Sat 11 am Stand Together: the 99% must show up


FOR EFFECTIVE IMPACT ON OUR FELLOW CITIZENS, OUR  LEGISLATORS,  AND
THE PRESS, THE  99% NEEDS TO SHOW UP!
 Be there Saturday Oct  22  11 am   at the park beneath the steps and
across the street from the State Capitol in Denver:   Meet and march
through Denver together, in solidarity.

Move On joined in support of Occupy Denver, and now Sierra Club (see
below) announced its support too (among other organizations) !
Hopefully that will motivate more of the 99% to  feel more comfortable
about participating.

But the OCCUPY movements are not about formal groups nor about
political groups - they are an expression of citizens at large, which
is what is making them so powerful.

Their cause is in support of government By  For and of the people,
under democratic principles and for the Common Good -  calling for an
end to corporate rule and excess corporate profit takings that are at
the expense of the people, including the pound of flesh taken in :
- lost US jobs and industries related to neofeudal "free trade"
agreements,  unfair competition of mega corporations,  destruction of
pensions (and pension funds) , fair labor practices and unions.
-undue influence on Congress and the media, resulting in their support
of Big Money interests rather than the interests of the 99%
- the bailouts of fraudulent financial activity losses to the Big
Gamblers that did the fraud and brought down the financial systems of
countries around the world, including ours
- the subsequent failure to investigate ("too big to fail/too big to
jail) and failure to bail out the largest number of victims of fraud
and lost value:   homeowners
-the  massive subsidies to our largest corporations - that eat up tax
dollars and impede fair competition for small business,
-the fact that our largest corporations and the rest of the 1% avoid
paying their fair share of taxes due - taking advantage of tax
loopholes, tax havens and tax "relief" allowed and enabled by
Congress,
 - the negative health effects, property value loss, and environmental
degradation related to oil and gas and coal industry practices and a
corrupted national energy policy that is leading us over an
environmental cliff, to a non livable future

Last week's march was very inspiring-  about 3000 people from all
walks of life, all ages and ethnicities, all political persuasions
(Dems, Repub, Libertarian, Tea Party, Greens, Independents etc).
Homemade signs included:  They got bailed out/we got sold out!,  Too
big to fail/Too big to jail = Un American and Unconstitutional,
Reclaim Govt Of For and By the people -  End Corporate Rule! , We are
the 99%, The 1% and corporations must pay their fair share,  United
left and right  = banker's fright,  Legalize Democracy,  etc).   It
was really inspiring to march together and see the shopkeepers,
waitstaff, customers at cafes, tourists, etc cheering us on.  The
press didn't show until after that march concluded and many people had
left and only covered the sit in on the street afterwards.

 We should be doubling or tripling our numbers tomorrow!
