We got 99 problems but greed ain't one!

This is a simple message. Loud and clear. Heard in every barbershop, student union, basketball court and after-school hangout. Not a message that is wrapped nicely with the perfect bow.  We were never too good at gift wrapping, cause we were too busy rockin' to the beat of Kurtis Blow's "Christmas Rappin'."

Not a message for soundbites or talking heads. Not a message for politicians to send around in emails to raise money for their campaigns.

Occupy Aspen Poster and Sign-making Party and March to Airport Private Jet Terminal

4pm - ? OccupyAspen: Ongoing construction at my residence provides lots of construction material to make signs for rally on Oct. 22nd. Refreshments [beer] provided.

53 Forge Road, Burlingame Public Housing, adjacent to Burlingame bus stop. Look for the big Occupy Aspen sign.

If you are driving from Downvalley, take a left at Harmony [1st light past airport], and take a right at the stop sign [Forge Road]. House is 1st on right. Burlingame Public Housing is on the old Bar X ranch near Paul Soldner's place, adjacent to the Maroon Creek Club.

Why we need change in Aspen, our nation, and our world

To paraphrase a "We are the 99%" protester in London today, our movement for change here in the RFV transcends political affiliation – you don't have to be left or right, Republican or Democrat, worker bee or retired in Aspen. :)

My father, a 76 year old tea partier [little t, as in more liberty!, less regulation] Republican from Fort Worth, TX, where they say the West begins, was out on the street with two retired wealthy lawyers, and an assortment of people at Occupy Aspen.

Occupy Aspen 10.22.11: October 22nd Rally at Wagner Park 10am

Some quotes from Thomas Jefferson:

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.

When wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality.

Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Community

what are everyone's thoughts on this:

tea party movement + libertarians + OWS [Occupy together] movement =

"really big tent" for occupiers=

People United =

community =

we really are the 99%.

Or "Power to the peaceful," as my neighbor spray painted on my house yesterday at the Occupy Aspen sign-making event. Or, "GD=endless wars=big$ to the 1% Crowns," as someone else wrote with spray paint.

Real change, and not this Obama "change."

Is Guantanomo closed yet?

How many wars are we in?
