Edited on Sat Nov-12-11 12:39 AM by Maraya1969
going back on their word to tax the millionaires. I can't even figure out who they are and I don't think that is by chance.

Phone calls. Reminders of what they stand for. Asking them who they ask getting their money from. All sort of questions need to be asked of these slime.

This needs to be done ASAP! Please help me figure out who these people are.

EDIT: I found some Fellow Democratic Reps. Kathy Hochul (N.Y.) and Charlie Gonzalez (Texas)House Democratic Caucus Chair John Larson (D-Conn.

3. "Super committee"
A cover for Obama so he would not be blamed for the corporate
1% getting what they want.

4. Who didn't see this coming when the committee was announced?
I am so not shocked and surprised. I don't even believe this was not the intention all along. The committee's Dems we're always going to do this and the President and Dem leadership knew it. And they knew it would buy them some time and keep us quiet. Yes, we can write and call, and we should, but it won't make much difference.

9. ARE there actually any Democrats on the committee, or as usual just a bunch of fuckin' wolves-in-
sheeps'-clothing DINO assholes?

There are at best only a couple of handfuls of real Democrats left in both houses of Congress. Sad, but all too frickin' true.

10. The OWS to Occupy DC march is intended to protest the Supercommittee
The marchers set off from Zucctti Park on Wednesday on a 220 mile hike and plan to arrive in Washington ten days from now, just in time to object to any proposal to maintain the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

But although they're starting to pick up some media coverage -- and getting lots of friendly honks along the route and suburban soccer mom types bringing them apples and muffins -- both their numbers nor the coverage will have to pick up substantially to make any significant impact. They started with 25 marchers, have picked up another 15 but have had at least one drop out with badly swollen feet.

Their blog is here -- http://nycmarch2dc.wordpress.com -- though they seem to be finding it harder than they expected to maintain daily entries as the constant marching drains their energy.

Videos here -- http://qik.com/nycmarch2dc

Twitter feed here -- https://twitter.com/#!/NYCmarch2DC -- hashtag is #occupy the highway.

Another Twitter feed here that's mainly photos -- https://twitter.com/#!/PursuingNothing

They pushed hard yesterday to make it to Trenton, and today they have a relatively easy hop across the Delaware and into the Philly suburbs. Tomorrow they join Occupy Philadelphia for a one-day layover, then a few more days to take them down to Occupy Baltimore and then on to DC.
