WaterMan Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 https://occupywallst.org/ This is the fifth communiqué from the 99 percent. We are occupying Wall Street. On September 21st, 2011, Troy Davis, an innocent man, was murdered by the state of Georgia. Troy Davis was one of the 99 percent. Ending capital punishment is our one demand. On September 21st, 2011, four of our members were arrested on baseless charges. Ending police intimidation is our one demand. On September 21st, 2011, the richest 400 Americans owned more than half of the country's population. Ending wealth inequality is our one demand. On September 21st, 2011, we determined that Yahoo lied about occupywallst.org being in spam filters. Ending corporate censorship is our one demand. On September 21st, 2011, roughly eighty percent of Americans thought the country was on the wrong track. Ending the modern gilded age is our one demand. On September 21st, 2011, roughly 15% of Americans approved of the job Congress was doing. Ending political corruption is our one demand. On September 21st, 2011, roughly one sixth of Americans did not have work. Ending joblessness is our one demand. On September 21st, 2011, roughly one sixth of America lived in poverty.

On September 21st, 2011, America had military bases in around one hundred and thirty out of one hundred and sixty-five countries. Ending American imperialism is our one demand. On September 21st, 2011, America was at war with the world. Ending war is our one demand. On September 21st, 2011, we stood in solidarity with Madrid, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Madison, Toronto, London, Athens, Sydney, Stuttgart, Tokyo, Milan, Amsterdam, Algiers, Tel Aviv, Portland and Chicago. Soon we will stand with Phoenix, Montreal, Cleveland and Atlanta. We're still here. We are growing. We intend to stay until we see movements toward real change in our country and the world. You have fought all the wars. You have worked for all the bosses. You have wandered over all the countries. Have you harvested the fruits of your labors, the price of your victories? Does the past comfort you? Does the present smile on you? Does the future promise you anything? Have you found a piece of land where you can live like a human being and die like a human being? On these questions, on this argument, and on this theme, the struggle for existence, the people will speak. Join us. We speak as one. All of our decisions, from our choice to march on Wall Street to our decision to continue occupying Liberty Square, were decided through a consensus based process by the group, for the group.

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 You people sound like my father way back in the day. Damm hippie protesters, why don't they cut their hair and get a job . While I don't believe in everything they want, I do the effort. It's good to see this generation put down the latte, disconnect the Ipod and actually care about something.

cliaz Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I suggest that everyone go out and buy a black toilet and install bright lights in your bathroom. The next time you are pooping, lift up your nutsack and look down into the water - you will see a mirror image of your butthole pooping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 aw cmon. The hippies refusing to cut their hair, get a job or even bathe was MUCH better; if they had, the Grateful Dead would've never made it. Let the kids play their little game pretending to be growed up and imagining anyone cares what they say. Goodness knows some of y'all do it enough.

bushwacked Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Funny I haven't seen anything about this on CNN... 20,000 people according to this article protesting against Wall Street is just not newsworthy. A couple hundred or so tea partiers with a hundrerd port-a-potties are angry that they have to pay taxes and there's a black man in the White House, however, is national news. Liberal Media!
