MAKE IT ALL STOP !!

When this Occupy Wall Street movement has played its course and the marchers have marched and the signs have been carried and those who have been chosen have had their moments on the media outlets and all realize that nothing.... nothing has been done yet by Congress and the Attorney General then it is time to stop.

Go to the store and buy a weeks worth of food and then 'just stay home' for a day, 2 days, 3 days or even more.

We the people have the power.. to make it all stop. Nothing moves. Planes do not fly, taxis do not pick up passengers, trains stop, subways stop, trucks stop, ships do not get loaded or unloaded. No body goes to work not even the Doorman at the exclusive 5 star hotel.

Yes that is correct.. Just make it all stop. Make it all stop until the Congress passes campaign finance reform, a 'real jobs bill' say $1.3 trillion initial investment by the government and the Justice Department begins substantive investigation and prosecution of Predatory Lending practices and Fraudulent Banking and Financial Transactions that got this country in to this situation in the first place.

The only way these 535 folks up in Washington DC are going to listen to us is if we just make it come to a screeching halt for as long as it takes.

Start a Block party in the street in front of your homes. Get to know your neighbors. Make it last for a couple of days or more.

Get creative.... Show our 'Solidarity'. MAKE IT ALL STOP !!

Otherwise in 6 months the situation is going to get even worse and then what? More signs and marches and Media moments??

But then, what do I know, I'm just an old ridiculous 'radical' from the 60's.

Pass the JOBS BILL NOW Boehner.. Doh!

Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult

http://www.truth-out.org/goodbye-all-reflections-gop-operative-who-left-cult/1314907779

John P. Judis sums up the modern GOP this way:

"Over the last four decades, the Republican Party has transformed from a loyal opposition into an insurrectionary party that flouts the law when it is in the majority and threatens disorder when it is the minority. It is the party of Watergate and Iran-Contra, but also of the government shutdown in 1995 and the impeachment trial of 1999. If there is an earlier American precedent for today's Republican Party, it is the antebellum Southern Democrats of John Calhoun who threatened to nullify, or disregard, federal legislation they objected to and who later led the fight to secede from the union over slavery."

A couple of years ago, a Republican committee staff director told me candidly (and proudly) what the method was to all this obstruction and disruption. Should Republicans succeed in obstructing the Senate from doing its job, it would further lower Congress's generic favorability rating among the American people. By sabotaging the reputation of an institution of government, the party that is programmatically against government would come out the relative winner.

Seniors "Strap on your work boots".

"He tells seniors to strap on their work boots for an extra five years of labor before they can retire at 70 years of age."

Yet 'John' can retire with full benefits and a $24 million cut from American's Social Security so he and his colleague's medical records can be digitized /computerized. His $Retirement will be a hefty 80% of the highest 3yrs salary.

Voted himself a raise 0f $3400 in 2004.

John Boehner "Let them eat cake"

Congressman John Boehner; Rebuked-- Once Again
For Immediate Release: July 1, 2010

Once again, we must ask…where do you start with John Boehner since he finds it impossible to open his mouth without uttering nonsense or offending millions of Americans? In recent days he has defended BP, derided unemployed workers while denying them essential benefits and this week he tells seniors to strap on their work boots for an extra five years of labor before they can retire at 70 years of age. Maybe he can hire a few of our senior citizens as caddies for himself and his lobbyist friends--- thereby assuring them of at least 119 days of work annually at luxurious locations in exotic locales and-- best of all-- it’s on the corporate tab.
