if you want to know how much power we,the 99%,really have [View all]

you need look no further than this very website.
For those who have been here long enough,you know the name Andy.
When you really think about it Andy was among the top five,and possibly the single most powerful du'er ever.He was a thorn in the side of the PTB.

And look what happened.When he got sick a disinformation campaign smeared him so bad the money we donated to get him life saving surgery was held up until it was too late and we lost him.

People wonder why I copped an I don't care attitude on DU?Because it was made clear with Andy anyone who could make a difference would be silenced.

It's time to stand up guys and gals.We don't need an Andy...we need a million Andy's.It's time to take to the streets and force change.OWS could have been the movement but far too many...myself included,sat on the sidelines and watched them be destroyed.

It's time to fight back.People far more intelligent than me need to make this happen but it has to happen or we are all screwed
