About Me

We stand in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and the rest of the 99% throughout our country and the world. We stand in protest of the greed and corruption of our government and the 1% who bankroll them. We are striving to affect change locally by raising awareness through marches, sit-ins, and other non-violent tactics, as well as through social outreach.

Which America do you want?

Right now the real question is do you or don't you believe in the constitution? Whether you agree with the occupy movement or not is beside the point.
The constitution says that we have a right to free speech, free press, and assembly. We fight wars in other countries to make sure that they have those same rights. Our president says that the protestors in Egypt and the middle east are heroes for standing up to dictatorial governments.

Meanwhile back at the ranch; 67 senators voted on Tuesday to allow the military to detain and hold US citizens without charge or access to attorney indefinitely. This goes against due process. Obama violated the constitution when he authorized Homeland Security to coordinate a crackdown on peaceful protests across the country. Whether you agree with the occupy movement or not is beside the point.

How long do you think it will be before a group you affiliate with is deemed a threat? Have you read the MIAC report? If you are Christian, you may be a terrorist. If you support Ron Paul, you may be a terrorist. If you carry a pocket constitution, you may be a terrorist. This is the new America. This is an America where police literally shred the American flag. This is an America where you have cops literally stick pepper spray in your mouth for sitting in a public place in protest.

Is this the America that you want to live in? The America that you want for your children?

    I remember back in the 1980's, during Solidarity in Poland, Reagan supported the demand for free trade unions -- while here, there were no free trade unions. Later in 1989, American politicians were upset about the shooting of students in Tiananmen Square -- yes, while the history of the shootings at Kent State and Jackson State in 1970 was being forgotten. Our country has always been a land of doublespeak -- and perhaps now, people are mad enough to demand the truth and accountability. In making these demands, we will certainly be threatened, as is seen by the sites listed in your blog. Thanks, Nicole
