a growing movement

Submitted by Lookout on Fri, 04/29/2016 - 2:22pm

Earlier this week I learned about the peoples summit in Chicago in June http://www.thepeoplessummit.org/
Yesterday Alpha was talking about trying to create a connection with them. It may live stream?

Earlier today Roger Fox posted the https://brandnewcongress.org site

Today I learned about Breaking Through Power next month that Nader is putting together.

There's something happening here

Ralph was on Hartmann talking about his get together. It will be live streamed. Pretty interesting interview if you've got the time. Each part is about 12 min

I want to conclude by saying the MSM and the powers that be are doing everything in their power to discourage this movement and tell us it is over. I hear many of those sentiments expressed here because we reflect our society like it or not. Stand strong, they are scared. That's why they keep the megaphone blaring that we have lost. We are just getting going. Bernie is down 295 elected delegates. There are 1016 to go. We only need two thirds of them to go into the convention with the most pledged delegates. The states coming up have open primaries. Keep good heart.

Hope you all have a great Friday. See you on the flip side.

I forgot to mention the recent Democracy Spring and Democracy Awakening efforts that were not covered by MSM. However those projects happened just like OWS. Keep moving forward!

BTW I use http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/D-PU.phtml to keep up with delegates.

Not sure yet what all would come out of it, but they have an agenda on their website via the link above. I'm hoping they will include climate justice speakers like Bill McKibben as well.

TPTB are racing to install their global corporatist dictatorship before the bottom falls out of the economy. If they aren't in power when that happens, decades of effort will be lost to the mobs of the impoverished, who aren't going to be nice when they get their hands on those who inflicted neoliberal economic policies on them.

Giving up is exactly what they want you to do. That can't happen.

Bernie is down 295 elected delegates. There are 1016 to go. We only need two thirds of them to go into the convention with the most pledged delegates. The states coming up have open primaries. Keep good heart.

but even with the unaided eye, I can see that it's not over yet.

Bernie is seriously criticizing the Democratic Party, Hillary is saying she isn't going to bend one little bit to meet Bernie's demands, Brand New Congress is getting started, People's Summit in June, and Jill and Bernie are talking.

I see a lot of seedlings growing. I just don't know what will happen next.

I'm glad I lived long enough to witness this, maybe even play a small part.

"Hillary's in big trouble" is the underlying buzz I get out of all that. She's toast between being so stupid as to "dig in" after "offering an olive branch" just two days ago--and that presumptive nominee on the right.

Imagine the hissy fits she's going to throw when Bernie doesn't go down quietly. If he even goes down. Man, she has to be a bitch on wheels right now to the little people working for her...

people are starting to look over their shoulders, sensing breathing behind? Or do they all truly believe that the fix is in, and their cushy jobs are secure? This could be another approach, especially with Brand New Congress nascent.

Early in Bernie's campaign, I thought if it really took off (and it did) that there might be defections, or later born-again electeds. Magic 8-ball says ask later.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
