PEOPLE’S TAX IDEA: I suggest we circulate the list of these people, ask for a $1,000,000 people’s tax from each of them, and locate a nonprofit (Oakland Rising?) to administer the funds collected as a people’s tax. I further suggest we use the funds to 1) create a lobbying network for the people 2) establish a people’s policy institute 3) provide a wage booster supplement of $10,000 to anyone who earns less than $30,000 per year in Oakland (and other dynamic and wonderful ideas that people will no  doubt come … Continued

I am a civic speaker in Mountain View, where I have been battling (in court) the fascist city and county governments here for my right to speak.  I have decided to join you all and expect to be there later today.  I would like very much to know whether you young people are open to considering the plan for action that I have been working to promote for four years.  The five page website at IDEAFARM.COM presents the essence of the plan.  Please comment on it here, or find me … Continued

Honestly, does this kind of consumption occur frequently by members of your community? I asked  some one who I believe was a part of the first aid station if she could tell me details … Continued

Hi, I was at Occupy Boston two weeks ago and copied down these quotes which I had not seen before from Pres. Lincoln and Jefferson Lincoln: “The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity.

He said that on one particular date (a Friday would best), everyone who has a 401K and the ability to change your 401K should change all of the investments from mutual funds to treasury bonds.   He said that affecting the mutual funds would directly affect the banks and then they would have no control over the treasury bonds. He said that it should be done on a Friday so that they couldn’t do … Continued

Hello OAKLAND! We here in the Midwest are behind you 110%! – and we’d like to send our best wishes to Iraq Veteran Scott Brown. And on that note, I thought that I’d share a little video of a certain right-wing propaganda network (that just happens to have cable news’ #1 (lies) show). I was APPALED (but not surprised) that O’Reilly covered this and said all the hateful things that he did – and didn’t even bother to mention Scott Brown’s name. BOYCOTT FOX NEWS – FOX LIES!
