Peaceful Public Protests Coming To A City Hall Near You?
by Peter on December 11, 2008
The public disagreed with the $750 billion dollar bailout. Congress voted to do it anyway.
The public disagreed with the auto industry bailout. Congress moved forward and approved a $15 billion bailout to the Big 3, despite the following statistic:
In 2007 GM & Toyota sold approximately the same number of cars in the United States. *** GM lost -$38 billion & Toyota ~made~ +$18 billion in profits.
Thus far, since the financial crisis blossomed into a depression, our government has blown $8.2 trillion dollars, some of which is totally unaccounted for. Even the $750 billion dollars which was promised for the housing industry, and the public was assured of 100% transparency with the expenditures – is half gone. We have no idea exactly where the money went.
Today, Bloomberg reported that Goldman Sachs was advising their investors to “bet against” the prosperity of 11 states, essentially selling “credit-default swaps” that pay when, for instance, California defaults on their loans. If you see nothing wrong with that picture, contact me directly by telephone, and I’ll scream obscenities in your ear about why the government should not be pumping Goldman Sachs with billions of our taxpayer dollars!
The answer to the following question will help me determine whether to stay and fight for liberty, freedom & justice along side my fellow Americans, or leave the country entirely. Right now, I’m not feeling confident in our will to fight, particularly after seeing so much theft and virtually no public outrage in response to the previously mentioned atrocities.
Here’s my proposal, and I’d appreciate your candid feedback. Should we all put our foot down and take to the streets – peacefully? If so, I propose organizing a mass nationally synchronized protest whereby families march on their local Town/City Hall to demand that the government protect their citizen’s taxes. It would be much more difficult and costly for millions to march on Washington, DC; that’s most likely why it hasn’t happened to date.
Local protests are more convenient for all of us. We can send a message loud and clear to Washington, DC if we all show that we’re outraged, yet a very powerful, peaceful force to be reckoned with.
Please tell me if you’d be willing to participate in a peaceful march on your local City Hall. Your input & suggestions are mandatory! Don’t criticize or give me your biased left or right leaning spin or blame. The solution has to come from the ground up – the American People – and blaming either party locks us into a never ending spin cycle. Be productive with your comments, or don’t make any at all.
