11-23-11 Miss-information

On our local news station KXAN a report was issued about the cost of maintaining the facilities that the Occupy Austin group as occupied.  The statement was that $10,000 was spent to keep it clean.  What was not mentioned is the fact that Occupy Austin has asked the city to paint, clean and maintain the facilities themselves, including offering money to help offset the expense. 

This bias report is clearly another sign of how the City of Austin is trying to discredit the movement in the hopes of bringing it to an end.  What this does in fact do is create a stronger resolve of the movement to stay put.  Constantly we see false information, or miss-leading information being sent out via the press to discredit the movement, and while it is understandable as a tactical move, it is a greater shame to see the press play to that concept without really researching the cost and or the truthfulness behind the cities claims.  The press is meant to be neutral and to only report a fair and honest report of what is happening, what happen to that concept?  Has every station moved further and further to a point of representing one point of view, that of their corporate owners?

The movement does continue to get stronger because of this unfair act by the Cities who want to end the movement and by the press who does not do their job.

Another issue is the fact that someone who wishes to get greedy off the movement has issued an eBook of the OWS group and the movement as a whole without having all the facts.  Again, the press has played to this and pushes out false information.  Change needs to happen on so many levels, as a member of one of the organizations coming out of the movement, I hope to do my part in making that change happen and fast.

Vote them Out!

National Call to “Vote them Out!”

Austin, TX – Once again, the political rhetoric that divides our country continues to delay our economic recovery while allowing for corporations and the wealthy 1% to continue to profit from the misery that most Americans are currently suffering.

While our voices may be muted by politicians who are afraid of what we stand for, we are defiant in our cause and our current objective to Vote Them Out!

This national campaign is geared towards every Senator and House of Representative that is up for re-election in 2012.  Their failure to work together for the common ground of every American clearly illustrates that they have chosen not to represent the people who elected them to office, they must go.

A loud and clear voice will be heard on Election Day by those who remain in elected office that the American people are tired of business as usual.

Americans for Common Ground is a national political action grouped formed out of the Occupy movement.  They are a non-partisan organization based in Austin, Texas.
