Welcome to Democracy for Wall Street

Are we consumers, or investors?

If we are stakeholders, shouldn't we be shareholders?

The Democratic Party is Pro-Capitalism, but Anti-Elitism. If the progressive grassroots want to take back the White House, the US Congress and our local governments, we have to start by taking back Wall Street. We don't need lawsuits, we need porfolios!

You're all asking what we can do about the Conservative Movement. The distribution of capital must be balanced. FDR started on the right path with Social Security and the SEC, but nobody caught on to what really needed to happen. Question: what is the most powerful statement that you can give an elected representative in a letter or interview? "I am a voter in your district, and whether I support you or not depends on how you deal with my issues." So, we need to make another statement just as powerful. "I am a shareholder in your company, and whether I support your bid for reelection to the Board of Directors depends on how you deal with my issues." Howard Dean started Democracy for America. We need Democracy for Wall Street.

The Board of Directors for every company in the country is who is making these decisions. If we buy their stocks, we can vote the Board of Directors out of office! Everyone on the Liberal side is running away from the stock market, and the Conservatives are laughing all the way to the board room. We need a Union centered campaign to get these SOB's off the Boards. If everyone in a union could pitch in $100, we'd have enough to buy enough stock to take over the company those union members are working for. It has to be a coordinated effort, and it must begin now.

Progressive means people against Big Money, but we have to fight fire with fire. BUY THEIR STOCK, VOTE THEM OUT!

This blog will be a place for us to talk about taking back this country, one share of stock at a time.
