I’m not just talking about putting the #occupy bat-signal across the White House.  Though that would be entertaining. And like I said last week about #OccupyCongress, I am not talking about pitching a tent on the South Lawn.  (And I am definitely not talking about @Moveon ‘s phony #OccupyCongress campaign where they are shilling for one corporate party over the other.)

In last week’s Occupy Congress post,  we discussed that this year has been about stepping out side of your comfort zone.  It is time for all of us to take back our democracy, and demand what we want rather than take what we are sold.  I plead for you to run for Congress last week, so that we finally had a representative of the 99% in Congress.  The 1% is represented by the party of the greater evil and the lesser evil.  To paraphrase Jerry Garcia, now is the time to stop choosing evil. We need to get  corporations out of the White House — out of our domestic and foreign policies.

We need a President who represents Georgia, Ohio, Vermont, and New Mexico in the White House instead of a representative of Exxon, KBR, Monsanto, and Goldman Sachs.  We need a President who is more worried about what is happening by in the supermarket than what is happening in the bond market. We need a President who will stand up and speak out NOW, rather than hinting that she will do the right thing after the next election.

We need to only support candidates who represent the 99% in primaries and the general election.  And that means definitely not supporting the Democratic and Republican nominee, no matter who they are.  If that candidate is an outrider in the primary process, then support her all the way through.  If that candidate is a third party or independent, on the November ballot, then make sure as many voters as possible pull the lever for her. And if that candidates YOU, then get working to get on the 50 plus ballots.
