Ready to host a screening of CITIZEN KOCH in your local theater?

Then you've come to the right place!

We've partnered withTUGG.COM, an online-platform that helps individuals, groups and organizations organize their own personalized one-off screenings in theaters across the country. It allows audiences to bring movies on demand to local theaters that aren't otherwise booking the film.

It's simple. You pick the time, place and date, and Tugg will reserve the theater and give you a personalized event page for your screening.

In order to make your screening happen, you need to pre-sell a certain amount of tickets in order for the event to be confirmed!

First, select Citizen Koch from the Tugg library(http://www.tugg.com/titles/citizen-koch) and follow the instructions.

Once you get your event page, it's time to spread the word to your community and let folks know they need to purchase tickets in advance. Once enough tickets are sold, your event will be confirmed and you can sit back and enjoy the show!

If there aren't enough tickets sold, then no one will be charged for the reservation and the screening will be called off. So make sure to meet the threshold.

We've created this resource kit to guide you through the process of hosting your screening.

Step One: Setup Your Screening On Tugg

To get started, you'll need to fill out an Event Request Form, which you can do here www.tugg.com/become-a-promoter/citizen-koch

Tugg Tools ? The folks at Tugg have created a number of tools to help you maximize your outreach efforts ? read this to learn how to message your attendees and track the success of your outreach.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] John Oliver Net Neutrality
Message-ID: <43BEF298-B6B8-45C5-8C25-FD70C8294AB4@mcn.org>

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/06/04/1304409/-John-Oliver-breaks-FCC-gov?detail=email#



John Oliver's epic 13 minutes on "preventing cable company fuckery" really resonated with the public. It resonated so much that it broke the FCC's website comment system. It also generated 22,000 comments to the Federal Communications Commission in just a few days.
Oliver didn't do it all alone?comments to the FCC since it voted to forward a two-tiered internet plan that would create a fast lane for the companies that could pay for it are breaking records.

The FCC has received more than 45,000 comments on the net neutrality proposals since May 15.
Those just account for the comments filed to the official electronic commenting system. Separately, the FCC says it's received 300,000 emails in a special inbox it set up in late April for the public to weigh in on its open Internet proposal. For context, the next highest number of formal comments on an FCC measure is just under 2,000.

That's some context. It also doesn't count the emails and comments it received prior to May 15, when the proposal hadn't yet been formally presented. Nor does it count all the petition signatures that have been forwarded to the FCC from organizations like Daily Kos. The FCC has never sen the likes of this campaign to preserve net neutrality, which is slightly sad, considering some of the really horrible telecom mergers it's decided on in the past few decades.
But it's a testament to how essential a free and open internet is to life in our society. Because what is more dry, more arcane and more eye-glazingly dull than federal regulatory policy on broadband? What could possibly push hundreds of thousands of people to go the FCC's website and comment on that regulatory policy? Hating cable companies is probably part of the motivation, described well by Oliver. But the larger part is how ingrained the internet is in our daily lives. We should keep it.

Sign and send Daily Kos's petition to the FCC to make the internet is a public utility.

Subject: Petition: Reform our student loan system
From:    "Tom Udall" <info at tomudall.com>

Dear Agnes,

Students graduating from college have a lot to think about. Striking out
on their own for the first time and finding a job and career path is a
daunting experience to say the least.

But for those struggling under the weight of college loans, it's even
tougher. The average student borrower owes around $29,400. And total
student loan debt has tripled in the last decade to more than $1 trillion.

Meanwhile, high interest rates make paying down those debts in a
reasonable time frame next to impossible.

That's why I'm joining with my colleague, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and
other Senate Democrats to reform our student loan system and give
borrowers the option to refinance their loans at a lower rate. Will you
sign our petition?

http://action.tomudall.com/e140606

Student loan debt doesn't just affect borrowers and their families. It has
a ripple effect across our entire economy. The extra money spent paying
down exorbitant interest could be also spent on a car, on a mortgage, or
in their communities.

Giving students the option to refinance their loans, just like a homeowner
or a business is able to, will help students get ahead and provide a much
needed boost to our economy.

I hope you'll join me and my colleagues in support of student loan reform.

http://action.tomudall.com/e140606

Thanks,

Tom

Hi OMers !

I've heard the 'Good bye B of A party' was a success.  I'd love to hear from any of you who joined in for info to post on our Facebook page.  

How many people came?

How were the Occupies?

Any response from the Bank people?

How'd the guard take it all?  (We'll have to find him a new job!)

Did you do any music?

Any stories of  interest? 

etc.

Love, Ricardo

Hi Rally Folks, 
I wrote this up... But because I wasn't there, and only heard about , would like to have some feedback to be more accurate.

