Ya know, this bill that will suspend habeas corpus and repeal the federal rules of criminal procedure, I am just dumbfounded that Obama is going to sign it. It is against everything he ran for in 2008. That he takes all this corporate money for his campaign speaks to how much he has been bought and paid for by the 1%.
As I have said before, the longer we choose the lesser of two evils for president, the longer 2 evils will be our only choices. We need stand up and reject the two party system. The 99 Declaration committee is actively working to get delegates from every congressional district to come together in Philadelphia on July 4th 2012 and vote on a list of demands to put to the president and congress. Let's throw our support behind them. They are the best hope for our voices to be heard.

Right now their site,
www.the99declaration.org, is having technical issues but they will get it resolved soon. They will be voting on delegates in 96 days.

THE PLAN
1. Elect one man and one woman from each of the 435 congressional districts in March 2012 plus six delegates from Washington,D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Territories. Voting will be online, possibly telephone and at local polling places.
2. Between March 2012 and July 2012, these delegates will draft a list of grievances. Candidates running in the primaries and general election will be called upon to state their positions on the issues being debated by the 876 delegates.
3. During the week of July 4, 2012, the 876 delegates will meet in Philadelphia at a National General Assembly to ratify and sign a final petition for a redress of grievances and solutions and plan a potential new independent party to run in the 2014 mid-term election.
4. The ratified petition for a redress of grievances shall be served upon all three branches of government and all candidates running for federal political office in 2012.
5. The National General Assembly will then wait a reasonable period of time for the 113th Congress, President and Supreme Court to act upon and redress the grievances listed in the petition. Political candidates in the 2012 election will be asked whether they support the petition.
6. If the grievances are not redressed and solutions implemented within a reasonable time, the National General Assembly will reconvene electronically or in person and organize a new independent political party to run for all of the 435 House seats and 33 Senate seats in 2014.
