The Republican Congress Has Occupied America -- Get Rid of the T-GOP

From The Pen -- November 16, 2011:

The Designated Meanies On The Debt Super Committee

Nothing would please us more than seeing the Democrats in Congress
finally stand up for the other 99% of we the people and reap the
rewards of that in the next election. And yet all signs are they are
pathologically determined to do the opposite, and only your voices
can shift the tide. The good news is that the Occupy Wall Street
movement has grown into a force they have been compelled to address.
But first the action page:

It is simply despicable that anybody is even talking about chopping
down Social Security and Medicare, when the whole, entire cause of
our current budgetary mess consists of endless foreign wars of
aggression and more and more tax breaks for those who least need it.
Instead they want to take away from those who have the least what
little they have.

We happen to believe the only purpose of the Debt Super Committee,
like the Gang of Six before it, was so that members of Congress could
try to wash their hands of whatever reprehensible proposal might come
out of there, as if to say, "It's just those 12 meanies who made us
do it." We hold each and every member of Congress responsible for
whatever damage they do.

Some of the things they have thrown out in all seriousness, like
cutting funds for preventive care, are utter policy lunacy. Every
dollar cut from preventive care now can only cost much more in
medical costs in the future. They are even talking about decimating
what are called "durable medical equipment" funds. In other words,
take the crutches away from Grandma and wheelchairs from the
handicapped. What do you have to say about that?

Students of history will know that the only reason the original New
Deal even happened at all was that people were in the streets.
Remember Hooverville? Well, there are people in the streets now, and
they are going to stay there.

FDR was no inherent altruist, himself a patrician if the truth be
known. But as a politician he recognized that the American people
were at their limit, just as they are today. He said, "Make me do
it." That is the only way any change for the better can happen now.
YOU must demand that the politicians pay heed, and not just settle
for weak bleatings about good intentions, never to be fulfilled..

And after you submit the action page you are welcome to request a
free copy one of the new "Occupy America" bumper stickers. Please
note we HAVE corrected the minor bug in the form that was affecting
certain IE browsers, and thank you for all your helpful reports. So
if the form did not work for you before please try again, because it
will definitely go through now.

Since the Occupy Wall Street movement has truly spread nationwide,
what we did was combine the word "Occupy" in big letters with a map
of the US fashioned from a billowing flag. It's bold, it's symbolic,
and you can have one for no charge, not even shipping, if you just
submit the form above now.
