We are open to all ideas.

We are the ideas.

We have no leader.

We are the leaders.

We stand united.

We stand as a voice of the people.

We hope for a constitutional government.

We hope for a sustainable economy.

We hope you will join us if you have similar interests.

you don't hope for things for happen, you make it happen.

[-] 1 points by Poplicola (125) from Jersey City, NJ 13 years ago

We hope that we can make it happen.

[-] 1 points by jdragonlee (119) 13 years ago

then how are you gonna do it? by just sitting there?

[-] 1 points by Poplicola (125) from Jersey City, NJ 13 years ago

Non-violent protest.

[-] 1 points by jdragonlee (119) 13 years ago

does it also have to be a silent protest? Nothing is gonna happen this way. Why do not you tell people what you want? You want everything? then you wont' get anything.

I'm sorry...you must be watching mainstream media? We are very open about what we want....

This is a good representation of what I'd like to get accomplished, asides from the Ron Paul 2012 part. I'm not sure who I'd like to see in office, but it's surely not him. He's got a good understanding of constitutionality but doesn't have a clear understanding of the public opinion.

i don't have time watching TV. It matters that who is in the office But we need more concrete and specific things to achieve. or this protest is gonna be nothing but a joke.

  1. End the Federal Reserve Board.
  2. Outlaw lobbyists.
  3. Impeach the current government and re-elect.
  4. Develop a sustainable economy.

Restore tax rate on high income people!

[-] 1 points by jdragonlee (119) 13 years ago

Exempt payroll taxes on low income people!

[-] 1 points by jdragonlee (119) 13 years ago

We are here to take America back from greedy top 1%. Then #1 claim should be to restore the tax rate on high income under Bill Clinton. #2 Exempt first $20K of income from payroll taxes ( so middle-class has more money to spend and in turn restart the economy!).

I say our common claim is campaign finance reform.

You're dreaming. If you don't know what the relevant claims are, ask the !%. They designed them.
