1. Here you go full post

THURSDAY, OCT 29th
NATIONAL STRIKE FOR
THE AMERICAN MIDDLE AND WORKING CLASSES!!!

TELL OUR GOVERNMENT, THE MEDIA, THE CORPORATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO TAKE OVER OUR COUNTRY THAT THE MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE HAD IT!

Bank CEOS and other executives have bankrupted their companies—and then come running to us for help.

Insurance and pharmaceutical corporations play games with our health and the well-being of our loved ones and focus only on their bottom line.

OUR treasury is run by former Goldman Sachs executives with an open door to Wall St which is allowed to write their own regulation and STEAL billions of our money—-after depleting our pensions. They are not required to account for the money—and are continuing to pay HUGE bonuses to the THIEVES who broke our economy. And no one is prosecuted.

This is economic treason.

Lobbyists and corporations buy our congress and senators to vote for THEIR interests, not OURS.

Our new administration is, sadly, allowing lobbyists and corporations to dictate our legislation and our future.

The top income bracket as recently as 1980 used to pay 70% income tax—and NOW pay LESS than the middle and working classes who have borne the brunt of carrying this economy too long.

THERE ARE NO JOBS.
WAGES HAVE STAGNATED FOR OVER TWO DECADES, and with a too-small job market, wages have fallen even further and employers are taking advantage and exploiting the situation.

ENOUGH!

WE NEED A NATIONAL STRIKE!!

Because of our current Depression and in remembrance of the Stock Market Crash of 1929, the date is:

*** THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29th FOR THIS STRIKE. ***

- NO WORK.
- NO SPENDING.
- DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT DAY.
- DO NOT SHOW UP FOR WORK.

The people in other countries take to the streets when their government and societies are corrupt. We must do this, too.

It’s time for another revolution that will remind us of our power AND remind these criminals why they need to FEAR US.

WE are the economy. WE are the government. This country belongs TO US.

*** THURSDAY, OCT 29th.***
NATIONAL STRIKE OF THE AMERICAN
MIDDLE & WORKING CLASSES

ENOUGH!!

PASS THIS ON …

3. Thank you, nadin. I missed this somehow. I will participate.

I've thought for a long time that a 'buy-nothing' day(s) with concurrent work stoppage would get their attention. In shipping and transportation especially. And if it is repeated intermittently, for as long as necessary to effect change that's helpful to the population.

4. I will as well... trust me I will

I have in every one of them

11. It would be awesome, but it'll never happen in this country.

12. Well I am going to stay home and not buy anything that day...

I don't care if anyone else does or not. At least I will know I made an effort.
