We need to DEMAND that our government *punish* those who have committed economic treason against this country, or they will continue to act with impunity… and the consequences will once again fall on US.

There’s a move against the largest employee union (the Postal Workers)
and imminent financial collapse in Europe.

The economy is NOT getting better, and in fact, CAN’T until we have REAL reform including mass INDICTMENTS.

Participate in a NATIONAL STRIKE and DAY of NATIONAL ACTION
on Monday, OCTOBER 10th.

- No work.
- No spending.
- Street protests that build collective morale.

Wherever YOU are, participate—-and urge others to as well.

WE are the economy, not Wall St. We need to remind them that they cannot run this without us.

Download the ‘Yes We Can’ Banker Poster and forward as appropriate. It would be great to see these on October 10th, too!

Also, perfect timing: Joe Burns’ new book, ‘Reviving the Strike.’

‘How Working People Can Regain Power and Transform America.’
Featured on Thom Hartmann’s show today, July 6th.

Yes we can!

OCTOBER 10th… a NATIONAL STRIKE (that means *everyone*) for the AMERICAN WORKER!

We need to show them that they *cannot* run this economy without us. WE are the REAL ECONOMY, and it won’t be until we MAKE our government act on our behalf (including INDICTMENTS and STRONGER REGULATION of the so-call big ‘banks’) that we will be living in a true republic again.

- NO WORK!
- NO SPENDING! on

10/10/11 … pass it on!

We had a crowd of 5000+ — BUT there should have been 100,000 people showing up to protest the outrageous treasonous behavior of the bankers and financial services industry.

How much more suffering and loss to people have to endure before they realize that WE are the leadership we’ve been waiting for.

WE will be the catalyst for any change in the status quo.

Shutting down the economy for one day would be another sign of our organization and anger—to get the attention of our government so they will start doing the job they were sent to do.

Financial reform, anti-trust legislation, healthcare reform—not to mention JOBS JOBS JOBS!

These are the priorities that will get our country back on track.

OUR country—that means YOUR participation and YOUR voice.

A ‘Showdown in Chicago’ at the American Banking Association Convention—with an impressive coalition

THURSDAY, OCT 29th
NATIONAL STRIKE FOR
THE AMERICAN MIDDLE AND WORKING CLASSES!!!

TELL OUR GOVERNMENT, THE MEDIA, THE CORPORATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO TAKE OVER OUR COUNTRY THAT THE MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE HAD IT!

Bank CEOS and other executives have bankrupted their companies—and then come running to us for help.

Insurance and pharmaceutical corporations play games with our health and the well-being of our loved ones and focus only on their bottom line.

OUR treasury is run by former Goldman Sachs executives with an open door to Wall St which is allowed to write their own regulation and STEAL billions of our money—-after depleting our pensions. They are not required to account for the money—and are continuing to pay HUGE bonuses to the THIEVES who broke our economy. And no one is prosecuted.

This is economic treason.

Lobbyists and corporations buy our congress and senators to vote for THEIR interests, not OURS.

Our new administration is, sadly, allowing lobbyists and corporations to dictate our legislation and our future.

The top income bracket as recently as 1980 used to pay 70% income tax—and NOW pay LESS than the middle and working classes who have borne the brunt of carrying this economy too long.

THERE ARE NO JOBS.
WAGES HAVE STAGNATED FOR OVER TWO DECADES, and with a too-small job market, wages have fallen even further and employers are taking advantage and exploiting the situation.

ENOUGH!

WE NEED A NATIONAL STRIKE!!

Because of our current Depression and in remembrance of the Stock Market Crash of 1929, the date is:

*** THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29th FOR THIS STRIKE. ***

- NO WORK.
- NO SPENDING.
- DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT DAY.
- DO NOT SHOW UP FOR WORK.

The people in other countries take to the streets when their government and societies are corrupt. We must do this, too.

It’s time for another revolution that will remind us of our power AND remind these criminals why they need to FEAR US.

WE are the economy. WE are the government. This country belongs TO US.

*** THURSDAY, OCT 29th.***
NATIONAL STRIKE OF THE AMERICAN
MIDDLE & WORKING CLASSES

ENOUGH!!

PASS THIS ON …
