Mark Twain: I consider myself a patriot. That means I love my country; it doesn’t mean I have to love my government.
The “Occupy” movement is not only real, it’s essential. This is not about Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives, independents, the right or the left. It is about Americans, the 99% of Americans who pay taxes and actually work to earn money. This movement is about integrity,fairness, honesty and transparency. We need to put an end to corporate/political collusion and the profiteering of Wall Street manipulators, parasitic banks and world dominating oil corporations. it is time to stop paying for useless wars, our politicians affairs and corporate growth with the money we provide them.
This movement about being represented by those people we send to Washington to represent and support, our values, needs, security and well being. It’ about caring as much about one another as corporations care about profits and legislative control.
Occupy Honesty and Fairness. Being a real patriot means caring about your country and your country unlike corporations, is made up of us, the people. The revolution our forefathers fought in 1776 was about having a government that fought to protect the interests of the common man and fight for the the representative governance that would help to improve the well being of the vast majority of American citizens; that 99% of us who have been powerless over how our hard earned taxes are allocated.
With big money owning and controlling media, they have a powerfully persuasive influence over us all. We are a good and trusting people and tend to believe what is written and what is spoken by our leaders and self proclaimed experts. We have a way to be heard now and in a reasonable and peaceful manner take our power back from the 1% and rebuild our country into one that truly does represent the collective will of the people.
This is our chance. The time is now! The decision to sit back and wait is a decision to do nothing. This is a call to step up and be a participant in some small way. Share or forward a message of unity, of sanity, of community. Share your voice and join so many others who are ready to stop the injustice and reshape governments through out the world into true democracies in action and not just in theory.
We have the answers to our problems; we are the experts we are waiting for. We are the leadership we can trust. We can do this as a “we” and only as a we. The 1% are literally banking on us to stay divided and are doing all they can to undermine the impassioned intelligence that is currently being expressed. Don’t let them continue winning over us. You are either helping change to occur or resisting it. Be an active participant or allow the 1% to keep control of your financial well being. There is no longer a fence to sit on at this time. It has long been foreclosed!
