Just off the cuff here...a few comments.  I am remembering how the right took this country over, beginning in the 50's.  It's taken them 60 years to basically dominate our politics.  Through ideologically driven issues like the right to own a gun, abortion, gay marriage, terrorism, deregulation, freedom and liberty, immigration and debt ceilings, they have played on the emotions of Americans and manipulated the debate.  It's always about patriotism and God.



My point is that what…

Call Speaker of the House John Boehner and tell him to pass the Payroll Tax Cut Extension, or Prepare to lose $40 a week out of your paycheck. His number is: Boehner's Phone: (202) 225-0600. I tested the number and it is to his office. Tell him and his crony Tea Partier's to get it done NOW! $40 is my weekly gas money. Tell them to stop being jerks and help the American people.

Talking to potential Presidential candidates.  Wondering if any Occupy activists are interested in a discussion on what they are looking for in a candidate.

An incident on Occupy London comment stream, set me thinking,...A young man was having a rant, raving about the older generation being idiots, mainly because of the environmental and economic situation they are inheriting from us. He was warned - a few times then banned. When I thought about it he was going about his complaints the wrong way but he was young and we are the mature adults - but he did have a point and perhaps it might have been diffused if he was listened to and we had…

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.

Would most welcome feedback on, and use of, these video productions from the Poverty, Promise, and Possibility initiative: http://news.uchicago.edu/video/series/poverty%2C-promise%2C-and-possibility

This youtube video series is a must-see for those moving deeper into the Occupy movement. It's called "The Money Masters" and very effectively unveils the story of money - how it gets created, and how certain men throughout history have manipulated it. Understanding important aspects of our history gives us the power of choice - to repeat it, or change it. http://ning.it/vnQq2N…

I reprinted the beginning of this article by J. Andrew Felkerson from Alternet.org as it sheds more light on the complete failure of the current financial system.  Not that we didn't already know it is a failed system, but Felkerson's research may reveal a magnitude of collapse that may make even those politicians, in the…

Something to think about. 125+ Million People in America are poor or in Poverty according to the US Census Bureau.

On the same day this report came out, it was reported that Third World countries that produce the cotton for Victoria Secret's Underwear use child labor. Victoria Secret and other corporations use third world countries to produce our goods because they say it cost too much for the thongs…

Just pulled this off the "Occupy Live Feed"http://occupylive.org/#/stories/446c646d6f5a754b4d63724cwww.occupycafe.org

To me all along this has been the real threat of the darcpnian police provisions President Obama has just agreed to go along with ( witholding veto)

When I witnessed those young eople taking pepper spray I had this ahunating sense that our police have been preparig for an…

Several "live feed "links rolling by and here is another

This is at once shocking and not suprising..can we trust obama on any of his pledges to veto?

Just heard this stat on the morning news..a great placard for any solidarity and witness events that Occupy might undertake on income inequality.

The immortal words of Jesus says "Judge not ... and ye shall not be judge by your own measures." When I see this scripture I believe that he is speaking about judging the condition of a person's soul; judging on a spiritual level. If I point at a man and say, that man is going to hell because he's a thief, an adulterer, etc. then I am guilty of judging.

However If I see a man running out of a bank with a mask on carrying a bag of loot while the alarms are going off, I can call that…

OWS had an OCCUPY Brookfield Properties rally yesterday, I gather in the winter garden at the Financial Center.  Both the atrium and Zuccoti Park are owned by Brookfield Properties whose board Mayor Bloombergs long time girfreind, Diana Taylor sits on.  She gets paid $109,000 to attend 8 meetings a year and......dare we imagine..exert influence with the Mayor.   Brookfield currently owes the City $139,000 in back taxes.

A huge police force met the 100 or so Occupy Brookfild…

Ashland, OR (December 13, 2011) –  …

Recently I submitted my blog on class bigotry to my local newspaper office as a letter to the editor. It may go into publication.

I am testing the waters in my community to do either one of two things, start an Occupy Movement group and/or make a run for the city council in the next election.

The small town I live in has a population of less than 10,000 and most are poor or in poverty. There is a growing problem in the community of what I call "Class Bigotry" where the poor is…
