Hey Harlem, it's time to join the occupy Wall St. movement. At a Aug. 2nd "Occupy Wall Street" rally, Sare
addressed the activists, gathered at the infamous Wall Street bull statue to oppose the debt-ceiling deal, and
oppose budget cuts which are destroying peoples' lives, while Wall Street
financial elite are protected. Diane Sare is the local LaRouche PAC candidate on the 6 candidate slate across the USA.
A large rally is planned for Sept. 17. Sare participated in planning discussions with the "Occupy
Wall Street" movement, who are modelling themselves after the young "Indignados" of Spain and Greece.
Sare reports that there was an excellent response from the
crowd, and especially from the young people, from the activist
age groups. They were familiar with, and friendly to LaRouche.
They were actively backing Glass-Steagall, which is part of their
list of action points, for which they are fighting.
The Aug. 2 rally was initiated earlier this Summer, by
organizers associated with the three-week-long Bloombergville
encampment in New York City in June and July, called to oppose
Mayor Bloomberg's murderous budget cuts.
Known as NYABC--New Yorkers Against Budget Cuts--the
grouping, through multiple websites and networks, issued an open
invitation to "a General Assembly on Wall Street" Aug. 2, the
NYABC stated, "National politicians are using the Aug. 2 deadline
on raising the debt ceiling as an excuse to attack social
programs we are entitled to by law -- Social Security, food
stamps, Medicare/Medicaid, and so on. In the midst of massive and
growing joblessness, and increased homelessness, the president
and Congress are hatching an agreement to swap massive cuts to
such social programs for meager new revenues."
The statement then attacks the banks for being responsible
for the crisis: "Even the money the government has used to bail
out the banks comes from our paychecks. We have a right to demand
that the money be used to invest in jobs, education, health care
and infrastructure not bankers speculation... Tell Wall Street
and the bankers no!"
