Microsoft protest: Action for the American Dream

The Sammamish/Issaquah MoveOn.Org House Group invites citizens of the Eastside to JOIN US Thursday, April 26 from 3:30 to 5:00 at the corner of 148th Ave. and NE 40 St. in Bellevue. Our signs will show the ten most critical steps to get our economy back on track and restore the American Dream…. Invest in Infrastructure, Create Energy Jobs, Invest in Education, Medicare for All, Make Work Pay, Secure Social Security, Fairer Tax Rates, End War-Invest at Home, Tax Wall Street, and Strengthen Democracy. Bring YOUR signs to help us capture the attention of the traffic leaving the Microsoft campus at this time. Sign ideas: support for Planned Parenthood, Women’s Health, Marriage Equality, Get out and vote for This American Dream, Immigration policies……

Americans who are willing to work hard and play by the rules should be able to find a decent job, get a good home, retire with dignity and give their kids a better life. Everyone of us has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That is our contract with one another. It can be fulfilled-but only if we work together. Too many at the top are grabbing the gains. The super-rich who got tax breaks should now pay full fare and help create jobs here, not overseas. Together we must rebuild our country; reinvest in our people and jump-start the industries of the future. (from MoveOn American Dream)

THIS IS OUR SPRING ACTION. WE NEED TO GET BACK ON THE STREETS. YESTERDAY IN SEATTLE FOR TAX DAY, foreclosure on Wells Fargo, THE CROWD WAS ONLY ABOUT 200 STRONG, AND NO COVERAGE ON TV. THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO. WE NEED TO WORK TO GET THE VOTE OUT IN SUPPORT OF A PRESIDENT WHO WILL GIVE US A PROGRESSIVE AGENDA.

“LET’S TREAT THIS BEAUTIFUL MOVEMENT AS IF IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD. BECAUSE IT IS.” NAOMI KLIEN FROM HER SPEECH TO OCCUPY WALL STREET OCT. 6, 2011.
