Revive Occupy

At this time in America, the 99 percent have no voice. Our bridges are falling, our roads and airports and schools are a mess, they’re going to cut school lunches and food stamps, and our elected officials have been bought and paid for by the moneyed elite. The media have failed us. There will be no inquiry into wrongdoing. You can’t vote them out because the money is still there.

So what will “We The People” do? I think we will have to get up off of our collectively dead butts, get out in the streets and make a lot of noise until those people we elected start paying attention to what we want. I don’t want Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers to talk about jobs, jobs, jobs and then vote against every proposal on the floor.

“Occupy” scared the heck out of them, so let’s do it again. Only this time, I want to see families out there, I want to see retirees out there, I want to see college kids out there (oh yes, they’re going to hammer you soon on student loans) because this is your country going forward.
