Occupy LA demands

I thought these were good. If other Occupy groups could demand the same, it would be great.

A major Objective of Occupy LA is to END CORPORATISM on the National, State and Local levels. We define CORPORATISM as the merger between Corporations and the State. Some examples of this nexus are:

· the pervasive influence of lobbyists throughout government

· the revolving door between the private and public sectors as corporate executives and lobbyists become governmental regulators and legislators and then move back into the private sector again.

· The awarding of public contracts to private political cronys

· The dependency and predominance of the public Electoral process on private Corporate funding

· Commonplace Legislative action blatantly prejudicial to the public interest and grossly beneficial to favored Corporate interests

· The elevation of Corporations to the legal status of persons enjoying the rights and privileges of citizens.

· Wars waged in the interest of Corporate profits.

The marriage between Corporations and Governmental Power has overthrown the basic principles of Rule of Law, Equality Under the Law, Due Process and the protection afforded to the Citizens of the United States by the Constitution. As long as the above described condition is allowed to persist, the interests of the People will be prejudiced in favor of the Corporate interests of the 1%. We will seek out all peaceful means, including citizen legislative, legal and protest action to END CORPORATISM.

A major Objective of Occupy LA is to END THE POLICE STATE. The 1% Corporatocracy has instituted an Police State to enforce its political control and suppress the 99%. This Police State has effectively overthrown the basic and essential principles of Rule of Law, Due Process, Equality Under the Law and the other fundamental Rights afforded by the Constitution of the United States. Some elements and examples of this Police State are:

HOMELAND SECURITY, which concentrates immense Police State powers in a monolithic, centralized bureaucracy
The PATRIOT ACT, which negates and erodes many of our fundamental Constitutional rights and enables aggressive Police State powers
TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, which subjects all air travelers to unconstitutional and prisoner-like searches of their persons and effects
THREAT FUSION CENTERS, which meld Federal, State and Local law enforcement into a permanent state surveillance apparatus
FREE SPEECH ZONES, which restricts access to sites of protest and effectively denies Freedom of Speech, Assembly and the Right to Redress of Grievances

We reject the idea that we must surrender Freedom to gain Security. We reject the notion that we must live in fear under the overarching protection of a Big Brother state. We stand for a restoration of all Constitutional rights and we will work to END THE POLICE STATE.
