It's been a long weekend! Protests, marches, general assemblies, sign making, and our voices are hoarse! It's been difficult, but we've been able to finally establish a viable wi-fi connection in the living room. We've come a long way, in most respects. There's still only two of us but that doesn't matter. Two people in the right make the majority. Also, we're sitting here in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Seattle! Yes! Let's make some change in this country and turn things around!
In addition to getting this blog up and running now that we have access to internet, follow the breaking news at Occupy Couch at our twitter http://twitter.com/#!/OccupyCouch01
You can also send Michael an email, he is head of the Legal Workgroup, at OccupyCouchLegalWorkgroup@gmail.com
In the beginning, I was sitting around at my place and Michael was sitting around at his parents house, as most 29 year olds do, and we were watching Occupy Wall Street on the internet. Then it hit us, why should the people at Wall Street be the only ones fighting for positive change in the world! We could fight for positive change too! We got in the car to go to Seattle and find some activists there to work with and we found Occupy Seattle! Lo and behold, the movement was already happening!
We were participating in Occupy Seattle when Michael had the revelation that the evil behind Big Business is actually Big Family. I agree. We weren't sure what to do but then Michael had the idea to start an occupation at the root, at his own parents house, to end the corruption of Big Family. The Occupy movement is a large one. It is a diverse one. It is an encompassing one. It is a huge one. And now it is time to join with our brothers and sisters occupying the world for the end of Big Business and strike down the father of Big Business; Big Family!
Since the beginning of time, children have been held down by their moms and dads. They've been oppressed in the family. They haven't had equal rights. They haven't had an equal share of the wealth. They don't even get an equal share of the house! It's no wonder that CEO's go to work and exploit their own workers, and even the whole planet. They've spent their entire adult lives exploiting their family! This was born from the exploitation they experienced when they were children! THE VICIOUS CYCLE HAS GOT TO STOP!
WE ARE HERE TO STAY! UNTIL WE GET WHAT WE WANT! AND WHAT WE WANT IS THE END OF CORRUPTION IN BIG FAMILY! JOIN US IN SOLIDARITY! CHILDREN OF THE WORLD, UNITE! THIS IS A GLOBAL MOVEMENT! WE ARE THE 33%!
