People have to remember that the Supreme Court Citizens United decision was a 5 to 4 decision. Hardly an overwhelming majority decision. We have to make sure no more Supreme Court Justice being appointed are paid off by the worst greedy corporate executive who don't care who suffers as long as they profit. We don't need to go back to the days of Feudal Landlords that the founders of this country fought against in order to protect the local community connected merchants and farmers.

Have you tried to get Stephen Colbert to feature this on his Report?

Representative government is NOT democracy, it's Corrupt-Cronyism. Politicians, like actors are paid to show up and do as they are told while being convincing enough to elicit an emotional response. Whom ever is paying the most is who the system works for. Only when The*People have direct input as to HOW their money is spent will there be change, if not NOW, WHEN?? Individual Directed Capitalization, iDC 65% of YOUR TAX contribution directed to areas of funding of YOUR CHOICE Power 2 The*People.

Occupy & every other Protest Organization are ALL about HOW YOUR MONEY IS SPENT. Why not demand the one action that would change everything ?? Why not initiate a True Democratic Process ?? Display the Heart of Peace & Demand... iDC, Individual Directed Capitalization.... Engage the FULL 99%... Transition 2 Direct Democracy, Empower The*People... Unite the C.H.A.O.S. Why not DEMAND control of YOUR MONEY ?? If not N.O.W. ?? WHEN ??

Isn't it interesting how liberals are the first ones to drag everyone (government agencies, corporations, etc) into court when they don't get their way? However, the minute liberals don't like the outcome in the United States Supreme Court, the far-left, intolerant, America-hating liberals do what they do best; act like a bunch of whiney 5 year old cry babies. Why don't you all try occupying a desk? There are jobs out there. Barry Sotello hasn't done away with them all (yet!).

“Why the courts? Because frankly folks, that’s the scene of the crime,” said David Cobb, an organizer of Friday’s protests. “Corporate personhood and money equals political speech are court-created doctrines. We the people never decided it; our elected representatives didn’t decide it; ordinary people like me and you never decided it. The court created these doctrines and it’s going to take a movement to overturn it.”

1st one cannot compare the Bush wars to Libya/Syria. Bush wars were NOT about a nation of people in protest demanding change as is/was libya/syria. The rest of it is accurate tho (sadly). ANYWAYS Mr. Cobb, the citizens of Ellensburg WA 98926 seem to be most happy living under tyranical rule - I HIGHLY doubt that more than myself will show up at the local courts. Fuck Ellensburg I abandon them to thier self built shit!
