Description:
America's anti-corporate Occupy protesters are starting the year as they mean to go on - digging in with their demos, as they clock up 4 months of the campaign. Thousands are due outside Congress later on Tuesday - hoping their demands won't fall on deaf ears, as representatives reconvene after the holidays.

Jan 19, 2012 - Most of the protesters probably are staying home, and that group of protesters will probably increase.

Jan 20, 2012 - If Romney is elected it's time to start getting our riot on.

Jan 20, 2012 - Undervote and be a catalyst for undervotes being allowed in your state if they are not currently. Nothing says "go back home" like a landslide loss to "not you".
BeYourGovernment Says:
Jan 20, 2012 - Later that day, BeYourGovernment had a "Pink Slips for Congress" action that was joined by activists from Occupy Wall Street and the Coffee Party USA and Occupy Washington and Occupy Congress to deliver pink slips to every member of Congress. Check out the funny video with a visit to Bohner's office at the end:

Jan 21, 2012 - They really need to replace FOX on actual tv, and not just be "that youtube network"

Jan 21, 2012 - I agree.
Conranify Says:
Jan 21, 2012 - I think you're wrong. Look at every other protest in history, and those where the abuse by those in power is clear are the most effective. It's far more effective to be able to show thug cops beating peaceful people. Exposing the fascist powers in video as they abuse protesters increases the strength of the movement. Having those protesters fighting back allows for the right-wing to claim the police are using "adequate force"

Jan 30, 2012 - How can America preach democracy and freedom when they won't even let there own citizen's exercise that right. These occupiers are protesting a great injustice and yet they are the one's getting arrested, not the insider traders on Wall Street and in Congress who used tax monies to make billions, not the CEO's who stole Billions and Millions from investors
AllesOnderControle Says:
Jan 30, 2012 - None are more hopelesly enslaved, than those who falsly believe they're free.
PeaceProfit Says:
Jan 31, 2012 - Representative government is NOT democracy, it's Corrupt-Cronyism. Politicians, like actors are paid to show up and do as they are told while being convincing enough to elicit an emotional response. Whom ever is paying the most is who the system works for. Only when The*People have direct input as to HOW their money is spent, will there be a shift toward True Democracy. Individual Directed Capitalization 65% of YOUR TAX contribution directed to areas of funding of YOUR CHOICE Power 2 The*People.

Feb 6, 2012 - am i the only one that get what the occupy was? the elites designed and controlled the occupation, you people underestimate them, but they actually are quite intelligent, if you dont pay close attention, you will miss it. from the beginning they were in on it, slowly they turned thr tides on the 99% by getting the whole world against them, calling them bunch of lazy hippies, etc. we should worry more about the power plant in russia, san diego, japan, something is happening, something bad
