To learn more and see the schedule GO HERE
In support of this effort and to spread the word Chuck Sperry is giving you my fine readers the chance to win 9 of his Occupy Posters. That's right 9 people will win the poster and one lucky random person will win his beautiful Mind Spring Poster along with the Occupy Poster. We did have the idea of giving away 99 of them to represent the 99%, but that was going to be very difficult.
The Mind Spring poster is an edition of 50 22 x 28 6 color silkscreen
Now go to the top of the post above the picture and click on comments to leave a comment about what you think should be done to make things better to have a chance at winning the poster. Don't worry if your comment does not appear immediately I have to approve them before they are published. I will use the random number generator to pick a winner. Entries are limited to ONE PER PERSON PER HOUSEHOLD. Please leave your name with the comment, comments without names will not be accepted. Entries will be accepted until midnight PDT Saturday July 21 that's two days to enter with the winner announced on Sunday.
Since some people can't read instructions if you leave more than one comment I will be deleting them all and you will have to do it again, meaning if Sally leaves 3 comments I will delete them all and she will have to do it again. ONE comment per person. It's not that hard, we're not saving lives here just giving away a poster.
Thank you to Chuck Sperry for providing an insane amount of posters for the giveaway and for supporting the Occupy Movement

Corporate greed leads to social and economic inequality, the amount of people at or below "poverty level" and unemployed and homeless is disgraceful to allow to occur for far too long. Maybe we should take lessons out of the The Dobe Ju/'hoansi culture where people look after each other and share food, while in our country more goes to waste - while plenty are hungry. If we can find a happy medium, we would all be better off.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity and Chuck's work speaks for itself!

Clearly nothings being done to regulate the financial sector. There was an opportunity for appropriate regulations w/the financial collapse of '08. Instead of breaking up these banks, there are now actually fewer banks w/more $ and power. It has to stop and these people need to be held accountable for their misdeeds when the next collapse occurs.
ReplyDeleteThanks as always!

ReplyDeleteNice... Could this be my first Sperry???
ReplyDeleteWe need banks to focus on the customer, rather than the shareholder.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chuck, for this great opportunity for a great cause. What I think would be an enormous step for the Occupy movement is a centralized location on the internet to place ideas, with a petition-type voting system, where the public can decide in an effective and organized manner how they think change should come about. As someone who has never participated in an Occupy protest, I feel too uninformed to participate in discussions about it - and, at the risk of representing other opinions than my own, I think that's likely a problem others share.
ReplyDeleteI genuinely would love a simplistic rundown on what the public consensus is on problems occurring, shown in an easy-to-comprehend manner, and the ability to see what the 'general public' believes can be done.
As someone who's never participated in an Occupy movement protest, I have failed at understanding it; seeing it only as people in financial dire straits complaining that the wealthy are too wealthy, and holding flags up to bring about change. I know this is not what the movement is about, but it would be nice to hear what the movement IS about.
I think if everyone was just given a a single cupcake every morning with their favorite frosting flavor everyone would start their day with so much more love in their heart. With all of this extra love in their hearts, people can move foward making better decisions for our society as a whole! You have to feel better in order to do better. And once you do better, you feel better! It's a win/win situation!

Leaving behind the antiquated 2 party system would do wonders for cleaning out much of the corporate filth in politics - we need a new generation of thinkers leading us not yesterdays money grabbers.
ReplyDeleteAaron Harlow
The financial sector needs to take accountability for their actions - more than just paying a "fine" with the interest that was made on the money the took from their "customers." As for the American youth, we need to form a concentrated movement against the Baby Boomer elitists that are dividing our country. The only way to do this is vote them out of Washington and to OCCUPY.

Raising awareness that the 99% includes people who are doing ok, even people driving BMWs and Buicks, would make people think. People thinking that champage and lets face it, art prints, are only for the actually-very-rich are missing the point. The super-rich are very different. Shut 'em down.

ReplyDeleteTax reform that is not as corporation friendly as the current system. Complicated issue, but all signs point back to the dollar bill.
ReplyDeleteI am local to the Bay Area and have been following the Occupy Protests in both San Francisco and Oakland for about a year now. I agree with Chuck that there needs to be an awakening sense of people power and I think that the citizens of the Bay Area have been awakened!
ReplyDeleteI think that it will take strong action to make the changes needed to get this country back on track and Chuck Sperry's "This Is Our City and We Can Shut It Down" is a great message that will continue to motivate people to do what is necessary for change.
We are the people and we have the power to SHUT IT DOWN.

Maybe we should use some of the oil that we "liberated" to lower gas prices. You cannot expect people to purchase goods or taking vacations (also more costly due to gas prices) when they are worried about about the price of gas... Isn't it funny how gas prices are lower during an election year... Just sayin

Revise and simplify the tax code and close the loop holes that exist!
ReplyDeleteHere in Canada, we need the pubic to be aware of government spending and give them a chance to voice concern before our politicians spend billions of dollars in wasted services and expenses.
ReplyDeleteBankers need to have real consequences. Bankers basically brought down the entire financial system as we know it and instead of the leaders of these banks getting criminal charges they were rewarded with golden parachutes. This won't stop as long as the people at the top know they can keepgettingaway with it

ReplyDeleteThere are many things that need to be addressed to get our great country back on it's feet but corruption and waste in all branches of our government (Federal, State and Local) need to be addressed first. If you don't kill the cancer of corruption/waste, it will perpetuate no matter what else changes.

Lets keep this real and focus where the source of the problem is. Thanks Chuck for the opp.
ReplyDelete-Michael Groover
Everyone needs to change. Beginning with ourselves, people need to be comfortable living within their means - what ever level that is at. Governments need to act for the interests of the people, protecting our savings and pensions through legislation, our bankers need to act responsibly for their clients, and pay responsibly against performance. The stock markets and the people buying shares need to think about what their actions drive companies and banks to do in the search for never ending profits.
ReplyDeleteNo one comes out of this without a need to change, we need to recognise what we can do, and vote for and invest with people who share and demonstrate these values. The first step begins with us
Never let funding for education get cut. Support arts education in schools. Grow a creative class and hope we overtake the corporate control of the masses.
ReplyDeleteThings need to change with regards to how closely connected the financial industry is with those who we elect. Their interests lie in making money.

Thanks for bring this to the forefront. The more education the better off we will all be. People looking at what the government does, is a great start.
ReplyDeleteThe SINGLE biggest thing that we can do to fix this country is for people to start thinking for themselves, rather than believing everything they hear in the media and partaking in the sheeple mentality. Once (if it ever actually happens, which is doubtful) the American public starts asking questions and doing the proper research into who they are electing and what policies their elected officials actually support, and more importantly what is actually being done by their elected officials, the entire political system would be reborn into a true democracy. Too many people follow the mob mentality and like to complain about the things that are wrong with the country before they even understand the real issues. If Americans (and the rest of the world for that matter) actually did their homework and then took the appropriate stance according to the general morality (right vs wrong) inherent in us all, then we would have representatives in government that would be forced to have the people's best interests in mind or lose their positions in the government. We wouldn't have a 2-party political system that people blindly followed because they are "life-long Democrats/Republicans" voting only along party lines because it doesn't require them to think.
ReplyDeleteJust my 2 cents, but the changes definitely need to start with us if we ever hope to make things better for ourselves and fellow Americans.

Put a cap on how much big companies can mark up an item. There's no reason to mark everything 3 to 6 hundred percent what they pay for it. They could be helping people of our nation and still be making a profit off of us at a 200 percent mark up. Even buying locally instead of going over seas helps our nation quite a bit.
