Beautiful example of a "flash-mic" tactic. We used this in the Capitol rotunda of the State Capitol of Illinois. Occupy Springfield Illinois managed to read a good 10-minutes of script by trading off mic leaders. They didn't seem to get that the leader was unimportant, until it was too late.

7 senators changed their vote on SB397 because of that action, and they tabled the issue for later. We intend to have 1,000 people there when they do.

Solidarity, O.S.I.

Wherever they go, they cannot hide. The 99% are everywhere, and the elites WILL BE FORCED to listen.

The Insurance Industry is as bad as Wall Street...they have milked the masses of US citizens to line their own golden pockets and are in cahoots with the Health Care Industry by raising medical costs through the roof to increase their billion dollar profits!!!!!

Bravo to these brave people for speaking truth to power! It takes real guts and conviction to do that. Not only are they standing up for what's right, they're helping to inform people in the process. THIS is what it's going to take to make a real democracy.

@cannonballziggy The propaganda parroting is all yours, not mine. You claim to know what is going on, yet you fail to say exactly what is, other than the approved fascist propaganda. Get back to us when you get your next propaganda talking point from your fascist masters. We need another good laugh.

@cannonballziggy Yeah stop whining. Instead, lick some boots, be a whore for the rich, vote against your own best interests and be a good German. Become a rightist.

Only about 60% of those 16 to 24 years old are in the labor force (those employed or seeking jobs). Their unemployment rate is 18%. The real overall unemployment rate in the entire country is 23% [The Great Depression rate was 23%] when you count everyone who wants a job and can’t get it! - themoneyparty [dot] org/main/?p=3053

This is now a country for the 1% what ever happened to equality of the land? The 1% runs the US and they screw over the 99% bcuz they can get away with it.

@cannonballziggy Worst part is I am 100% disabled but because I tried to work I made just enough to not qualify for social security or medicare. I now I am super doomed. I should have just given up and taken my $600/month to live on.

@iversonmatthew that really hurts. I know several folks in the same boat. It is not something anyone wants to have to go through. And I am sympathetic. My sympathy won't pay the bills. And hospitals, doctors are more expensive than anything. I am just as upset that insurance companies place obstacles and caps and do anything they can to avoid providing services that we pay them for. The answer seems to lie in socialized medicine, but that may ultimately be a trap.
