You do have the right to speak but nothing says you have a right to be heard; loudly, or from great distance, or at all for that matter.

Now a-days you have to pay for the right to be heard?

I guess only corporate persons have a right to free speech and the right to be heard this days...

Can you say thank you Mr. Reagan? He repealed the Fairness Act.
Why would America need a Fairness Act?
Because it was fair?
Corporations don't want no fairness.
It interrupts the drive to monopoly.

Ask yourself one more time.
How much coverage would this get if it was a Koch bros. sponsored teabagger event?
It's going into week 3, and spreading to other cities and countries.

Yeah, you know it... The people are finally standing up, and it doesn't seem there's been much if any coverage in the corporate media down here at all...

But it's actually pretty inspiring. I'm almost afraid to get my hopes up, but ....It's about time.

I would call for an amendment to the constitution to separate business and state.

It's already in the Constitution - laissez-faire capitalism is a religion.

The Guardian and BBC seem to be doing a much better job of covering the whole thing than the US Media houses...

Maybe the British Press has a role to play in the world moving forward after all

Anyone interested in justice has a role to play Adrian. Organized labor here has been
asked to join in and is in the act of voluntarily joining a just cause. Shortly,we'll
see some steel workers at the forefront.With more of us to follow soon.
Wont mention my own charter affiliation,we've discussed it.Believe we'll be there
in just a bit. United we stand, divided we beg.

RT gave the most honest report I've heard so far.
MSM mostly quotes NYPD press releases.
Lazy journalism.
