  • Occupy made the Rose Parade more interesting. Can't deny that.

  • A few ignorant individuals decide to disrupt a wonderful family event like the Rose Parade and silly, useless, waste of the air they breathe use this as a medium to protest. Don't tell me about your right to protest or trash parks by "occupy ***" or any of that other BS. I have a right to be able to get to work without being harrassed or having to pay taxes for clean up of some park that was occupied or have people disrupt my family outing by this stupid display.

  • @tavereen1 Are you sure they are the ignorant ones? I don't see anything in the constitution about the right to a family outing; You are just like the people that were against the civil rights movement. Wake up, man! They are fighting for all of us! Read up on SOPA, PIPA and NDAA! Read up on the corruption and corporatism in politics! Don't you realize your Government does not represent you!? They are selling you and your childrens future down the river!

  • what is occupy wall street. Now they are claiming to be constitutionalists? What they want is a far cry from the government that the founding fathers set up.

  • @joe1026 well if you had half a brain you would look up what they want.

  • sehr schön

  • Is it just me, or does every single comment from anti-occupy people have childish name calling to make points?

  • @BxCAD

    That's because they have no points to make.

  • Wonderful inspiring video. Loved the huge scroll "We the People" and the dancing tents ;-) We come in peace & love. Join us.

  • Occupy is like school on Thanksgiving....no class.

  • thank you for the video..and have a very happy and healthy 2012.

  • This is the most significant float of the parade. The most anticipated, relevant and noteworthy expression of we the people.

  • Nice of you to post this, for those who didn't get to be there and didn't manage to find TV station which covered it. Thanks.

  • They/we come from all backgrounds, some are religious, many are not. Every race, economic background, blue collar, white collar, unemployed, underemployed, students, straight, gay, well-off, poor, you name it. We/they stand for all people. And will continue to fight for all until such time as all wake up and see.

  • You can lead people to the truth but you can't make 'em think. Occupy!

  • Both the giant We the People and the We the Corporations images were painted by scenic artist Steffon Moody for the Backbone Campaign. The We the People preamble debuted March 4th 2007 in Seattle. It then toured the country as part of the Procession for the Future. We have gradually added extensions so more people could sign it. The 2012 Rose Parade is the first time that almost all those extensions have been joined together.

    See Backbone Campaign website for more info on Artful Activism

  • The We the Corporations banner debuted in Washington, DC in Jan 2011 as part of Backbone Campaign's satirical Emancipation Celebration for the Corporation "celebrating" the first anniversary of the US Supreme Court's Citizens United vs. the F.E.C decision that enshrined the absurd legal doctrine of corporate personhood.

  • We the Corporations

    Transcending the Boundaries of Nations,

    in Order to Protect us from the People,

    Insure our Right to Extract and Exploit,

    Provide the Defence of Profit with Impunity,

    and Secure the Blessings of Wealth and

    Privileged for those Who Have it Already,

    Do ordain and appropriate this Constitution

    of the United States of America

  • @cia5000 Take a look at the people who are out there. I have been to the O.Los Angeles (not to participate, just to witness). The middle class doesnt support this movement. Its only a fringe misfit society that does. Its an anarchist youth movement. Its not about jobs, or mortgages. Its about F# the man, F# everyone who has made a life for themselves. They are a bunch of Peter Pans lost boys who dont wanna grow up or have rules. Look how they dress and act. Face tattoos dont get you jobs!

  • @TheExecutiveDecision

    Clearly, you are lying and you never actually been to the Occupy LA. Watching Glenn Beck TV is not going witnessing the movement sorry about that. Its not a fringe society, most of them have jobs, most of them are college graduates, and many are still in college. Its not an F the man and F-everyone who made a life for themselves because majority of the protesters made a life out of themselves too and are educated and have jobs.

  • @TheExecutiveDecision

    Its not an Anarchist movement you dip shit. In fact, if you look at the polls, you will see that majority of the movement actually supports Capitalism still. You don't understand anything, and who cares how they dress? What is wrong with you? Oh I forgot, you liked the Jim Crow era of living where everyone looked the same and minorities were thrown out of society. Most of them don't even have tattoos you fucking imbecile.

  • @cia5000 Thanks for the info. I was wondering about that.

  • Go Occupy! Best Rose Parade ever.

  • @scangemi And if you think they aren't killing common folks, look at all the people literally snapping: Being unemployed causes desperation, banks cause desperation, desperation causes people to act irrational, irrational people shoot kill and rob people.... they are the problem, don't be so glib.

