The Occupy movement should begin to petition and endorse candidates

Submitted by Melinda on

Forums: 

I am no entirely sure if Occupy LA has began to petition yet but if we have not we definitely should. We have a long time before the next elections. From petitioning for the Glass Steagall Act to repealing the NDAA it is completely possible. I the rest of the states that are Occupied will back us up.

 

As for endorsing candidates this may seem as something that is a bad idea because the Occupy movement does not associate itself with any political party. This is of course great. We also have to take into consideration how important it is to have a Congress that is for the People. All those who voted for the NDAA bill must not be voted in again since what they did is basically treason.

 

Obama has not and will not improve our country. All the Republican candidates are corrupt and have been bought by corporations. The only one I myself would vote for is Ron Paul. I do not agree with everything he says but he is the only one who wants to bring the troops home and strengthen our Defense. I will not go into further detail because I do not want this post to be to long so we all need to do some research. 

 

A problem I am seeing is that a lot of people do not know that the upcoming primary is not an open primary. It is up to us to go out and inform people out on the street. By canvassing we can raise funds for the candidates and inform people at the same time. 

 

For Occupy to Endorse any candidate there should be standards !

OBAMA
 
1. Like Romney Obama's gang of backers are one in the same:
 
Barack Obama (D) 2008 Top Contributors  
Goldman Sachs $1,013,091  
Microsoft Corp. $852,167  JPMorgan Chase & Co $808,799  
Citigroup Inc. $736,771  
UBS AG $532,674  
General Electric $529,855  
Morgan Stanley $512,232  


2. Obama gave a GET OUT OF JAIL PASS to Goldman Sachs by appointing Tim Geithner  US Treasury Secretary, Geithner and Bush’s US Treasury Secretary who was the former CEO of Goldman-Sachs Henry Paulson, orchestrated the bailout of the TOP OBAMA contributors listed above…during the October 2008 collapse… $800,000,000,000.00.
 
3.Obama never fired anyone from the SEC for their failure to protect Our Financial System, as the Financial Fraud the largest in World History destroyed globally an estimated $82 Trillion Dollars, millions of jobs lost, millions of businesses lost, millions of homes lost because of Obama’s Top Contributors Fraud. No one has gone to prison, not one of  Obama's Wall Street Gang of supporters not one!

4. Obama then gave the many of the same Banks billions more to use to Refinance Home Loans, most of that money ( our money ) was never used to support working Americans with their Mortgages the Banks as listed above just kept the money. 
NOTE: All the numbers on this page are for the 2008 election cycle and based on Federal Election Commission data released electronically on Monday, September 26, 2011.  


5. Obama …election speeches......2008......CHANGE  
.......THERE WAS NONE...and here are the facts: 
OBAMA KEPT EVERY WAR GOING, 3 more years for the Iraq War  


four more years for Afghanistan War, and Gitmo is still open for business. 
Obama like Richard Nixon kept the wars going, both were elected to end the wars…both Nixon and Obama failed the American Voter and kept the Wars going until just before the next Election. 


6. OBAMA KEPT most of Bush’s Top Staff ...where was the CHANGE?
Bush’s Secretary of Defense ……….... Gates....... JUST RECENTLY REPLACED 
Bush’s Military Joint Chief of Staff........ Mullen...... JUST RECENTLY REPLACED 
Bush’s Federal Reserve Chairman ...... Bernanke.. STILL THERE 
Bush’s FBI Director……….……........ Mueller..... STILL THERE 
Bush’s CIA Director …….………...... Hayden..... Now has Bush’s General  
Bush’s Homeland Security Secretary.. Chertoff...... RECENTLY REPLACED 


7. Obama, even when he controlled the Senate and the House with Reid and Pelosi failed and failed massively. We are now no further from financial Collapse then we were October 2008.  1,000 days plus have past and we are in a much big mess, public corruption on going, debt spending into the trillions, political kickbacks and insider stock trading, financial fraud by Wall Street unpunished....Where was the Change?
 
8. Obama has failed to Change!
 
 If Obama was running your business you would have fired him 2 years ago!

Obama and most of Congress

Submitted by Melinda on

Obama and most of Congress are complete failures and criminals. The sad thing is that it looks like Obama will probably re-elected. Most of the Republican candidates are a complete joke honestly. The Occupy Movement will really need to step in to stop all the criminals in the White House.
