I am hoping that what I say makes sense to someone, and they will start writing and treating this "occupy movement" with the respect it is going to earn.

Did you see where Israel had a demonstration of 500,000 people demanding concessions from their government? It worked. Listen to Martin Luther King, his words are as meaningful today as they were then. This struggle for economic justice and government control, will be won by the people!

I feel the occupy movement does have a basic underlying message; Stop letting money decide political elections; And regulate corporate lobbying (and all lobbying) making it a public forum.

Right now lobbying is mostly two old white guys sitting across from each other in an office. "They" have probably worked with each other or went to the same school; And "they" have promised you a job when you get out of politics, -- tripling your present salary!. The "lobbyist" used to be a "politician", it worked for him!. Who owns who? - That's a "Person-hood".

I also coordinated and promoted a protest in Bellevue when Bush was there.
Happy to say both worked out without arrest, injury or property damage! I worked with the Washington State Patrol in Olympia, and Bellevue Police beforehand, and we pretty much understood the rules of engagement. Medina police were not good partners..

Move to Amend will lead the charge on the judiciary which created — and continues to expand — corporate personhood rights.

January 20, 2012 – Move to Amend Occupies the Courts!
Move To Amend is planning bold action to mark this date — Occupy the Courts — a one day occupation on Friday January 20, 2012, of the Federal Courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States and as many of the 89 U.S. District Court Buildings as we can. (I am inspired by Doctor Martin Luther King who said; "a true revolution of values", ... "there comes a time when silence is betrayal"., "people are not gonna be silenced".)

Get our troops out of all foreign countries now! WW2 ended over 60 years ago, get our troops out of Europe and Asia! The Korean War ended half a century ago! Get our troops out of the Mid-East, we buy our oil from Mexico, Canada, and Nigeria, stop protecting the oil rights of Europe & Asia in the Mid-East! Enough is enough! End the Era of Big Bank Politicians! The only President of the People since JFK was killed has been Carter!

Good video. I was there, it was good to see how unpopular bush is. It's ever worse now. Thanks researchris2
That's what the Native Americans got to feel about George Washington; they shot at him point-blank but seemed unable to ever harm him. He'd have holes in his hat, cape, horse shot down under him; yet the man was unharmed.

I believe Mr. King's entreaty was to find our OWN Martin Luther King, Jr. voice in ourselves. Yes, I cannot name a person (and certainly not a corporation..which under law is considered a "person"..amazing isn't it..) today that could fill Mr. King's shoes. I agree..if we all do just a little.. and some even more than a little.. we can restore honesty, integrity, respect for all others and, yes, peace.
Thanks for posting this video and for the thought provoking words of Martin Luther King, Jr.
