Showing Original Post only (View all)Congresswoman Davis (D-53rd District California) gets OCCUPIED [View all]

Well my Congress woman got occupied. No serious. People went to her office, after finding out the local Democratic Paty HQ was closed. That was the first target. Why were they there? Folks, they were angry. Ok anger is a somewhat trite word these days. So what is better? Concerned? They were not happy, why? This is a question rarely asked these days by elite media. So WHY?
They were not happy since the President is about to sign the National Defense Authorization Act. They are truly scared that Provisions 1031 and 1032 will pretty much gut the bill of rights.
So you might ask... them must be Republicans right? Nope.
Will Robinson danger ahead. These are the base of the Democratic Party. These are the people who usually come out and happily vote for DEMOCRATS. So if I were part of the Democratic Party I'd start paying attention, unless of course it matters little anymore.
Oh and for the record, these well dressed folks are also OCCUPIERS, and members of Veterans for Peace and Progressive Democrats, and a few other groups that are traditionally alined to the left, So there you have it. A few more into who really the Occupy movement is, and in my view how deep it is.
Oh and a few points made... one was truly concerned that this has been rushed through, and perhaps it is meant to deal with the Occupy movement. After all, apparently my local cops, and your local cops, are told that political activists are low level terrorist. Now I don't know if this scares me, or just angers me... but hey.. there you have it.
(Yes, they have been trying to bring a few of these points to the local city council... pulling nails would be easier)
