Local Fight Against Tyranny - We Shall Overcome?



Dr. Martin Luther King "We Shall Overcome"

Welcome to the new America! I previously posted that last Monday the U.S. Legislature passed the bill HR 347, seriously infringing on the 1st Amendment. HR 347 will empower federal agents to arrest and bring felony criminal charges against citizens engaged in political protests anywhere in the USA. GOP Governors have taken away the power of our working class by stripping the power of the unions. Tomorrow is the 47th anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" (U2 song) march of
March 7,1965 Selma March/Bloody Sunday
Selma, Alabama when over 600 Americans marched for civil rights and were beat down by police with billy clubs and tear gas. Three weeks later Martin Luther king led over 3000 more, and by the time they reached the Capital they were 25,000 strong. However the new bill HR347 would turn Dr. Martin Luther King into a Felon for the God given right to demonstrate using the U.S. Constitution as a document giving him the right to assemble and use free speech. This Lopatcong, NJ dispute over this asphalt plant is just one local nail in the coffin of us, the 99%. We are heading for a police state governed by the money men. I used to laugh at the paranoid ramblings of the Alex Jones videos on Youtube. Not so sure they are paranoid ramblings any more. The Campaign Finance Law of 2010 gives Big Corp and the 1% power to pick their puppet and the $$$ to back the campaign right into the Oval Office. Good Luck Lopat. Grassroots citizens need to stop this insanity while they still can. I sure hope it isn't too late to Stop Corporate Personhood!
