Ray McGovern talks about why he will be part of a sustained occupation of Freedom Plaza on October 6th, 2011. She, and THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, have signed the following pledge:

"I pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries remain in Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that occupation goes into its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., with others on that day or the days immediately following, for as long as I can, with the intention of making it our Tahrir Square, Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will NONVIOLENTLY resist the corporate machine by occupying Freedom Plaza to demand that America's resources be invested in human needs and environmental protection instead of war and exploitation. We can do this together. We will be the beginning."

  • @missrose0077 That will be hear hear.

  • Ray McGovern is a true patriot.

  • Thank you Ray for being a loyal American! Together we fight for Democracy and the end of the corporate stronghold over our govenment.

  • Republic, a system of government in which the people hold sovereign power and elect representatives who exersize that power. It contrastson the one hand with a pure democracy, in which the people or community as an organized whole wield the sovereign power of government, and on the other hand with the rule of one person( such as King or dictator) or of an elite group (such as an oligarchy, aristocricy or junta),

  • We need to go back to a democracy? founders of America? they set up a Republic! Hmmm, maybe I should go check what the difference is.

  • I am planning for sustainable movement that will outlast the corporate violence. We may not have money, but we have dedication and courage to be nonviolent and persistent to live up to the ideals we hold in our hearts as a free people.Thank you Ray. Your service and integrity are a great inspiration to many.

  • Please try Res Publicae. Political power held by all.

    That is what our founders meant.

  • see you there Ray

  • Well put together plea. I'm listening, and sending what I can. Wish I could be there with you in person. The simplicity of our plea surely will be heard. So simple yet means everything to a civilized compassionate society ... especially I would think one that continual touts it's founding documents and reveres our Statue of Liberty.
