Everyone! Come to the County Government Center at Victoria & Telephone tomorrow, Friday, Oct 14th, from 3pm on, for our OCCUPY VENTURA KICKOFFF!
We will be OCCUPYING THE CORNER!
Our Statement:
We are diverse citizens, united in solidarity with the national Occupy Wall Street movement, in non-violent protest against many injustices,
including:
• high un-and-under-employment
• a concentration of wealth in the top 1%
• the bubble economy, which destroyed first retirement savings and now has resulted in the mass foreclosure of homes
• a state of permanent, undeclared, war in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan
• the inability for the common citizen to afford adequate access to healthcare, education, nutrition and human services
• destruction of the environment
We assert that the unifying cause of these injustices is the collusion between government and corporations. We call for the separation of corporation and State by:
• eliminating banker and corporate bailouts
• eliminating the power for government to award monopolies and special privileges to corporations
• prosecute white collar crime
• end the Federal Reserve System, which through debasement of the dollar and secret loans, has funded war and bailouts beyond the consent of the tax payers
• moving money out of corrupt banks into local credit unions.

I was only able to spend a few hours down there today, due to family needs, but the turnout was awesome, and the support from passers-by was incredible. So I’m very hopeful that the numbers will be growing. I can’t camp there 24/7 right now, but I plan to spend as much time there as I can, and I hope everyone else will too.
