OCCUPY!

I was reading the Occupy Wall Street statement and thinking about my reasons to occupy (but where would we hold a protest in little ol' Deer Lodge and would it matter? And how can I be a part of it HERE?) because I agree with much of their philosophy.
So here's what I came up with (this is the 2nd time I'm typing this as I lost it the first by not saving and leaving the blog site by accident)(doing a flippin spell check!)(Y do I care?!)

1-Corporations are NOT people
2-Democratic governments should not be/ARE not determined by who brings in the most money to the party, or which corp. Lobbist contributes most to a campaign. They should represnt *the people*(The OWS covered this more succinctly).
3-in a DEMOCRACY-governing bodies & representatives should be chosen by voting where all votes are counted (and NONE are "found later)".(You know what I'm sayin here.)
4-student's loans deserve to be forgiven more than wall street hedge-fund traders, and bankers who knowingly fucked the WORLD (not just US), and received, or still receive 6-figure bonuses.
5-war should NOT be a growth industry.
6-incarceration should NOT be a growth industry
7-Democracies DO NOT torture. Period. Endofdiscussion.
8-credit reporting corporations are immoral an unethical. They serve the 1% to the detriment of the 99%.
9-free speech STILL includes the right to assemble peaceable "and to petition the government for a redress of their grievances." And if not then:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

So I have to end this here and go fight "the man" and "woman" for justice!(Aka my jerb) I may amend this later-it too is a "living document"!

  1. What if we had an equal number of Occupier as our Sen. & Cong.reps and NO lobbiest. OR we just fire the ones we have & replace them with Occupiers and NO lobbiest?
