I don't really care about your obvious anti-Occupy agenda; but I do question why you have such an obvious and focused, but poorly managed, OWS agenda. The collective 1%, Third Way, and the GOP hate Occupy also, but they're basically irrelevant as antagonists as well.
Occupy is a progressive, anti-corporatist, democratically oriented phenomenon. Of course these conservative groups want to stop us. We are the very antithesis of modern day conservatives.
But all the propaganda spewing and stifling of information in the world won't help them stop Occupy. They've already arrested 6,000 of us in this country alone.
We're winning.
There's nothing, not one thing, that any of you that have an anti-OWS agenda can ever do or say that can stop the Occupy Movement. After only 3 1/2 months, the results of our efforts are already manifesting. And this is just the beginning.
Citizens United Backlash Grows from Cali. to NYC Urging Congress to Overturn Corporate Personhood
Adding to a growing nationwide backlash against the U.S. Supreme Courts Citizens United ruling, California lawmakers have introduced a resolution that calls on Congress to "propose and send to the states for ratification a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United." The New York City Council has just passed a similar resolution, echoing measures passed in Los Angeles, Oakland, Albany and Boulder. We speak to Public Citizen President Robert Weissman; California Assemblymember Bob Wieckowski, who introduced the states Citizens United resolution; and New York City Council Member and measure co-sponsor Melissa Mark-Viverito. "I think it taps into the sentiment that were seeing around the country growing, regarding Occupy Wall Street, where people really feel that government is disconnected from the vast majority of the population, and because of this influence that corporate interests have," Mark-Viverito says.
