"Thanks to an anonymous Idea I present to you why we need to Mic Check!
There was so many videos out there so I wanted to put most of it together for you to show you the implications that America is facing and nothing is being done about it until now.
So my message is to ask everyone to Mic check their Community meetings, any form of speech given, get the word out, this is not over.
Occupy Earth"

(Slick presentation - Damning content) Bravo!

4. Yes let's fall for that plan by the right wing to kick them all out.
But that will only apply to liberals...the right wingers will vote Republican no matter what we do...and thus again win power and we will find ourselves with a shrunken and ineffective Democrat party once again.
Wake up people...you are being plaid for a sucker.

7. Don't "kick em all out"
It makes no sense. Try to be a little careful. Vote for progressive policies, and follow through by just making sure that the representatives vote how you want them to before you vote for them again. It's really not that hard. That's it. If you have a Senator or Member of Congress you you like, why would want to throw them out? It makes no sense.

10. It makes sense to the Obama haters.
Because the idea here is if you through them all out Obama will go too...meanwhile on the local level the right wingers will vote solid GOP no matter if they have an incumbent or not....so they will retain theirs and get some of ours.

3. Just a guess here, but

I suspect there will be millions of people on the street protesting this institutionalized corruption before this nation is straightened out. If millions do not participate in OWS, change will never come about.

When we elected a majority of Democrats to congress in 2006 and 2008 I imagined they would look into voting irregularities, voting machine discrepancies and other questions, like those in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. But these new Democrats were not interested in the slightest.

After we elected President Obama I imagined he would seek to rein in corporate abuses. Like the financial services industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the insurance industry and the military industrial complex. It was all my imagination

New laws must be crafted by caring people -decent citizens that actually do love the nation. Those using money to influence legislation or elections must be dealt with swiftly and decisively and subjected to the most severe penalties.

These bad people are the REAL threat to America's security, not some Muslims living in Afghanistan.

12. Very well done. I love how the guy at the end tried to stop
the OWS woman from stating the facts. OWS has gone into their lives showing them they cannot escape the people anymore. And since Congress has done nothing to protect the people from these financial predators, it is now up to the people themselves. They are very courageous, and deserve all the support we can give.
