The First Stirrings

I have been busy watching what is going on with the Occupy Movement.  A peaceful group who want a return to a democratic society.  As the rich get richer and the poor become destitute, more taxes are needed to fuel the sinking ship that is our current government.  It is outrageous that there is nothing to protect the people that pay the highest percentage in taxes.  Even the news reflects their concern regarding the amount of income tax gathered versus government expenditure.
Our countries custodians need to be held accountable for their reckless behavior and I feel the Occupy movement is the way to go.  Our government's choices on where the money is being spent no longer represents the peoples needs, let alone desires.  However, upon attending a local General Assembly for the Occupy movement consensus is the power being used to put things into action.  It is a group decision, by the people for the people involved and it works.
Recently it has been discovered that a dozen or so local city leaders took it unto themselves to convene in private and shut down some of the larger Occupy sites in time for the 2 month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street.  Using cover of darkness, they dispatched a peaceful group of people who were dong nothing more than expressing their rights.  The police showed up in riot gear, removed everyone and confiscated valuable items and belongings.  The underhanded tactics of the bureaucrats involved speaks volumes as to the type of people they are.  I am not comfortable with what is happening so close to home.
Attacking the Wall Street Occupation Movement, was bound to happen, since all of the Occupy's model themselves by their actions and deeds.  It will be interesting to see what happens next.  In all honesty, we know that this is the first step, and I am excited to find out what the next step will be.
As peaceful protesters, using our minds instead of weapons and fists, I know I can count on a brilliant tactical step forward.  Only one day after being shut down in the middle of the night, the Wall Street Occupiers took to the streets and marched on the next day.  It is obvious, things have only just begun.
