not re-elected to the presidency. They want the American people to

wars, the fragile economy, and the other ills of society. Let's begin
to boycott the Koch enterprise until they have to scream "HELP"! Read

products. Let's serve the Tea Party with some bitter tea. Make a list
of the products below to take with you every time you go shopping, and
DO NOT purchase any of these.

Defining Occupy Wall Street
We Love America. We're Here to Fix It
I see OWS as a patriotic movement, based on a deep and abiding love of country - a patriotism that it is not just about the self-interests of individuals, but about what the country is and is to be. Do Americans care about other citizens, or mainly just about themselves? That's what love of America is about. I, therefore, think it is important to be positive, to be clear about loving America, seeing it in need of fixing and not just being willing to fix it, but being willing to take to the streets to fix it. A populist movement starts with the people seeing that they are all in the same boat and being ready to come together to fix the leaks.
Publicize the Public
Tell the truth about The Public, that nobody makes it purely on their own without The Public, that is, without public infrastructure, the justice system, health, education, scientific research, protections of all sorts, public lands, transportation, resources, art and culture, trade policies, safety nets ... That is a truth to be told day after day. It is an idea that must take hold in public discourse. It must go beyond what I and others have written about it and beyond what Elizabeth Warren has said in her famous video. The Public is not opposed to The Private. The Public is what makes The Private possible. And it is what makes freedom possible. Wall Street exists only through public support. It has a moral obligation to direct itself to public needs.
Strong Wages Make a Strong America
Middle-class wages have not gone up significantly in 30 years and there is conservative pressure to lower them. But when most people get more money, they spend it and spur the economy, making the economy and the country stronger, as well as making their individual lives better. This truth needs to be central to public economic discourse.
Summary
OWS is a moral and patriotic movement. It sees Democracy as flowing from citizens caring about one another as well as themselves and acting with both personal and social responsibility. Democratic governance is about The Public and the liberty that The Public provides for a thriving Private Sphere. From such a democracy flows fairness, which is incompatible with a hugely disproportionate distribution of wealth. And from the sense of care implicit in such a democracy flows a commitment to the preservation of nature.
From what I have seen of most members of OWS, your individual concerns all flow from one moral focus.
I believe and I think you believe, that most Americans care about their fellow citizens as well as themselves. Let's find out! Shout your moral and patriotic views out loud, regularly. Put them on your signs. Repeat them to the media. Tweet them. And tell everyone you know to do the same. You have to use your own language with your own framing and you have to repeat it over and over for the ideas to sink in.
Occupy elections: voter registration drives, town hall meetings, talk radio airtime, party organizations, nomination campaigns, election campaigns and voting booths.
Above all: define yourselves before others define you.

Breaking His Promise To Create 700K Jobs, Gov. Rick Scott Now Says ‘I Don’t Have To Create Any Jobs’
Breaking His Promise To Create 700K Jobs, Gov. Rick Scott Now Says ‘I Don’t Have To Create Any Jobs’: pGov. Rick Scott (R-FL) campaigned on a promise to create jobs in Florida — his campaign mantras were even “Let’s get to work!” and “jobs, jobs, jobs.” However, recently he’s backed off his earlier pledge to create 700,000 jobs in addition to the 1 million jobs Florida is expected to generate as part of the [...]/p

Evil, Wicked Influence In Government
Here's a word for those who claim to be Christians. Proverbs 9:16 when the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases. The meaning of this saying is that the wicked do more than increase in numbers. They also thrive and become great. They gain influence and come to hold positions of political power. From these positions they are able to influence popular opinion and lawlessness increases rampantly. When society's leaders set bad examples for the populace their deviant bahavior is increasingly seen as normal. Their examples hardens the collective conscience and encourages deviant behavior in others. Nowhere is this more clear than in the politics of Louisiana and on the national political scene.
Let's look the situation here in Louisiana. A few years ago there was a republican legislator from Moss Bluff, Mr. Vic Stelly by name. Mr. Stelly was courageous enough to put forth a tax plan that distrubuted the taxes fairly among the state's population so that the working folk would not be taxed unequitably. The tax plan was voted on by the citizens and passed. Mr. Stelly already knew that because of his stance he could not be re-elected, so he retired. Recently we have elected a governor who has decided to go against the wishes of the majority of the citizens of this state and had the legislature vote to repeal what their constituents had passed into law. The governor may be a handsome and smart guy but he is transgressing against the will of the people. And a legislature that once the liberal envy of the country is now afraid to be progressive, much less liberal. They will not speak on behalf of the working people, but they would jump into a fire for the rich and powerful. Even the democrats now call themselves "conservative", which is another way of saying "republican". When this administration came to power there was a surplus in the state's government. But now the state is back in a hole again. The solution; cut needed services to citizens as is every republican's idea of good government. I wonder if any of them call themselves "Christian"?
And on the national scene there crowds of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thoiusands, marching in every major city across the nation against the greed of banks and corporatiuons. The movement is known as "Occupy Wall Street".Yet the news media has pretended not to see them until the crowds have become so overwhelming that they can no longer be ignored. Instead of asking "why are they marching", the question is "where is the money coming from?" There is no money! These are just people who are fed up with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. And they are taking the only course of action available to them!
When the "tea party" held rallies with two or three thousand people, you would have thought they were an actual movement because of the way the news media cheered them on, day and night. "Occupy Wall Street" is no less than ten times the size of the so-called tea party movement.But the "Occupy" crowd stands for the working people and the tea party stands for, just like the republicans, the rich and greedy. Poll after poll says that more than 75% of the population thinks the Wall Street crowd needs to pay more taxes, but the republicans and the tea party refuse to hear them. And there is no hope at all for the destitute; no mercy, no compassion. And now it's becoming normal for politicians to ignore their constituents in favor of campaign contributions, which many consider to be little more than disguised legal bribes. So yes, the wicked are really increasing in transgressions in America. Lord, have mercy on America!
