    • As this movement grows, even the fickle Democrats will begin to consider support.(They will, of course, weigh out the lost corporation campaign donations against the gain in popular votes.) Until we come up with a viable third party that represents the working class, (if that ever happens), we will always get the short end of the stick anyway. It seems that right now, and probably into the future, protest will be the only way to get heard. As far as Boehner's lobbyists go, who cares what they do or think. They get no respect from inside the progressive community anyway. http://sibob.org/wordpress/

    • The OWS movement does not need pandering from politicians. The banks can attack whoever they want in the political spectrum. Most OWSers see both parties as the enemy already and will not be impacted by any backlash from pols fueled by the banksters. Any Dem who cowtows to Wall Street will suffer the same consequences as the Rep whores.

    • Chris Hays is very good at cutting through the Bullshit and getting to the facts. Too bad current couldnt get him, I think he and Cenk would be good back to back.

      Everyone,copy this link and spread it far and wide.
      The Congressional Reform Act needs to be talked about in every home in America.
      Thank you Mauricelacunza for the link. I'm going to make paper copies of the CRA and hand them out to all my political opposite relatives this holiday season. I believe this could get through and break the fake news bubble.

    • If you want to have some fun, next time someone suggests that "enough is enough" when it comes to OWS & the duration of the First Amendment's "right of the people peaceably to assemble . . . and to petition the government for a redress of grievances", ask them when "enough is enough" duration for the Second Amendment's protection allowing them to own firearms. Many look confused, as if perhaps they are actually thinking!

    • the 1% is just giving their lackeys something to do...they know Dem or GOP out of the next election won't overly impact their plans and or goals. Occupy has the potential to do just that and they know that too. Are they scared? Not yet...they still make the rules we still chose to play by and as long as they can keep us thinking we must abide by their restrictions they will maintain the making of decisions. They want us to kill the banks down to one...that is part of the game plan. Remember the core of Occupy is about people and planet, and right action for all NOT MONEY...don't let them tell us what it is all about...they can't conceive of compassion and consideration as a way of life.

    • We got a letter today from a company 'contracted' by the company that contracted with the VA to provide rehab services for my husband this last summer for $500 for LESS than $50 worth of insulin while he was in their facility. They want their $500 and they want it YESTERDAY! I called them back 2day and told them we have no discernible income and THEY CAN'T GET BLOOD FROM A TURNIP!

      So how much are you willing to bet they're more than willing to try? Whatever the fuck it was Obama was pushing 2 years ago ... I needed it 6 FUCKING MONTHS AGO!

      PWR 2 ALL US PEONS! And so fucking dismember the oligarchs and their political whores (most especially including OBAMA)!

      If you had Universal Health care like Oboma was trying to give you. Like we have in Canada. Like every other Democratic country has, you would not have been expected to pay a dime for your insulin. The only citizens of a country in the west who do not like the idea of single payer health care (Universal Health Care) are Americans. The only people who have never had it. In April of 2004, Canadians were asked to decide who was the greatest Canadian of all time. We took more time on this decision than we take on our federal elections. Some of the finalists were, coincidentally, Sir Fredrick Banting, the co-discoverer of insulin, Alexander Graham Bell, (yes, he was a Canadian), Sir John A. Macdonold, our first Prime Minister, David Suzuki, a world famous environmentalist and Wayne Gretzky (I never liked the idea Wayne made the list with these other people). But Canadians overwhelmingly chose Tommy Douglas, the man who gave us our Universal Health Care. Funny how some Americans vilify the man who tried to do the same for you.

      I know, that's the thing that makes me the angriest! I voted for Clinton to get universal healthcare ... and all I got was a blow job in the oval office >:-)! So along comes Obama with that same worn-out promise and I FELL FOR IT AGAIN! I'm surrounded by reptards that think single-payer is a bad thing, and all I want is a chance to judge for myself b/c it's for damned sure what we've got in this country right now sucks the big one!

      The thing is I sent them $50 (which is what the VA pays for Mike's insulin) and told them I honestly could not send them anymore than that. I sent it in a cashier's check/return-receipt requested with a letter noting that their signature for the letter constituted their agreement to the $50 as payment in full. It made the original company mad, but if this company that they engaged wants anything more they will have no choice but accept $1 a month until the bill is paid off!

      As it should be wolfess, they cannot say you are not paying when you are making an effort... Save all your receipts ie, check stubs... They can do nothing to you if you are making an effort to pay... Nor can they hold it against you on your credit rating... It sometimes seems that all is lost, but that is just how they make You Feel, Hang in there and fight the good fight....

      I don't understand that either, I am lucky enough to have great insurance and Medicare, so it doesn't effect me, but the people that need it are against Obama. Everyone needs free healthcare, without it you will lose everything that you own if you get sick. People are not using their brains.

