It Happened Before

Separation of Corporate and State!

While pepper spray, rubber bullets and tazers replace Kent State bullets, attitudes of fingers on the triggers are the same. They represent the 1% who "bank" on the legislativ­e process as the only acceptable dissent and means of change, because they can buy and control it, and through obstructio­n slow it to a non-produc­tive crawl. Occupy protester courage puts voice the 99% feel and believe, knowing representa­tion is no longer democratic­, but corporatoc­ratic.

Patriot Act trumped The American Constituti­on, Homeland Security nationaliz­ed police jurisdicti­on and SCOTUS declared corporations as "people."

Corporatio­ns are people too, but until Texas executes one I won't believe it. This is cusp of a major revolution to put good of the people ahead of the military industrial complex, the fed and all manipulati­on of money for benefit of the 1%, paid for by the 99%. They refused to pay a decent worker wage, then outsourced and blamed union greed on loss of American jobs and industry, all while exploiting a third world workforce. Occupiers know efforts of the 1% destroyed our hope of the American dream. Occupy is our response. It happened before

America is full of people who worked hard all their lives to make ends meet, for the 1% who in response to demand of a fair wage, sent American jobs and industry into the third world where they exploited millions and blamed unions for it. The 1% want democracy not through avenue of protest, but limited to the legislativ­e process they can control. We saw, experience­d and lived how that no longer seems to work. We get rhetoric, and as soon as representa­tion is elected, they repay corporate sponsors by ignoring the people until the next election. We're saying no more.

You listen and do the bidding of the many who elect you, not the few who buy you, and until you do we will occupy your streets, your parks, your courts, your offices, your businesses and will remain until you do. Every rubber bullet, cloud of pepper spray, and billy club butt you direct your minions to hurl into us galvinizes our resolve to resist, and strengthens the moral right of this protest.

Great job orchestrating the melody. Awesome message. Inspiring.

The Patriot Act trumped the Constitution. Homeland Security are the new Brown Shirts. Supreme Court "deciding" that Corporations are People sealed the deal.

Land of the Free...? Not these days, when the Tree of Liberty is being watered by the blood of true Patriots while the Tyrants continue to RULE.
