Occupy Wall Street & Tea Party WAKE UP–This Is A Message You Must Heed

Bryan Henry is a young teacher and family man in Kingwood Texas who is very civic minded. He participates actively in the Kingwood version of the Occupy Movement which from its inception has followed the tenet of much of what he speaks about in the excellent piece he wrote below.

In fact his article comes at a good time for us locally and for the movement as a whole nationally. Occupy Kingwood is in the process of morphing into an official affiliate of Move To Amend where it will be entering into the process of promoting resolutions and policies to support the tenets that money is not speech and corporations are not people.

The movement must work within the electoral process based solely on policy. As such folks from all stripes should engage for the cause of maintaining a real people based democracy as opposed to a corporate dictated democracy.
