Honestly, why not give up your rights and allow corporate America to control information? SOPA, ACTA, PIPA, -they were all made at the call of America’s entertainment industry. Not only would these bills control their information, but it would restrict YOURS. Major record companies continuously exclaim that they are hurting because of piracy and file sharing, and hey must be...

Help with Bigger Voice
What would it Take?
I have a simple question that I would really like answered. A few weeks ago in the middle of the night, a question came to mind that I can’t let go. The American economy is in tough shape right now, how tough is debatable, however I think most would agree times are difficult to navigate. It’s my belief that our only turnaround is to lower the unemployment rate across the...

Vicious criticism of OWS. →
Posted earlier here in a serif font, if that’s your pleasure.] Occupy Wall Street has slid down to its fulcrum, their methods now at violent disfavor with the police who are forcibly, almost perniciously clearing them out of the primary occupation zones. [Although I find it interesting that in the view of the public, police forces are curiously detached from the executive government that...

Labor Unions Stand With OccupyMN →
Protesters said they believe change begins with lower compensation for bankers, less profits for banks, and bailouts for students with loans and home owners with mortgages.
The protesters said the movement that will change disparity in America forever must start now.
How Can the occupation move forward?
I think one of the biggest things about the “Occupy” movement is that it needs to diversify! The occupations are great and getting a ton of a attention, but we really need to do more things like Bank Transfer Day are great! Another new one sprouting up is called Occupy Black Friday! You guys should check it out! http://www.facebook.com/OccupyBF

Protests Pick Up Steam; Will Obama Get Burned? →
Obama describes the protests as a left-wing Tea Party, but that’s far from clear.
“At this point, we’re staying away from political actions and really focusing on building awareness,” protester Ashley Lowe says.
Unlike the Tea Party, which was willing to walk precincts and field candidates in a successful effort to push the Republican Party to the right, Occupy Wall...

Whiteness and the 99%
I would love to hear a discussion on some of the issues this article raises. I have yet to see them addressed in MN or the larger Occupy movement.
Banks Loan Modification Scam
Trial loan modifications are the way banks stretch out the process and pretend to be helping the borrower, when in reality they are killing your credit rating. We have been trying to get a loan modification from our lender, Citimortgage for over two years. Citi is, of course, one of the “too big to fail” banks that we bailed out, and who are now reporting $3.0 billion in profits. We...