Word is that the Good Bye B of A rally was a success on May 30.  Quite a few people attended and the security guard came over and was offered a slice of a tasty  'Occupie'. Songs were sung as the B of A left Fort Bragg.  The event was to thank the employees who worked there and to let them know their work was valued. Also to let them know that the heads of the Bank were and still are doing great damage to this country.  

Help me or write your own entry. I'll post on FB

Richard

And yes, pushing this fascist

In Peace, Robin





As far as raising money, sounds like you did pretty well. Anyone
running for office ends up paying out of their own pocket somewhat and
Robin you didn't end up with much personal expense and you should expect
some.
So much work to be done. Many issues that must be faced. Or
oblivion. Bart

>>> To see him today, now aged 78, sitting on his wooden chair, surrounded by books and silence, a pair of sandals on his feet and a bust of Che Guevara opposite him, you might take Mujica for some Latino Diogenes, a benevolent patriarch, the last man on Earth and obviously indignant. He is also one of the few people to have experienced nothingness, spending two years' captivity at the bottom of a well.
>>> 
>>> He describes himself as a "humble peasant", meeting us at his small farm out in the countryside, about half an hour's drive from Montevideo. He speaks of himself and his native Uruguay in the first person plural: "We are a republican voice for the world." By which, one supposes, he means a possible future, a path, however modest, to take for the common good with politics as its ethical base and honesty as its guiding light. "I re-read Plato in search of keys to understand what is going on, for nothing is completely new," he explains. A very personal way of recalling the warning he issued to the United Nations general assembly in September 2013: "Politics, which should rule human relations, has succumbed to economics and become a mere administrator of what the financial system does not control."
>>> 
>>> The international media have described him as "the most incredible politician" or indeed "the best leader in the world". Some have suggested he should win the next Nobel peace prize. He is also thought to be the world's poorest president, because he gives almost 90% of his income to low-income housing organisations. He is not very keen on such labels. "My definition of poverty is the one we owe to Seneca: It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, who is poor."
>>> 
>>> Predictably he is now the object of Mujicamania, sufficient to make some of his opponents forget he was once a guerrillero belonging to a movement that kidnapped people and robbed banks. Indeed his fellow-travellers are often among his harshest critics, mainly because he wouldn't support repeal of the amnesty for acts of torture committed under the dictatorship.
>>> 
>>> The US magazine Foreign Policy nevertheless included him in its leading global thinkers of 2013. "When Venezuelan President Hugo Ch?vez died in March, many assumed that the resurgent Latin American left would die with the blustering populist in the red shirts [...] In breaking with Ch?vez's overt anti-Americanism and also with Latin America's deep-seated social conservatism, Mujica is pointing to a possible path forward for his comrades."
>>> 
>>> Mujica excelled on the campaign trail. At no point in the presidential campaign did he consider watering down his manifesto. Not once did he temper his discourse to attract opposition votes, a stance he later explained to the Brazilian weekly Carta Capital. "Even during summit meetings with world leaders," he explained, "leaders tell me I'm right. But nothing happens. That's why I go on repeating the same things. You have to persist and try to convince people." To which he added, with a smile: "I have the aggressive courage to speak out. It's not done in the modern world, where people conceal and disguise their feelings. Maybe that's why I get people's attention."
>>> 
>>> Jos? Mujica, left, with two other members of the Tupamaros guerrilla group on 14 March 1985, the day of their liberation as political prisoners. Photograph: Agencia Camaratres/AFP/Getty
>>> After two years in office Mujica legalised abortion up to the third month of pregnancy. Even with substantial restrictions, this law is unique in South America. Less than a year later a bill authorising same-sex marriages was passed. Uruguay legalised divorce in 1913. "Yes, we have an innovatory spirit, deeply rooted in our history," he asserts. "We're a country of immigrants, anarchists and persecuted people from all over the world. The result is the most secular country in Latin America, with a clear distinction between church and state. For my part, I'm president but I don't believe in God." You would never hear anything of the sort in neighbouring countries. But in June 2013 he received a warm welcome when he met Pope Francis.
>>> 
>>> The pinnacle of his presidential career came in June 2012 when defence minister Eleuterio Fern?ndez Huidobro announced that the state would be taking over the production and sale of marijuana, which would be legalised and regulated. Compared with the experiments under way in the US, in Colorado and Washington, in the Netherlands and Spain, this system seemed so avant garde that the journalists present thought it might be a hoax. But the bill was passed and came into force last month.
>>> 
>>> Before the end of this year, by which time a new crop will have grown and a market set up, adult Uruguayan consumers registered with the authorities will be able to purchase up to 40g of marijuana a month at chemists, paying $1 per gram. It will be produced and marketed under government control. Consumers will also be allowed to grow their own in a neighbourhood co-operative or indeed at home, limited to no more than six plants per household. Somehow this is typical of Mujica, who says he has never smoked a joint and knows very well that 62% of voters are opposed to legalisation, yet has no qualms about launching the world's first state-grown marijuana. He says it is a question of public security and that he is determined to separate consumers from dealers, and marijuana from other narcotics.
>>> 
>>> Drug trafficking has reached alarming levels in Latin America but has spared Uruguay, where the number of users is relatively low. "There's a saying among farming people here," Mujica explains. "When you see your neighbour's beard on fire, you drench your own." Adding, with a smile: "This law is a trial. It doesn't mean we have the final answer. But our neighbours will have to take a look at our little country which might actually be a perfect location for this experiment." He pushes his chair back. "The only thing I'm sure of is that the policy of combating drugs which has been enforced for decades is a crashing failure. I'm glad we've kicked over the ant hill."
>>> 
>>> Members of his inner circle acknowledge that Mujica only recently became interested in the issue. But they hasten to add he researched and read a lot on the topic, often on his own, before making up his mind, in agreement with only a few members of the government. "Only someone like him would dare commit themselves to such an unpopular decision," says the young member of parliament Sebastian Sabini, who helped draft the bill. "Mujica is already a historic figure and is not afraid, a bit like Fran?ois Mitterrand when he abolished capital punishment," says political scientist Adolfo Garce, pointing out that the Tupamaros were always slightly transgressive, "rather obsessed with the idea of shocking middle-class values". Perhaps that is why he agreed to Barack Obama's request to take five prisoners from Guant?namo.
>>> 
>>> Mujica sees himself as an anarchist, "but we all have our inner conflicts", he says. Then in a sudden outburst he adds: "I think recognition of gay marriage, abortion and the law on marijuana all represent progress. But they will really achieve something when there is less of a gap between the poor, the destitute and the very rich." He stands up. Neither the landline on his small desk nor his mobile have rung in the past two hours. "Everyone knows I don't like it, so people rarely call," he says, before stepping outside.
>>> 
>>> To see him posing for a photograph alongside his three-legged dog and his two blue Volkswagen Beetles reminds of a comment by political commentator and well-known Mujica critic Graziano Pascale. He said Mujica resembled "a slightly potty old uncle, like you find in every family". He may indeed be a bit crazy, but he is also captivating and quite unique among world leaders. He says goodbye and turns to look at his wooden chair, suggesting he wants to get on with his extraordinary life and his books. "You know what getting old means? No longer wanting to leave home."