  • @scangemi That is not who these occupy people are. The people you would have assassinated will be laughing out of the other side of their mouths when all is said and done and no violence will be necessary, at least from the occupy side. Really,Scangemi, that is crazy talk and not needed.

  • @LyndaDi hmmm never seen a successful revolution without violence.... yeah you do show me LyndaDi. I think scan knows what he is talking about....Name ONE historically relevant instance and I will rescind.... otherwise you should hit your history books.... nothing is going to come of OWS....you know it, I know it, and the rest of the world knows it. Will they get aggravated, maybe, will they change policy...NOT A CHANCE. I honestly believe YOUR talk is crazy talk & supports my theory.

  • @scangemi

    Its not really a revolution. You are right, no revolution has been non-violent. In fact no protest or protest movement has been non-violent. Violence and crime or inevitable if you are trying to fix society because the people of authority refuse to and want you to be silent. Labor Rights, Women Rights, Civil Rights, etc, have all had violence. The movements aren't inherently violent but its something that just happens

  • @cinemafreak666 obviously...and I don't advocate violence under normal circumstances. But, these are not normal circumstances...it is an equal an opposite reaction to these people wielding economic power and using the police as their puppets...but when banks foreclose on people who they obviously shouldn't have loaned to in the first place, & those people go on killing rampages....well the sheeple say they should have been able to pay their bill lol. Banks indirectly kill people.

  • Comment removed

  • @cia5000 Because they have been programmed to believe such. It is how the governments keep the sheeple in "line" and ready for the slaughter. Sad, isn't it?

  • this is a sweet river of revolution cutting through the streets of materialism and oppression. it takes balls to battle these forces, the energy out there reeks of secretive barbaric brainwashing, the mainstream brain has become a sponge plugged into fox news, they look like lost puppy dogs, just repeating the words of their master "get a job", I replied "I have one, plus an education". I also used a tactic of getting a clean hair cut and nice dress so they couldn't call me hippie lol

  • Too bad it didn't make TV. What is the media afraid of?

  • thumbs up occupy!

  • @cia5000 ...preach...

  • This is so amazing, what a great idea this was. I love this!!! Great job!!

  • Ron Paul 2012!

  • @cia5000 I am no more supportive of the rose parade being used by any of the other causes you mentioned. It is a family even and doesnt need to be plagued by liberal b.s. or any political views at that. Its a parade, not a protest. OWS is a plague to this country. OWS is a welfare movement. Thats it! Nothing more. They are marching for handouts!

  • @TheExecutiveDecision haha...where do you get your opinions, Hannity?

  • @rellobellotube NBot the first time I have heard that, however I do not honestly know a thing about hannity. I know his name and nothing more. So keep trying to pin the reality of the situation on something else aside from hannity, limbaugh and fox news.

  • @TheExecutiveDecision You said it..it's a family event as is this upcoming election and all the wrongs that need to be righted. Getting the word out that there is solidarity is a family event and all family events should be occupied.

  • @LyndaDi Do you want your kids becoming one of them? A homeless gutter punk, with dreadlocks, and an axe to grind? If these assholes would clean up a bit, didnt have tatts on their face and necks, and actually educated themselves maybe they would have jobs. But instead they want to live as a drifter. They want to bring back the acceptance of the compound style living of the 60's. They are anarchist. They dont even understand politics. They are just bums w/ no interest in success or a real job.

  • @TheExecutiveDecision

    Clearly, you have no understanding about the movement at all. If you did you would realize that around 75 to 85% of them have jobs and another 15% are still in school getting an education. Most of them don't have tattoos and they are normal people. They are protesters protesting a real problem in this country, they don't need to clean up their acts, they did nothing wrong, its a protest, its called civil disobedience, MLK and Gandhi did the same.

  • @TheExecutiveDecision

    They are protesting real problems in the country, unlike that other biased movement whose arguments consisted of Anchor Babies, Obama being the anti-christ, Obama being a secret Muslim, and Obama forging his birth certificate.

  • What's up with the weird music? That was not coming from the Occupiers.

  • @ T E D... blameing OWS marchers for garbage the might have been thrown at them (as opposed to what is often left behind) is like blameing the woman for spousal abuse.

  • Surrender all judgment and appreciate that people are willing at all costs to speak up. We have been apathetic for too long. Let people have a voice.

