EVERYONE...It's Time For The Revolution To Start...Time To..


......HIT HIT THE STREET WITH OUR COLLECTIVE VOICES SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS AND REMIND those who are running this country which includes our politicians,Corporate CEO's and WALL STREET WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH AND WE THE PEOPLE WANT OUR COUNTRY AND OUR JUSTICE BACK


Once we hit the streets we must be like the Lybian Rebels and those in Egypt and not go back inside our homes until we have completed our task and take our country back. There has been to much SHIT that has eroded the USA into an arm pit and tonight's execution of Troy Davis I think should be a trigger for us to stand up for justice and equity.


Sorry for the CAPS they are an expression of my passion and frustration...the breaking point is pretty close I think for many....TIME FOR ACTION.

2. "Where were you when the revolution started?" "Telling people 'good luck with that.' "

9. It seems to me
That you don't have a very well-planned revolution in the works. C'mon, details!

11. An invitation for the weekend from #occupywallstreet
You have fought all the wars. You have worked for all the capitalists. 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.

Come take the square with us at Liberty Plaza.

This is the right strategy at the right time. We are organizing a solidarity protest in my hometown.

24. Pass.
You have fought all the wars.

I haven't fought in *any* ways.

You have worked for all the capitalists.

I've only worked for a few capitalists...far less than 1%.

You have wandered over all the countries.

Well, I've visited a lot of Western European countries, as well as Mexico, Costa Rica, and a lot of the Caribbean. That's about it, although many more countries are on my "eventually" list. I'd like to visit Antarctica, but realistically the only was that it's affordable to is spend a season working at McMurdo Base. Perhaps after I retire...

Have you harvested the fruits of your labors,

Yes.

the price of your victories?

Er...which ones are you speaking of?

Does the past comfort you?

Sure.

Does the present smile on you?

Yup!

Does the future promise you anything?

You bet.

Have you found a piece of land where you can live like a human being and die like a human being?

The mountains west of Denver. Can't recommend this area enough.

On these questions, on this argument, and on this theme, the struggle for existence, the people will speak.

Sure, why not?

Come take the square with us at Liberty Plaza.

Sorry, I have better things to do with my time. Y'all have fun now!

3. What we need is for a Kinetic Military action in support
the Rebels.

Wonder where that will come from?

7. Interesting...just add those who've lost their homes and savings to Wall St. and we'll really have
something...

8. Let it grow from every corner of every street in the country.
That's the way democracy is restored from plutocracy.

13. Beautiful.
That will be two occupation forces around Wall Street. This has the potential to be like Egypt or Spain, etc. I hope those two groups will coordinate. Strength in numbers!

But time will tell.

16. Similar things have happened
all over the globe this year. People are ready for change everywhere and it all starts globally with Wall Street, the cause of the current economic malaise.

21. It depends on whether you're speaking of
the Wall St. "occupation" or a revolution.

In the case of the former, I'm neither fur nor agin it; while I certainly grant that the protesters have a right to vent their anger in this manner, I recognize that it's essentially a bunch a children throwing a tantrum while the adults continue to work.

In the case of the latter, I'm agin it.

17. Hit the street screaming? How, exactly, will that get our country back?
Did hitting the streets screaming end either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars?

Obviously, it's going to take more than that.

What's it going to take?

23. At the very least we can get our people together at
every BofA in out towns and cities in solidarity with occupy wall street. While there, close your accounts (if you still have one)
and transfer to another local bank or credit union. If we did this across the country it would show we don't have to be ON
Wall Street to make an impact.

I'm only suggesting BofA because there's one everywhere but Wells Fargo any of the too big to fail institutions will do.

We have to do something.