      As I have said many times now, your biggest problem is the fact that your media can lie to you. Many of your citizens, I think, are not aware of this. I don't know how many times I've heard the talking heads over at Fox News say "I couldn't say it if it wasn't true". The fact is they couldn't say it if it was true. Roger Ailes would fire their ass.

    • This tells us how truly evil and manipulative the right has become. The Occupy movement is only going to get stronger. Maybe Americans can vote the Republican Party "right" out of existence. Imagine that. Universal health care. Just like the real democracies have. Truth in broadcasting. Proper taxation of the rich. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. said "Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society". If the Republicans keep cutting taxes for the rich, what kind of society do they want? Obviously not a democracy. If you take a Plutocracy (to rule by wealth) and an Oligarchy (a form of government in which all power is in the hands of the few) and combine them, you get a Plutarchy. Yes it's a real word, and the Republicans have been working toward this since Reagan. What would you call a social structure were corporations are people, and money is free speech, but people are not people, and have no right to free speech, or to gather? Or to gather and speak? The O.W.S. movement puts the years of Republican effort to create this Plutarchy at risk. The longer the Occupy movement continues, the more desperate, manipulative, dishonest, evil and murderous the right will become. Be careful America. One of these days the Plutarchs are going to open fire on an innocent group of men, women, and children. And they will not care who is watching. Mark my words.

      It's becoming more obvious daily that the present GOP, (no relation at all to Ike's republican party), is trying to foment another "civil war" so they can reinstate slavery. They're going to get one helluva war, and they won't be able to hide or "eat cake". Phuquemall!

      They are scared because they are asked to choose between their jobs and what is right. Every Federal employee must sign a document that says they will defend the Constitution. They are in a very difficult situation. Do what pays the bills or do what they know is right.

    • Someone here asked me what I make of this.

      Combine this with the war crimes happening on California university campuses, and what I get is the 1% is crapping their fancy pants.

      Oh, and BOYCOTT CALIFORNIA! Tell them why. If America can thump AZ hard for 'papers please' profiling law, we best be letting the top dogs in California know we won't put up with these rampant assaults of peaceful demonstrators!

    • This is excellent news. Apparently the movement has progressed beyond the:
      1) Ignore it stage
      2) Discredit it stage
      3) Suppress it stage
      and has evolved into the:
      4) "We need a serious plan to deal with this!" stage.
      Keep going OWS! Please!

      As a Vietnam Vet, I never understood how Kerry ended up less patriotic than Bush?
      Swift Boats versus not making your Air National Guard Commitment?
      Using the fact you threw your medals over the White House wall in protest of the War in Vietnam against you?
      How they let that election slip through, it's almost like it was planned that way!
      On both sides of the aisle.
      I think they should get rid of that aisle, because it means nothing anymore.

      I appreciate your thank you and I don't know why I even mention it, unless I'm becoming one of those old men talking about the past.
      I think it is because I enlisted during the draft, with a "Your Country, Love it or Leave it" attitude and despising the 'draft dodgers'.
      I came back wondering how they knew stuff i didn't. How did they know?
      I've always looked at any philosophy or strong feeling and examined it from that viewpoint. How did those against the war know more than I? Somehow they come out braver than I was. At the very least, more informed.

      Don't get me wrong, I served and I served honorably. I did come home with a very different viewpoint, so I can understand Kerry's. When I got out, there were very few jobs, unemployment was higher percentage-wise than today, yet it was easy for a combat vet to get security jobs. By that time I'd decided I wasn't going to shoot anyone for an inanimate object, so I worked as a cowboy on a ranch, I grew up on one, and for a Farmer growing winter oats and alfalfa.
      I did have the GI Bill and one month's payment covered a semester of tuition at the State University. Lucky me.
      Right now I'm in a good place, with good things happening and enjoying how almost every seed of help I sow comes back tenfold; in ways I never imagined.
      One Love.

      Yes I was, because I saw many lives get ruined by a less than Honorable Discharge that had more to do with their upbringing than their willingness to serve.
      Many youngsters were mustered out due to a lack of ability to accept the discipline the military required.
      When you considered I entered Boot-camp it was for 14 weeks and by the time I was finished boot-camp was 7 weeks. There were those who came weeks after me who were graduating weeks ahead of me. How prepared were those 7 weeker's relative to someone who had gone through 14 weeks of preparedness, yet they were subject to the same standards of performance and subject to the same standard of discharge.
      That's an injustice which should be addressed someday.

    • GOP business as usual. Disgraceful, but it gets to the point that republican leadership thinks that they either perform in a vacuum or that they can get away with anything they do no matter how disgusting.

      They applaud letting people die from illnesses because they don't have health care and boo a soldier because he is gay. These are some fucked up assholes that have followers.
