REAL NEWS "OCCUPYING" CONGRESS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN "OCCUPY WALL STREET " <[email protected]> (Common sense, politically incorrect newsletter to 15,005 subscribers) Our mission is to get our readers thinking about current events. "OCCUPYING" CONGRESS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN "OCCUPY WALL STREET " "Occupiers" Around the World Protest Cultural Differences and Repressive Governments The dedicated "Occupy" movement campers at the Wall Street area and parks in other major cities should realize that their main problem is Congress, not Wall Street. They could accomplish much more by picketing Congress in Washington , DC and also the local offices of their U.S. Representative and two U.S. Senators to demand Congressional Term Limits. "Occupy Wall Street" has little effect on Wall Street billionaires because Wall Street business is mostly done electronically through assigned seats on the stock exchange without walk-in business. The Occupation is only hurting surrounding merchants. The initiative for congressional reform must originate from the American People ourselves. Only we have the power to compel Congress to pass an amendment that curbs their own powers and political career ambitions. Occupier groups presently have widely different objectives. Voters strongly support term limits for all members of Congress but don't think it's very likely the national legislators will voluntarily vote to limit how long they can serve. Passage of the Constitutional Amendment requires a two-thirds vote of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and followed by passage of the voters in 37 states. Not only do 89 percent of Americans say they distrust government to do the right thing, but 74 percent say the country is on the wrong track and 84 percent disapprove of Congress -- warnings for Democrats and Republicans alike. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 71% of Likely U.S. Voters favor establishing term limits for all members of Congress. Just 14% oppose setting such limits, and 15% are undecided about them. We maintain that if term limits are desirable and necessary for our Presidents, as well as for some thirty-six of our state governors and many state legislatures, then term limits are just as necessary for the U.S. Congress for precisely the same reasons, to curb the corruption, power and privileges that accumulate with serving too long in these offices. We want the "My Vote for Sale " signs torn down in Congress! The "Occupy" movement is partially financed and instigated by billionaire global elite George Soros and others who financed President Barack Obama, so the publicity will deflect criticism from the "Guns to Mexico", Solyndra bankruptcy and other serious mistakes. --- EUROPEPROTESTERS DISTRUST LEADERS Young protesters in Europe express growing distrust of leaders and blame politicians for having fewer prospects than their parents, a think tank official says. Interviews with about 40 people under 30 in Spain, Greece, Britain and France show protesters are part of a global youth movement frustrated by a lack of jobs and what they see as the indifference or inability of politicians to do anything about it. An estimated 30,000 youths who camped in Puerta del Sol, beginning a Spanish protest movement in May, drew inspiration from the Arab Spring pro-democracy movement sweeping the Mideast and Africa and inspired Occupy Wall Street protesters in America . The protesters have gone beyond jobs and the economy to raise big questions about what it means to be human, what values and truths to accept, how people should be treated, how democracy should work, the role of free markets, money, the social contract, community. "We are here to claim dignity . . . and a new society that gives more priority to life than economic interest," a flyer for protesters in Spain reads. The protest movement comes after Europe had appeared to be moving toward unity after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the fall of borders, the rise of Democracy, a healthy monetary union, wealth and sustainable, green economies. But today, idealism has given way to skepticism among many young people, who express distrust of political elites. "They see the political class as closed, opaque, corrupt, insensitive. All polls show a wide feeling among youth that the political class and elites are a problem," said Jose Ignacio Torreblanca of the Madrid office of the think tank European Council on Foreign Relations. -- United Press International, Inc.
