Yes, Mr. Ratigan may be “right on” when he says we have an auction-based government. Everything and everyone in this free enterprise system has its price and always will. The more money that is involved the more turbulence in the system. As the saying goes..”the wind gathers at the tallest trees” and the wind here is the stinking corruption that pollutes the system.

I suggest we take the money out of the equation and get back to the barter system where real value exists without blatant corruption. Our contribution to each other is the core essence of the human spirit and comes full circle in natures time.

What can we do for each other without the corrupt and “not so mighty” dollar? This should be the real movement!

for those who are able to make donations to #occupywallstreet,
here is a website that gives you different options on how to donate (food order delivery, money donations, etc).

the weather has started to turn cold here in NYC.
the protesters are now asking for more sleeping bags.
a twenty dollar donation will buy a sleeping bag.

sporting good stores sell “thermies” the lightweight mylar sheets that keep marathon runners and campers warm.

there are also hand glove pocket warmers.

In reply to lvent. The electoral college outlived its basis long ago. The popular vote is in place for all other elections. It is time for a change!

Excellent Message: Dylan makes excellent points.
Government is bought and paid for by the financial industry. We need to get lobbyists out of influence! Separate the financial sector influence from government. Do not allow either party to confiscate or convert the OCCUPY movement to their benefit.
In the news today::
Ben Bernanke in response to the OCCUPY movement:
“They blame, with some justification, the problems in the financial sector for getting us into this mess and they’re dissatisfied with the policy response here in Washington,” “On some level I can’t blame them,” he said. “Like everyone else, I’m dissatisfied with what the economy is doing right now.”
Ben Bernanke to Congress’ Joint Economic Committee

Mild-mannered Bernanke is FED UP with the “federal response” to our dilemma. Any of those who doubted this movement’s impact, response and occupation could effect and promote OUR cause as homeowners, disenfranchised voters, dissatisfied with the status quo of Washington, the AGs, in response to the banking fraud that has devastated our lives, cost our jobs and lost our homes.

Pass both Dylan and Bernanke’s messages around to all your blogs.

Dylan is spot on…this is the type of leadership we need. He is offering a solution..an amendment to take the money out of politics. There is also a movement heading toward the Wall Street Protestors on Friday that wants to change the Electoral College system. We need more critical thinkers to offer solutions and leadership.
