Occupy Olympia has just announced an Occupy Your Capitol general strike of the special session of the legislature which was called by the governor to rubber-stamp her latest round of budget cuts. So once again we take 99% of the cuts and the rich get 0% of the revenue increases.
Lots more information will be forthcoming. Stay tuned so make your plans to be in Olympia on Nov 28th.
Here's the post from Occupy Olympia which pretty much says it all:
OCCUPIERS OF WASHINGTON, (State) UNITE NOVEMBER 28TH! An especially bad legislative session is being convened to ram state budget cuts down the throats of the 99%. $2.7 billion will be cut and your representatives will pretend that they can’t do anything about it. The 99% understand that many state representatives have their arms twisted behind their backs by the big banks, corporations and 1%, while others happily go along with the corporate ruling class. We seek to recognize and free from under the dominance of corporations those state representatives who would like to stand with the 99%. For those that are happily doing the bidding of their corporate ruling class we will recognize and free you from your position as state representative.
If our state representatives won’t provide for the relative security and basic needs of the 99% during a time of increasing need then they must step aside or they will be removed directly. To the corporate lobbyist, you are no longer welcome on the capital campus, leave now and never return or we will expel you directly.
The special session is scheduled to last for 30 days. Come for a day, a week, the month, or indefinitely.
Olympia hosts dozens of rallies and demonstrations a year during legislative sessions. The biggest I've seen were a couple of thousand of us marching against the war in 2003. We can easily make this the biggest event ever. Come to the capital on the 28th in numbers too big to fail.
