Dear Representative Boehner,             


I gave you a grade of D.  I am not entirely satisfied with your stance on jobs, why because when you and your republican  friends ran in 2010, your war cry at that time was jobs, Jobs , JOBS.  Where are the Jobs, Mr President! You talked about deficit reduction, cut spending.  Once you got into office and the speakership, you changed course.  Deficit reduction, cut Cut CUT, no matter who it hurt.  Balanced budget amendment, destroy all programs, including medicare, social security and medicaqid.  And your republican governors, and their attack on education, medicaid, union stripping. voter rights, immigration, and healthcare.   You want to return to the states those programs that they should be handling, except, little man, they can not take care of their mess they have now.  They steal from this program to pay for that one.  Housing, welfar, unemployment,  preschool, education vouchers, taxes, unions, child labor laws.I could go on.  President Obama sumitted a jobs bill, but your republicans sank it.  But you haven't put anything like it out there for us to see.  Your top priority is making Obama a one term president, and you are killing what the citizens think about the Congress and their NO! the hell we won't, do nothing help no one congress with a 9% favorable poll number. 
And now there is the 99% gathering in the big towns and little towns of our country, fighting back.  trying to tell you what we the people your constituents expect out of our Representatives, and you are not listening, you do not want to hear us, well we are getting bigger, and we are here to stay until you decide we are worth being heard.  YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE MIDDLE CLASS, AND WHAT WE DEAL WITH EVERYDAY. We are the nobodies, the ones you republicans think you can forget. It has been predicted that in ten years the way that Republicans are running(ruining) the economy, that there will be no middle class, only the poor and destitute, who will be living in tent cities, scrounging for food, and dying at an abnormal rate, because of no healthcare, no government programs that help take care of us.  Our old and feeble, our disabled, our sick will die off, That is what you and your Republican croonies want.  Keep the rich fatter, the corporations happier, becuase that is how you survive, and prosper.  You make me sick, mark my words, your day is coming.  And it will be a sweet revolt, and you will not know what has hit you. WE THE PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED STATES< WILL TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY FROM THE TERRORIST (Republicans/tea party) We will live to fight another day.

Hacker Group “Anonymous” Threatens to Take Down Fox News Website Over OWS Coverage

Fox News, does nothing to improve their take on politics.  They are not fair and  balanced, but under the Constitution of these United States, they are protected by the First Amendment.  Freedom to speak, write, protest, cuss and say whatever pleases them and their audience, as long as they do not  have to prove it true or false.  But they do, get their heads handed to them on silver platters, more than once when other networks check out their so called fair and balanced reports.
The only thing  “Anonymous” does by targeting Fox News is make it easier for law enforcement cybercops to figure out where, when, and how these attacks take place.  And then you will hear them, say "CHARGE"  and your arrest.  “Anonymous”
you have some freedoms under the first Amendment, do not lose them, learn to use them to your advantage..........

The hacker group “Anonymous” announced plans to take down the Fox News website on Nov. 5 over its coverage of the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

They are calling their effort Operation Fox Hunt and say that Fox News’ “continued right-wing, conservative propaganda can no longer be tolerated.”
“Anonymous” criticizes the website for belittling the Occupy Wall Street protesters by using words like “filthy, dirty and disgusting” to describe them and says the site must be shut down.
In addition to shutting down the Fox News website, “Anonymous” plans to launch its own propaganda campaign “to show them how it feels to be chastised.”
The message ends with the warning: “Fox News, your time has come.”
The left, which hasn’t had a protest movement like OWS in decades, is bristling at the coverage by Fox News that exposes the occupiers for what they really are. They are now using this threat by “Anonymous” in an effort to curtail the unfavorable coverage.
Fox News has obviously struck a nerve with the thin-skinned hackers at “Anonymous.”








