Comments on: General Assembly Guide We are the 99% We will no longer remain silent!

Yet, over the last 20 years, in just the 2nd and 9th Circuit Courts, 96% of all Copyright lawsuits filed against networks and studios were thrown out of court by an unconsitutional and corporate biased Summary Judgment process...allowing these big companies to STEAL...IN THE NAME OF THE LAW(SUMMARY JUDGMENT). Summary Judgment should only be granted if there was no fact issues to try and if allowed to go to trial there was no way that the Plaintiff could in. Thus, in the last 20 years is it truly possible that 96% of all cases filed against big corporations , NONE OF THE 46/48 CASES COULD WIN? The unconstitutional protections provided to corporations at the expense of the small businesses/Independent Artists MUST END. We demand that all of these cases be put back on the courts' dockets, the ABOLISHMENT of the Summary Judgment process and revision of the antiquated rules for proving Access in Copyright cases...for we can not allow for Copyright to Die! I would like to join meeting with clergy at 12pm tomorrow...please let me know the venue.

In this case you would need to send this to Demands. I'll try to get it forwarded to them if possible for now, but stay tuned for updates on this new system we're going to implement. Thanks Stephen.

We want a full free education for every child living in the United States, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, orientation, physical or intellectual ability, or religious belief, from neonatal childcare to any and all post graduate degrees if they so choose to accept. Students will be required to take part in an education of some kind, as granted by the municipal authorities, until the age of adulthood but will have the choice to walk away from secondary education provided for all students at the age of 18 at which time they may choose to start a career, become a civil servant, enlist into the military, or seek some other pursuit to their liking. 2. We want federal fully funded healthcare, included in the care provided shall be emergency trauma care, long-term disability care, hospice end of life care, pediatric care, recovery and therapy care, psychological therapy and counseling, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, all pharmaceutical drugs, instruments, or any item that patients will have to use in order to receive appropriate care. 3. We want all there to be no large gaps between the highest and lowest wage earners in any company. There will be strict adherence to wage control both to cap the highest wage earners, and to set a mandatory minimum wage requirement and encourage businesses to profit-share and co-op. Strict regulation will be mandated for the buying, selling, trading of any stock, and new laws will be enforced to terminate any and all predatory practices including customer scams, rip-offs, intimidation, or coercion. These tactics used in business are detrimental to society as a whole and are damaging to its citizenry. 4. There is no such thing as a right to work as it is necessary for people to afford to live in an industrial society. If workers feel that they have been treated unfairly and the owners of the business are unwilling to negotiate to meet the needs of the workers, the municipal government shall mediate. If not terms can be reached, workers are within their rights to organize into a union to litigate for the rights of the workers. Businesses need to meet health, safety, and environmental requirements before any business may continue its production. 5. The end to mass deportations of undocumented workers. Deportations should only used in cases of felony convictions past or present. All immigrants documented and undocumented are entitled to the same protections under the constitution that all other people enjoy. 6. The privatization of public services must come to an end. It is these very companies that break the laws of the land and exploit those people who would most benefit or whom the service was intended for. This includes all police activity, Military services, the penal system, hospitals, government agencies, transportation services, etc. 7. American businesses must rely on American products. Manufacturing of American products will resume and no longer will companies outsource their production or services to foreign countries. For too long the American worker has been overlooked for foreign production, cheap labor, and the side-stepping of regulations. American business owners must swear to uphold American production and services. If an American business chooses to market themselves outside of the US, they may do so, but production must be done in the US. Here are some suggested demands.

You've got to remember that most people don't listen, they just wait to talk.
