Reply #6: We all get in the streets and we refuse to leave until they do their jobs

[meganmonkey]

It really may be that simple.

The question is, WHERE IS EVERYBODY???

I demonstrate at a busy corner at rush hour almost every day. At most there may be 5 other people with me, but usually there are only 3 or 4 of us. We talk to tons of people and almost every single one supports what we are doing, and they say they'll come back another day and join us, but they almost never do.

Why not?

Imagine thousands, tens of thousands, millions of people in the streets at the same time in cities across America. It happens in other democracies all the time. Think France and the students for a current example.

Are we waiting for the politicians to decide to return the power to the people? Because it isn't going to happen. We need to DEMAND it. And we need to refuse to function until things change. End of story.

I have a sign that reads:

99% OF POLITICIANS ARE IGNORING 99% OF THE PEOPLE

Not one person has disagreed with that one. Not one.

But they still won't stand with us for more than 5 minutes. WHY???
