Press Advisory submitted to Shelton Blog By Occupy Olympia
The Days of Politics As Usual Are Over
Occupy Olympia will bring the 99% to our state capitol starting November 28 and lasting until lawmakers decide to stand up for Washington families. After cutting $10 billion in the past three years, lawmakers now want to cut another $2.7 billion--and our representatives will pretend that they can’t do anything about it. The all cuts approach continues to place the burden for balancing the budget squarely on the 99% while requiring no sacrifice on behalf of corporations and our wealthiest citizens.If our elected officials won’t provide for the relative security and basic needs of the 99% during a time of increasing need then they will get an eviction notice.
Our elected officials have called a "special" session to slash funding for our schools, our healthcare and our community services. We call on the Occupy Movement in Washington State to converge on the Capitol on Nov. 28th to stand up and fight. If the Governor and Legislators won’t prioritize human need over corporate interests then we will bring the many to Olympia to serve notice. The days of politics as usual are over.

It is amazing that in the face of the greatest need since the "great depression" our lawmakers solutions are cut services, cut education, cut benefits, cut, cut, cut.
ReplyDeleteWe need to deliver some pink slips on the 28th of November with a message from the 99% to our legislators... any ideas for what the message(s) on the pink slips should be?
Occupy something today!
I hope that Shelton and Mason County show up in great numbers to support Occupy Olympia on November 28, and to help remind the legislators that their big $$$$ campaign contributors only get one vote each, the 99% get all the rest!
