Open letter from an ex-tea partier to OWS- How not to get co-opted-http://www.reddit.com/r/occupywallstreet/comments/kyjo2/an_open_letter_­and_warning_from_a_former_tea/

Declaration of the Occupation of New York City:

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.

They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.

They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.

They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.

They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.

They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.

They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.

They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers' healthcare and pay.

They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.

They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.

They have sold our privacy as a commodity.

They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.

They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.

They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.

They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them.

They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.

They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people's lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.

They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.

They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.

They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.

They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.

They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts. *

To the people of the world,

We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.

Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Join us and make your voices heard!

[dagmastr]

The people who believe in the left are just misguided and need to realize the free market is how we will get jobs and lower energy prices. It is gov. intervention and over regulation that is the problem, do you realize the gov. makes far more on a gallon of gas than the company who produced it. More on the left should invest some time with an open mind learning the facts not media propaganda.

[stkt1986]

ThinkingLiberal2 blocked me. Why are liberals such cowards? I guess it's because they all come from broken homes, with no values.

[alenblake38g]

This is a "short" video. =p

[mainelyLA]

From a network that nobody watched to a network that nobody has heard of.

[dagmastr]

The ows who complain they spent 100k and can't get a job should protest the school they got their arts degree from, really who gets a job after getting a degree in 17th century GLT culture? or something similar.

[maconsumner]

That Keith Olbermann can’t figure out why the main stream media isn’t paying much attention to this isn’t surprising. He can’t figure out how he can’t get a job with a legitimate news organization after being fired by the lowest rated one because he is such an idiot.

[mediaphotographer]

@lthom33 bla bla bla. Again name the half truths that YOU read in his book? What are you reding, cliff notes for liberals?

[lthom33]

@mediaphotographer O'Reilly's book has many gaffes, half-truths, etc. The typical thing we always expect from him. The government of that time objects O'Reilly's account, as do many eye-witness accounts. You want to believe his book, that's up to you. But, I am not the type of person to believe the BS that's in his book. Now, go along.

[mediaphotographer]

@lthom33 typical answer. O wow real research you done. I am impressed! If you have not read his book you rely upon other information that has been flawed Try again.

[lthom33]

@mediaphotographer Ah, yes ya wanker! I read it in the Washington Post and a few on-articles. Also, it was in fact in the news. The book is basically pathetic and anyone who reads it doesn't care about history.

PS the book is NOT sold at the NPS look it up
