OWS is not anticorporation and anti-banks. It is against corporations that abuse their power and are infiltrating our government. It is against the abuse of the monetary system that the federal reserve is responsible for. We have a debt based privatized monetary system that is not in the constitution. The abuse of Wall Street, the federal reserve, and the government has caused our US dollar to decrease in value drastically over the past 14 years.
Propose a bill to end the patriot act.
Propose a bill to end massive contributions from lobbyists, unions, and corporate influences. The "supreme" court ruled McCain-Feingold unconstitutional. Obviously the supreme court is corrupt. They claimed that "McCain-Feingold" denied "free speech" even though 1: Money isn't free and 2: 100% of US citizens still would have had freedom of speech and the ability to contribute to campaigns. So how was the supreme court able to say it suppresses free speech? Another fact, a lot of corporations are owned through many investors. Sometimes these investors are foreigners. I didn't know foreigners in other countries were allowed to participate in our government. The government is supposed to be governed by it's people. I feel like most members of the government have never read the constitution.
I'd say propose a bill to nationalize the federal reserve but that bill has already been created and is being reviewed by the Financial Institutions and Credit Committee. Look up The National Emergency Employment Defense Act of 2011.
All these rich people keep telling us that our country is in massive debt... all the while they keep making more money. These rich people are members of congress and the president.
"Both parties are rotten - how could they not be, given the complete infestation of the political system by corporate money on a scale that now requires a presidential candidate to raise upwards of a billion dollars to be competitive in the general election?"
THE WAR IN IRAQ IS BASED ON LIES from Bush to Obama it's still the same war monger.
You speak TRUTH as I know it to be. I support this. The PIC are riddled with corruption and stupidity in spite of their best lies to the otherwise. They need a real vacation! We need a REAL governing ability, not a Corporate Military Consumer Nazi Cult so obcessed with a FRAGMENT of reality (their view) that law means nothing, and humanity, not much, and compassion? Turning cheeks? Forgiveness? Do no harm? VIRTUE is the human nature. Please be real. Violence is an ILLNESS, and the Patriot Act is right out of NAZI Germany in "new clothes" and it is NOT about no harm, or compassion. The FED RESERVE is a criminal conspiracy from day one. Again, greed-fear corruption is the root. This is a LOW LEVEL of consciousness, folks, Strive to be MORE conscious. Start with the legal fact that corporations are NOT individual people. That LIE must evaporate. It is nasty National State Socialism of the all for the few at the expense of the many, who are murdered for speaking out on such a stupidity, which is NOT the WAY of G*D-liness, or our Savior, or Buddha, or Mohammad, it is the THUG m.o. of puny souls sound asleep, and wed to the sickness of violence and profit instead of honoring their heart, which is shut like a brick. Enough. Write these new laws. And arrest the criminals who did the deeds.
I applaud you, "TrevorMnemonic".
"Obviously the supreme court is corrupt." THAT is why the whole system must be OVERHAULED. I don't think PIECEMEAL REFORM can succeed, because the whole apple is rotten to the core and must be thrown in the garbage.
WE THE PEOPLE rule and if we are consulted in a NATION-WIDE REFERENDUM, I believe we will vote massively in favor of a general overhaul of the whole political sytem. The 2012 election is USELESS, a total waste of time, a farce. Let's have a meaningful referendum instead and give America a chance to BEGIN ANEW.
