WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA do hereby give notice..........
  • freeanddemocratic October 2011 +1 -1
    WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA do hereby give notice to Wall Street, Banks, Corporations, and the politicians in Congress and all across America that we are demanding an end to gridlock in our state and national goverments. We demand that steps be taken to make Congress and goverment entities all across America accountable to the people who elected them. We demand an end to greedy politicians who are in office all across America and be responsible to the people who elect them and not Special-interests, Corporations, Banks, Wall Street or other entities that do not elect them. We are proposing a 13-Step plan to restore our Goverment, Democracy and Economic Recovery back to America! We intend to take back our goverment, and have the masses rule again by one-man, one-vote rule rather than corporations and special-interests! WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEMAND CHANGE AND DEMAND IT NOW1

    13 STEP PLAN TO RESTORE ECONOMIC RECOVERY IN AMERICA

    1) We demand that Banks and other financial institutions lend and make more money available to consumers, small businesses, students, homeowners and other to make it possible to to borrow money at reasonable rates. We lent them the money to save them from financial collapse in 2002 from taxpayer money, we are now demanding that they now use that money instead of hoarding it in their vaults. We demand that they be held accountable to the taxpayers and consumers who bailed them out in 2008!
    2) We demand an end to tax breaks,subsides to the rich, corporations, oil companies, farm and other subsidies at the expense of the American Taxpayer and American Citizens!
    3) Enact laws to make it easier to punish and convict CEO's and others who pillage,plunder and recklessly use our money in order to gamble with our money to make themselves wealthy at the expense of shareholders and others.
    4) Stop tax breaks and incentives to American companies and Corporations that let's American Companies ship American Companies and jobs overseas!
    5) Hike taxes to those who make more than a million dollars a year.
    6) Repeal Bush2 tax breaks to the rich and corporations!
    7) Save Social Security and Medicare and restore funding to those programs. Bush2 raided the Social Security Trust Fund in 2000 to fund his massive tax breaks to the rich and corporations and fund his endless wars in the Middle East. They ( the Republicans and the Tea Party) are now refusing to pay that money back to the workers of America who paid that money through payroll taxes and now want to end Social Security and Medicare, We Say NO!
    8) Pass job bills that are going through Congress and across state houses all across America. Pass and enact bills to create more jobs and stop gridlock in Washington and the state houses all across America!
    9) Overhaul the nation's tax codes so that corporations and the rich pay their fair share in taxes and not unlike G.E. pay no taxes while getting back in millions in tax refunds for tax loopholes created by corrupt politicians who do their bidding and in the pockets of the rich and corporations!
    10) Give Students more grants and money to go to school. Give more money to lending institutions so that students and their parents to get more money to be able to attend college. This country was built on it's ability for it's young people to be able to go to college and become productive and educated citizens. We become stronger with an educated college force and make America more able to compete Internationally with other countries.
    11) Give Unions and workers more protection from greedy corporations and others who would rather pay a foreign worker slave wages rather than pay an American Worker decent wages and benefits. Union workers and American Workers ( Non-Union, teachers, goverment workers,etc.) are the backbone of America! Let us not forget that they are the ones who built this country to what it is today!
    12) Give the unemployed extended benefits to feed and help them while they look for work. Extend Educational benefits to them while receiving U.E. benefits so they can go back to school and get more training or a college diploma in order to better themselves and contribute taxes.
    13) Support Public Servants who service the public whose jobs are on the line due to cuts in spending so the rich and corporations can keep the generous tax cuts given to them by Bush2 and Republicans. Protect Teachers, Goverment Workers, Firemen, Police, etc. from cuts in spending and protect their jobs from those who want to destroy the Middle Class in favor of the top1%!

    EITHER YOU'RE WITH US OR AGAINST US1 IF YOU ARE AGAINST US WE WILL VOTE THOSE POLITICIANS WHO ARE IN THE POCKETS OF CORPORATIONS, WALL STREET, SPECIAL-INTERESTS, OIL COMPANIES AND THE TOP 1% ELITISTS WHO NOW CONTROL THIS COUNTRY! We will start a national voter drive to sign up millions to oust those politicians who have turned their backs on all working American Workers and the Middle Class! We demand change in state houses all across America and in Washington! We demand and end to gridlock and vote for job bills now in Congress, we will vote those politicians who fail to vote for jobs in America! WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEMAND CHANGE AND WE WANT IT NOW!

    My computer keeps redirecting my comments to Forbes, cloudfront.net, Banks and other websites that keeps me from posting comments on this website. Is it possible attempts by others to sabotage our comments from the public? I wrote up several drafts before this draft was finally found as a "saved draft" on this website. My 13 Step Plan to Economic Recovery and Restoring Democracy To Goverment failed on this draft to mention our service men, who are also goverment employees and ex-servicemen who are also having a hard time finding jobs. I propose that every weekend from now on until the weather gets too cold, families and their children, the Middle Class, unemployed workers and Americans, Union and American Workers, Teachers, Goverment Workers, Firemen, Policemen, the retired receiving Social Security and Medicare, Students,Consumers, Americans with home and credit card default loans, Servicemen and ex-Servicemen and young people march on the fifty state capitals across the nation every weekend and on New York and Washington and all across America to demand change and end gridlock, demand jobs and steps to fix the economy! A Million American People on May01, World Workers Day, MayDay Marches on Washington and New York or your local town or city, to demand more jobs and workers rights! Then other marches on Juyl04 and September 17th when our Constitution was adopted on September 17th, 1787! We need to organize marches everyday, weekend for families and their children, the Middle Class, march for CHANGE! We need now to start to organize vote registration drives to sign up millions of Americans who are fed up with our DO NOTHING CONGRESS and stand in the way of reform and fair laws to protect the Middle Class and American Workers.We need to start now organizing to take back America in 2012 and beyond! We need to tell those in Congress that if you fail to vote for job programs, fail to repeal tax cuts to the rich and corporations, fail to repeal laws that enable American Companies with liberal tax cuts and incentives to ship American factories and jobs overseas at the expense of American Workers, fail to repeal the repeal tax cuts and subsidies to oil companies and rich farmers, fail to pass laws that protect American Workers, Students, Teachers, Firemen, Goverment Workers, Social Security and Medicare, Military Personnel, Union Workers, Consumers, Students, children, the elderly, the poor and Middle Class America, we will vote those politicians out of office come 2012!