TW Hmmmm…..
If successful, I wonder if this will be used to justify the complete control of the internet by the the feds.
Roseann Graham It seems like these people are hacking more than just Fox News. Lately, more Internet issues are surfacing. If these people are so proud of “taking down” a network, what else could individuals
like this be capable of?
Bryan Fox calls OWS dirty, they call the Tea Party astroturf.
Fox calls OWS filthy, they call the Tea Party racist.
Fox calls OWS disgusting, they call the Tea Party hostage takers.
Yet the Tea Party has never endorsed violence. Never threatened to
take down MSNBC. But we are the same?
Greg I will defend with my hacking skill yor right to free* speech
*free as in those statments ‘we’ agree with
Herbert May I humbly suggest a more inclusive term for the ‘thousands of countries’ which have ‘occupy’ encampments?
~OBAMAVILLE~
jfhdsiu “Anonymous” is synonymous with “Cowardly” terrorists in this instance!
Cowardly, because they attack anonymously.
Terrorists, because that IS, by definition, what terrorists do. Attack in a COWARDLY fashion……Anonymously!
I don’t suppose they take into account the harm they do those that they support! Obviously they don’t realize the animosity they will generate, (in those who support the Fox site), AGAINST the “parkupier” crowd! The disruption will also turn a GREAT MANY, otherwise neutral, people against the cowardly anonymous mob. The Fox site WILL recover, (and may even find a way to neutralize the cowardly anonymous attacks). The, ‘secretive’, anonymous mob are cowards and are undeserving of the credibility afforded “HONEST” people.
As for setting up a web site to counter Fox’s message, the fools must not realize that it would only work IF people actually read their tripe and believed it. I don’t see that happening. “Sticks and stones”, and all that.
Words can only hurt if they’re TRUE. Soooo……….Since the Anonymous cowards ARE “hurt” by the words they are upset about, it logically stands to reason that THOSE words ARE TRUE! Another reason they generate animosity AGAINST their cause. They’re protesting “the truth”, (a ‘truth’, as is evidenced by their being HURT by it)!
The Anonymous mob hasn’t an ounce of courage to share between them.
jeko What a great opportunity to employ network sniffers. They identified the time and the place.. Do it.
catch them and throw them so deep in prison that it will take $5 in postage to get a post card.
CLR Not only are the people doing the protest dirty and spoiled, they are whiny babies. This proves it full well.
BossMan That’s the reason it is totally foolish to do internet banking.
Most don’t realize they are just asking for trouble when they do
david rockingham Anonymously, someone should expose these sinister terrorists that don’t believe in free speech.
Recce1 Is their Fox hacking threat a surprise? They’ve already attacked a Foxnews reporter physically. Should we expect less from these sociopathic anarchists?

Michael Moore: Occupy movement "killed apathy"

(CBS/AP) 
OAKLAND, Calif. - Filmmaker Michael Moore told anti-Wall Street protesters in Oakland that the Occupy movement - which has spread to cities across America and overseas - in inspiring millions who are angry about corporate excess, income inequality and the failure of politicians to address issues facing the majority of Americans.
"We've killed despair across the country and we've killed apathy," he said.
The director of the documentary films "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Bowling for Columbine" said people throughout the U.S. were "disgusted" and "horrified" when police fired tear gas and bean bags and took other aggressive actions against protesters Tuesday night.
Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen, 24, remains hospitalized in fair condition with a fractured skull suffered from a projectile fired during a sweep of Frank Ogawa Plaza by police in riot gear. His condition has become a rallying cry at Occupy protests around the world.
Although police cleared protesters and their tents from the plaza Tuesday morning, the protesters and their tents returned the next day, and held a candlelight vigil for Olsen. The new encampment has grown to about 50 tents. Organizers said up to a thousand people were in the area late Friday night, with very few police in sight.
Addressing about 1,000 Occupy Oakland protesters in front of City Hall Friday, Moore said the week's events in Oakland will go down as a "watershed moment" in the Occupy Wall Street movement, reports CBS Station KPIX.
"Millions have seen this and are inspired by you because you came back the next night," said Moore.
Moore said the movement cannot tolerate violence against demonstrators. Referring to Olsen, Moore said, "It's absolutely criminal that this young man went to Iraq for a war he didn't agree with, and the only place he had to worry about was here in his own country, in Oakland, California."
He said the movement has already had "a number of victories in our first six weeks," saying, "I've never seen a movement take form so fast."
He also said the Occupy protests, which were initially dismissed by politicians and bankers, have changed the national discussion. "When was the last time in the last few weeks you heard them talking about the debt ceiling?" asked Moore.

Moore rhetorically asked the crowd, "There's no turning back, is there?" and the crowd answered with a loud "No!"
Moore urged protesters - many of whom are demonstrating against growing inequality between the rich and poor - to continue their movement until they run the country.
Meanwhile, Oakland's police chief said he takes responsibility for the crackdown on the anti-Wall Street protesters earlier this week.
Jordan defended the officers involved in the effort to drive protesters from a days-long encampment, saying they used what they believed to be the least amount of force possible to protect themselves.
"I want to ensure you that all allegations of misconduct and excessive uses of force are being thoroughly investigated," Jordan said.
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, who on Thursday publicly apologized for Tuesday's incident, said Friday that she did so because people got hurt.
