    That’s funny, because less than a million people are rioting but they have somewhere around 78 million in the country. Does that mean Obama should resign as well?

    Well fellow 99ers, step 1 is now completed & make no mistake about it, we have billions of steps yet to take. Thanks to the morons that voted the Tea Party crapheads into office in November, we have a very steep mountain to climb. If there’s going to be movement on this bill, it had better happen fast. Congress has been hooking us with this crap for almost a year. If this is another game they’re playing…well most of you know the action’s I want to see take place. As far as I’m concerned, they have a very short window of opportunity to do the right thing. The fly in the ointment is going to be the tea party scum, who have already proved they’re going after anything that those that need help the most needs. As far as I’m concerned, this is their, Congress last chance. If they let this one die like they did 3706, thats all she wrote. There’s gonna be a war. There needs to be a war. Obama is just as much the enemy as the ‘pubs, the ’dems & the Tea Party. We have few friends that’ll help

    It is time for ALL to step up to the plate. Those of us whose words you read online can not win this alone.

    If you never posted anything online before, now is the time to jump in. We all did it once.

    Stand up and fight, or lay down and die. The choice is yours.

    It has been three years of fighting for me, but I will NOT lay down and die EVER!

    I hope you viewers will join us. We need you!

    This is our final stand!
