The Wall Street protests and the coming Oct. 6th protests were inevitable. |

The government is broken. All solutions WILL NOT be tried to fix this economic situation. Hopefully, everybody will join their fellow Americans in some sort of action for change. I saw a picture of a protest sign at the webinar I attended last night that said:
Until you wake up, we will fight for you.
Don't wait forever for someone to stand up for you. Stand up for yourselves and your loved ones and be the change needed now. There are many ways to join the effort if nothing else, send food and supplies for the effort done on your behalf.

1. We really have no other choice remaining. |

We have tried everything else. The elections are rigged and even if they are not, the dancing supremes will change the count to suit the needs of their cronies.
Sending letters, e-mails, petitions and complaints to our representatives in DC doesn't make a difference. When they handed out the loot from TARP to the banksters, there were so many people calling, writing and e-mailing to complain that they crashed the lines. And yet they still went ahead and handed out loans to banksters at interest rates so low the working class will never get such deals.
Our only remaining avenue for change is protest.
But here is a remarkable thing. Protest does work.

I lived through change because people had enough and took to the streets until it finally succeeded.

Both political parties have failed the people and the country miserably. There is no other recourse.
