaboration!

Bureaucracy, not technicality.

Domination & Oppression, we demand it.

-- Government provides the facility for a society in which its occupiers lack the necessary confidence and harmony to provide and govern themselves independently. Government's only functionality is to impose restriction and definition through regulation and legislation. People being socially responsible through comprehensible collaboration is not what our interpretation of government means. Either adequately define the term 'Government' with relevant terminology and specific functionality, or disregard the concept entirely. Always remember, technical problems are only resolved through technical solutions.

what are we fighting for? well here is the way I see it

The truth is that in the background the financial sector is running our lives, the government, what we can or cant do, what is socially politically acceptable or not even wars, 130K soldiers in Afghanistan is a 130k pairs of boots, 260k socks and 260k laces and as such a business . .son on and so forth.

The state of our country, the piling up of wealth and opportunity and the class difference is something that should be a mechanic of the Free Market.

But its not anymore, The big banks and investors now have the power to take everything we have and everything we have worked for, trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars, just because they feel like, by creating artificial crisises and economic events that have nothing to with reality, you or me and which leaves you and me struggling day to day living hand to mouth with no chance to beat the system.

How to stop it?

  1. The Enemy: The Nexus of corrupt banking/financial and political leaders, The Fed
  2. The Tactical Objective: Disrupt, disturb, gain attention and support
  3. The Strategic Objective: Break up the Fed or return Legislative control to the political Arm of government

How to achieve these objectives focus on 2.

Its working . . .they are actually terrified
