The 1% Solution: Fence Us Out
First, they fenced out the Mexicans and I didn’t speak up because I’m not Mexican,
Next, they fenced in and pepper-sprayed the Occupy Wall Street protesters and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t at OWS,
Then, they fenced out the Syrian Refugees and I didn’t speak up because I’m not a Refugee,
Then, they fenced in the Reporters and I didn’t speak up because I’m not a Reporter,
Then they fenced themselves in Gated Communities and I didn’t speak up because I don’t live near one,
Finally, they fenced out their own Progressive Base at the Democratic National Convention and there was no one left to speak up for me.

Someone should write a Sci-Fi novel, oh wait, we have Elysium. I didn’t read the book but in the movie the 1% have created a beautiful huge space station for themselves and left the rabble to suffer, fight among themselves, and die on the polluted, over crowded Earth below.
How about we decorate the DNC fence with flowers and signs of love and support for our fellow human beings?
Hope it is okay that I posted this at Kossacks for Sanders and here.
Comments
We have nothing in common with the 1%. We need to resist
their takeover of the planet while they impoverish the many.
To support a candidate who represents this class is suicidal, in my view.
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
Saw a great idea in the BNR
Spray paint
"No access...NO VOTES"
All over that wall
It will be painted over very quickly
Spray paint it again... And again... And again
Orwell was an optimist
Chain Link
I believe the fence will be chain link so we would need signs to hang, etc.
BIG signs
Yes, signs, very visible huge lettered signs that will be visible for any media pictures or any news photos from above!
I am glad you posted here. I think spray painting the fence
with messages is a great idea! And I did not know that reporters were being fenced out, so this is news to me.

A Science Fiction Novel
There are a very large number of Science Fiction Novels with similar themes and variations.
Seveneves was a good entirely
depressing book. Ending Utopia did not sit with me.
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.
Just a quick FYI for those who are interested...
Army and National Guard vehicles are easily accessible (They don't have ignition keys), and go through fences with minimal damage to the vehicles. Even when secured, their locks are easily circumvented by a pair of bolt cutters.
I leave this information here as a public service for those who might not otherwise be informed, and suggest NOTHING by this simple statement of fact.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Delighted to hear you are not suggesting anything
because given current law enforcement modus, what you are not suggesting sounds like a probable way for someone to get shot, perhaps fatally.
I like many of your other suggestions and non-suggestions on this site.
Friends, take care of yourselves out there, please.
