The story of the historic Occupy Wall Street Farmers March.

On December 4, 2011, farmers and activists from across the country joined the Occupy Wall Street Farmers March for "a celebration of community power to regain control over the most basic element to human well-being: food." The Farmers March began at La Plaza Cultural Community Gardens where urban and rural farmers addressed an excited crowd about the growing problems in our industrial food system and the promise offered by solutions based in organic, sustainable and community based food and agricultural production. This was followed by a 3 mile march from the East Village to Zuccotti Park, the birthplace of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

We would like to thank Occupy Wall Street, the OWS food justice working group and all the farmers and citizens, urban and rural that participated in the day's events.

    But, even if an excellent candidate is elected to the Presidency in 2012, it isn't going to be easy-going, at all; unless the Congress, ie, House, and Senate are cleansed of the criminals occupying these political seats. I don't have a clue how a good President would be able to be successful with a House and Senate as corrupt as the ones we have and have had for many decades. But voters need to make the effort. If people don't try, then losing is guaranteed, as Ralph says

    Farmers, real, independent farmers, not corporate owned and industrialized farms, are the backbone behind all great civilizations. As they go, so do civilizations go. Industrialized farming is a dead end that we cannot survive. When family/independent farmers prosper, entire economies prosper but when family/independent farmers suffer, so does all of society suffer.

    I'm only watching this because I typed in "We Are Farmers" in the search box, looking for commercials from Farmers Insurance. When I found this video, I watched it and after every time I heard the word "Farmers," I proceeded to sing "bum... badum bum bum bum bum."

    @cbcbarzarz I know little about Ron Paul, but realised that he's extreme in some respects. One example is the Federal Reserve issue. Paul says to abolish the FR, while Ralph Nader only speaks of reform, and is right; while Paul is extremist. Imo. Nader also supports govt helping cies, as long as it fairly helps the population. Paul has another extreme viewpoint or statement. Nader's right in these cases, and more.

    So Paul ?

    I still know little of him, but know a little anyway.
