Call for General Strike

[InterestedParticipant]

Opinion piece on Bailout in today's San Francisco Chronicle calls for General Strike (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/09/23/ED0J132MOV.DTL)


Our government and its owners appear to be testing how much the American public will tolerate. A few years ago, no one could have imagined that the silent majority would quietly accept thefts of this magnitude from a government that stopped tiny payments to single mothers with poor children in the name of welfare reform because the program's $10 billion cost was breaking the federal budget.


This isn't socialism, it's fascism.


Our enemy has revealed itself, and it is our own government. The concentration of such outrageous power in government - the power to take the equivalent of half our annual federal budget and give it to anonymous investors - is nearly reaching the point at which it may not be revoked.


Because the American public has not been introduced to methods for controlling its government for generations for generations, I will suggest one called a general strike. This fundamental democratic power is where everyone decides to send a message to the government by not going to work, to school, shopping, nowhere.

I would love a general strike, but wouldn't that hurt our already shit Economy?

So it kinda wouldn't help us out.

IT would break it to the point where we remake it in the eyes of truely an open market geared towards listening to the public demands and supply...

It doesn't matter at this point. We're all going to be hurt by this, and more so if we don't stop them NOW! Something like this would really get the point across!

1. Pressure the media and it's advertisers
2. Call, visit, fax, and email the house and the senate
3. Do this general strike
4. What else?

5. Any General Strike must be peaceful. Alert everyone to agent prevaricators who have or will infiltrate any General Strike or March on Washington. Make the tyrants behave like tyrants. And record anything.

Ok, lets do it then.

What day?

[Deborah K]

Ok, lets do it then.

What day?

We need at least a week to get the word out. We need a video that can go viral and we need to hit every forum, blog, and all the MSM that we intend to do this.

October 2nd? Same day as the first VP debate?
And Ghandi's International Day of Non Violence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Day_of_Non-Violence)

[thehighwaymanq]

Bump

[RonPaulVolunteer]

Nov 5th.

[thehighwaymanq]

Nov 5th.

That wouldn't be a protest for the bailout because Nov. 5th is in 40 something days.

Most of the people who agree with the bailout will forget any of this happened by then.

That might be too late, but I certainly like the imagery around that date!

Personally, I can't think of anything more important that we should do now. This is something that can bring all people together from all political perspectives.

It is a MUST BEE!

[thehighwaymanq]

BUMP!

Let's talk about this idea.

[Micah Dardar]

Better to have our recession now than leave a worse one for our kids. I'm ready for the ride! Let's get this over with! When do we revolt?

[InterestedParticipant]

BUMP!

Let's talk about this idea.

I think we need one really good PDF flyer, and a really simply website where people can signup for email and text msg alerts. That's all.

The main thing is getting people together to distribute the message so this goes viral.

Yeah, we must DIGG it, blog it, hopefully get it on the C4L and Dailypaul Blogs, make youtube videos.

Have we thought of an exact date yet?

None of the above will do any good if we continue to comply with our masters. We slaves need to simply stop complying with the bullshit. All the faxing and emailing campaigns in the world will not do a damn bit of good, they do what they want despite the American people. Changing D.C. is impossible, now we must simply stop complying with their demands.

Also, buy some gold!

Ah, no, trust me they won't forget at all, because this is only the start. There are more and bigger bailouts yet to come.

I think that Oct 2nd is a wonderful date. The Ghandi image is perfect for this.

This is really vague. What do you propose?

NOT TRUE!! We did it last year and stopped the amnesty bill!!

[RideTheDirt]

Nov 5th.
"Remember remember the 5th of November"
*puts on mask and waits for the train*

[thehighwaymanq]

Are we just going to go all out on Nov. 5th?

General Strike/Money bomb/Fax bomb/Sign bomb/DC Protest?

[thehighwaymanq]

Bump!

[thehighwaymanq]

I was looking up stuff on general strikes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_General_Strike_1926

How about we do the General Strike from November 4 and 5th.

November 4th= 2008 Presidential Elections
November 5th= Guy Fawkes Day

It would be a double punch to the Establishment for two days, and along with the money-bombs and everything else that will go down I really think this could be effective.

And I'm expecting the C4L to outline something for us for November 5th also, once October 1st comes around. But I could be wrong.

[ceakins]

Ya but how is that going to stop the bailout? We need to do it sooner than later.

[ronpaulforprez2008]

November is way too late.

Beside, Guy Fawkes provides terrible imagery. I know everyone loves the movie V for Vendetta, but what the movies doesn't say is that Guy Fawkes was setup by the elite ....it was a False Flag OP and he was the patsy.

Oct 2nd is perfect, and it totally in alignment with Ghandi's message of nonviolent civil disobedience.

[thehighwaymanq]

Ya but how is that going to stop the bailout? We need to do it sooner than later.

Yeah, but we wouldn't have enough time to get the word out in order to have the strike this week.

I'd rather build it up and have it in weeks than have a smaller turnout this week.

We'll need to do it right away. Within one week.

[thehighwaymanq]

Bump!

[Deborah K]

okay, if we're serious about this then I think we need to contact the writer of that article in the OP. His name is Sean Olender and he also has a law practise. Looked him up and here is his website. http://www.usvisa-law.com/ Called and LM on his VM.

[thehighwaymanq]

Well, this died out.

Come on! We were talking October 2nd, or maybe November 5th.

Look how much of an impact the calls are making, look how quick Slave Uprising started, lets work on this along with the other possible projects.

Let's make ends meet, and get things going!

Bump!
