27. Prolonged occupation of Washington DC

Sorry for bumping in here but I've been saying this for years.

Nothing is going to change until we have a prolonged occupation of Washington DC. I'm bringing my sleeping bag, I'm bringing a tent.

I'll meet you in October.

I hope the group who sings this will be there. I'll go just to hear them sing "The Whole F**king Thing's Coming Down."

[Fuddnik]

35. I'm going. I'm staying!

Got a tent, a sleeping bag, and an Amtrak ticket with an open return date.

Lyrics:

Hedge funds, derivatives, tea pot dome
wall street gambling, using your home
congress isn't gonna do a single fucking thing
because their campaign contributions all come attached to strings
The Democratic Party is a failing institution
what we need now is a real revolution

The United States is a global empire
The Factory owner is a fucking vampire
sucking wealth from the poor
committing wage theft
who will work for you when we've starved to death?

CHORUS: And the whole fucking thing is coming down x4

I work full time in a factory
but that doesn't mean I can afford to eat
I've got student loans, but no degree
so I'm gonna die working at a machine
No health insurance, we're all temporary hires
so if we get sick we'll just hurry up and die

wages so low we can't afford the rent
so we have to rely on the government
but the rich man doesn't want to pay his taxes
so the social programs, they'll all get the axe
we don't complain, we don't bitch
the only thing we've got left to eat is the rich

CHORUS: and the whole fucking thing is coming down x4

[Kalidurga]

14. Awesome..

itsa keeper.

[Paper Roses]

15. I was impressed with this video. Don't usually endorse things

[seeker4ever]

17. Wait, don't they know "Obama's got this." LOL,

[felix_numinous]

25. K. &. R.

I will contribute to the Oct 2011 coalition somehow.

Peace~ :patriot:

[jwirr]

50. I have said this elsewhere here but this thread is more to the point.

Extended protest in DC, yes. But there are a lot of us who are not going to be able to do that. So why not suggest ways we can participate at home: general strike on one day, unity shirts (like the red shirts we are seeing in WI) to wear to show unity to the idea, signs for windows, media unity program from liberal programs on both tv and radio, ads in media, etc. Things like this if they are coordinated with the actual protest will forge a feeling of unity and show the country just how big this really is.

It has to be big or no one listens. Also forget the weekends - congress goes home and ignores you.


The video is the best protest song I have heard since the 60s. Love it.

[craigmatic]

26. This song sucks after 2:10

[Uncle Joe]

28. Kicked and recommended.

[Mosaic]

30. The truth hurts

Every rich person in America needs to watch this short clip. Even middle class clueless people should watch it to learn what is really happening to them now.

[spooked911]

31. hell yeah!

I will be in DC on Oct 6th!

[dembotoz]

33. i love this, and i want to paste it to my facebook except the local dems

are angry enough with me now and i don't want to provoke them further.

[saorsa]

34. Thanks for this, this is what we need !

Music, dance, poetry and humor, just 4 things you have to have when you're facing the things we face now. Keep it coming !

[NorthCarolina]

36. Excellent! K&R

[placton]

37. whenever any form of government becomes destructive of

41. Nothing wrong with your spelling and grammar--very eloquent

I feel the same way. This is not the country I grew up in.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

43. Thank you

I wish there were more of you. "forgot how to love one another"

[Cobalt-60]

46. From Frank Capra's "Why we Fight"

I recommend these movies.
We face the same enemy, except now it has infiltrated our government.
These were produced during world war two explaining what a bunch of rotters the fascists were.
It came down to two worlds one of traditional american freedom and one of fascist slavery.
And the fascist world had to die.
The fascist world has to die.

[Fuddnik]

48. Welcome.

That's a hell of a first post. It should be an OP.

Yeah, I remember 1969 well. I was in boot camp when the man walked on the moon. Back then, one income in a good union job could buy a suburban house, support a family, and even put kids through college.

Things sure have gone to hell since then.

[ReadTomPaine]

52. This is a first post to be proud of...