  • BURN!

  • Isn't that typical of the OWS movement. Take something that is beautiful and nice and ruin it with garbage. They have no business doing this and it upsets me that the local gov't and police would cater to these idiots and allow them to do this. OWS has achived nothing but destruction of public parks/property. They have cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands in overtime pay to police and other public employees, as well as the $ in property damage and maintenance. Go home, you losers!

  • @TheExecutiveDecision says the constitution is 'garbage' ? didnt realize he hated america so much

  • @werpknarly The constitution isn't garbage, but if you believe that the OWS crowd is about upholding the constitution, you very are mislead. Does the constitution say that the gov't is required to take care of the lazy, the addicted, and the misfits that don't want to get a job? Dont recall that line.

  • @TheExecutiveDecision No , it does not. If I recall it was Jesus who said that.

  • @pinetop747 The OWS crowd has no interest in Jesus. And if they were moral, outstanding, down on their luck citizens then they would be worth helping. However, they are not. It is literally 90% homeless, gutter punks, hippies and disgruntled youth who have never had a job and have no interest in ever having one. They have chosen to live on the outskirts of society and thats what this movement is about. They wanna live however they choose, never be told no, and never go without.

  • @TheExecutiveDecision

    Actually most of the OWS crowed is religious. Many are Christians, others are Jewish, there are Muslims, and there are Buddhists. They have been having meetings and been resting at Church's. Many Church's have been working with OWS. 90% homeless, is a complete lie. Homeless people aren't even involved in the movement but we allowed them at the encampment. Again 75% or more do have jobs, another 15% are in college still. You have no clue

  • @TheExecutiveDecision ? people don't supply donations so people will bum around at a park in the cold. I say protesting peacefully is a jesus supported act. No sins being made unlike how most people live. If you don't know about the movement and come down and see for yourself at least inform people this is your guess. Although i see it far from fact.We don't need more people pretending they know about a movement that is world wide and has public support.

  • @TheExecutiveDecision OWS mic checked ron paul and he is the heroe of the constitution....They dont want real Freedom..just hand outs.

  • @gimmethatLOOT Yea, 'cause government subsidies to corporations aren't handouts right?? The banks being bailed out wasn't a handout either I guess. You're like an abused girlfriend who screams at the cops when they come to arrest the guy who's kicking her ass... not worth listening to.

  • @gimmethatLOOT if you actually talk to occupy people you would see most would lean to vote for ron paul. Some people don't want to wait only to find out ron paul was a deception. People are careful ever since obama gave false promises ,but one thing we are clear about is dems and republicans are the same side. Ron paul can easily be killed off if he did stick to what he says. They can threaten his family and change his tone. we need a lot of gov house cleaning.act now not later

  • Comment removed

  • @TheExecutiveDecision gov/'t police letting them do this? the part you don't understand is the chaos you mention is not happening. That is why occupy "gets away with it"cause it's fiction everything you said.why don't you spend this time reading the defense authorization act and find out why they felt they need to protest NOW. instead of being a baby crying about stuff you only see on tv.main stream media suppose to show the news but instead they give opinion u take as fact

  • I was there <3

  • This is beautiful. Makes so much more of an impact than any of the bank sponsored floats. Glad they're willing to make their statement visible.

  • @kodakmon 

  • Ohhh look at all the idiots in an orderly row. Didn't know they were even THAT capable.

  • @kodakmon Making the statement visible is the whole point of the movement. It is really inspiring though (:

  • TY kellylcr's Great job

  • Thank you funkills for using some rational and logic against the trolls, It really bothers me to think that our fellow man and humanity could be such a dumbed down species but thank you for making sense

  • @dallasbearhunter yeah, stupid citizens, marching for what they believe in! What idiots, parading around the US Constitution, reaching out in their communities, doing things. Stupid Constitution! Right? Arrrgh! They'd be so much smarter to critique everything from their LaZBoys! Keep up the incredible, insightful work you are doing here. That'll show everyone.

  • @dallasbearhunter All voices make this country. Just as many feel your comment, I will say, needs to be looked into at best. The" Occupy" at the parade was a success. Not just in the U.S. but seen around the globe. The global sentiment is a reflection of what took place today. There are no "stupid idiots" only those that say such. BRAVO

    to the beginning of this year and the continuation of caring for all people. Be informed.

    OBAMA!!

  • Yay! Occupy!!

  • Thank you for uploading.
