The Occupy Movement and Americans rights

I watch every day the events unfolding all over the country and the occupy movement that has really taken the country by storm.
I see that MOST cities have decided to have a hands off approach to the protests as long as the persons involved act in a reasonable and responsible manner. There are those few, protesters and law enforcement alike, that have serious behaviour problems.
The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This outlines the proper access and also gives the protesters the proper guidelines that should be followed when Americans are engaged in protesting.
I implore all protesters to read this and truly understand the our forefathers were protesters themselves. They had lived their lives under a Monarchy and had had enough. It was a different circumstance and a really different time then, but the idea was the same. Stand up as a group and express peaceably if possible your dissatisfaction with the powers that try to control you.
As Americans we do have rights, and not the least of them is to be able to express our dissatisfaction with the status quo. We all must remember though, that, these expressions must be peaceable and organized or the entire movement becomes nothing more than an expression of anger and discord.

Do not let the big business and government pressure restrain you. Restrain yourselves and keep on expressing your dissatisfaction, but do so in an orderly and organized manner. You must not quit, but you must be able to control those within your ranks that would do harm to your cause by acting in a violent and rougish manner.

I have taken this campaign and the related ideas that I have very seriously and I ask you to do the same. Keep the pressure on them, but please do not let members of the group cheapen the effect.
Remember, our country was started with the idea that Americans have right to govern themselves, let us control ourselves and effect some REAL change in this country, by using the power of numbers, not the effect of violence. We all can effect change and return the control of this FREE country back to the citizens that live in it.
I ask for you to let me try to be that new leadership as I am one of the millions that have had enough of career politicians serving only big business and themselves while disregarding those that elected them.
This is our country, not just theirs.   "Take it Back"

Dictators, jobs and the occupy movement.

So it has been a little while since my last post. I thought I would give you a little insight as to what I have been up to.
Had to head out of town to work. It is really different in a new environment and surroundings. I guess I should get used to it when I hope to move into the White House.
Working out of town is not only a stressful thing for me, but for my family as well. I have to be grateful that my sweetie and our kids are able to keep it together while I have to be away. Glad I get to come home once in a while for sure. I miss being at home everyday, but it is the way of the new economy.
I have seen people that have to make the same sacrifice as far as being away from home just to make ends meet. It is difficult to have to make that sacrifice and hard on the family as well, but the new economy dictates that you have to take the work you can get because so many Americans are truly suffering.
On the other hand, it has given me a chance to see a different state and cities that I had never been to. The people here are really pretty nice and the things that they find important are really the same as they are at home.
They need jobs, a place to live and the security of knowing that they can provide for their family just like at home. Some things never change even with the geographics.
The news I have seen shows the frustration is spreading all over the country. The Occupy movement has spread to nearly every metropolitan area country wide. I truly understand the frustration that they feel and the idea behind the movement shows the distrust that the average citizen has for big business and the banking industry. The banking industry received bailouts and the average citizen paid dearly for that. They look at those companies and see what they recieved, then the people get a forclosure notice from the bank. They can't refinance, or restructure loans due to their job situations, so the banks just end up being property owners and the people that bailed them out get nothing.
I really feel that a revolution of sorts is starting. Not the guns blazing type that you picture from history, but more of a, "we have had enough" type of conflict. Do not give up. The country is made up of millions of independant thinking minds with a mass influence that can not be discounted forever. Stand up for what you believe and make your voice heard. I am not saying become lawless, but hold on dearly to your ideals and keep the motivation level high. Do not let the big money hoarders silence you.
Now on to the killing of Gadhafi. I see that it has been done again. I see that here is another martyred out of touch leader, dead. I fail to see though how this is such a winning deal for us as Americans.
I remember in the not so far off past where our all knowing government supported this ruthless person, and now suddenly they seem to have forgotten what they did in the past.
I understand the global stability is of the upmost importance, but, I for one remember things longer that a week along with the headlines. Our government supports at times regimes that commit unbelieveable atrocities on their own people and when you call the government on it, they claim that we as people must misunderstand the intent.
Supporting a ruthless regime, government or dictatorship, no matter the circumstances, should not be permitted and definately not forgotten by us as citizens in this country. Our leaders are responsible for all of this action and if they are not acting in a manner that we feel is correct, we all have a responsibility to remove them from the office we elect them to.
Well, I think that is enough for now. I look forward to getting back home and resuming my gathering of signatures. I refuse to give up on this as I think I truly have something to offer America and it's citizens. A fresh and grassroots perspective. Something that has been sorely lacking for the last many administrations.
A perspective that really understands what it feels like to work, need and want in modern America.
Persevere and triumph, never give up.
