The International Independent Democratic Republican Party..?
I heard someone say this at the Occupy/Colorado Springs march this morning. A big topic of conversation was about how the political parties were trying to "co-opt" the movement. It seems to me that they are intent on not letting that happen. It can not be about the 99% without including everyone, Democrats, Republicans, even the Tea Party.

This is a huge challenge but if it is going to be about the 99% of the people, it has to be inclusive of those that have different ideas about abortion, prayer in school, and social issues that have been used to divide the people. There is a bigger issue that concerns all of us.

One of the speakers, spoke about the Federal Reserve and Senator Aldrich, and how it came to pass in 1913 and how the people need to take it back. Another mentioned that the local policemen were accusing them of urinating on the street and that it simply was not true. They were attempting to get a meeting with Mayor Bach, the new mayor of Colorado Springs.

It was a beautiful morning, even though a bit overcast and cool. The colors were the most brilliant of the year thus far.