Occupy Mendocino General Assembly,

June 7, 2014

Present: Agnes, Anne, Bob, Daniel, Karel, Linda, Sheila; $13 collected.

I.           Grand Jury. To date Linda and Agnes have sent in their Grand Jury complaints. Agnes read her email, which highlights certain areas we might want to include in our complaints.

II.         Bank of America farewell party. The party was fun, was well-attended, lots of occu-pies for all, and thank yous to Mendo Litho and others. Richard, via email, requests photos for website. $11.50 was collected in donations. Kate Erickson took photos for her blog and I?ll call and ask her to send me the photos.

III.       Friday Rally. Mark, please contact the Fort Bragg and Mendocino papers and change our blurb so it reads: Wells Fargo rally at Safeway from 3 to 4 p.m. and Chase rally at Main and Alder from 4 to 5 p.m. We?ll be making signs that say ?Chase ?Chase? Away.? 
Note: If someone sees the parking space in from of Chase empty on Fridays, please park there and save it for the rally signs.

IV.       Community Rights Network. Petitioning is going well. The deadline for petitions is June 24 and the petitions will be turned into the Registrar of Voters in Ukiah on June 25. Everyone is encouraged to attend the ?turning in.? 
We have an important anti-fracking CRN event at Town Hall tonight (Saturday, June 7). Video of the event can be seen at www.mendocinotv.com.

V.         4th of July Parade. We want all community activists to come together to march under a Community Rights banner with posters stating ?Communication,? ?Collaboration,? ?Compassion,? and ?Connection.? All community groups concerned about the ?commons? are invited to join. Other posters will reflect the politics of the different groups: Occupy/OPC/CRN/County Charter/SEIU/Move to Amend, etc. and might say: Get Out the Vote, Vote to Stop Fracking (remember our ordinance will be on the November ballot).
Sheila to write an email requesting groups to join us; we will email it out to the Greens list, Announce list, Occupy list, and any other available list.

VI.       June 3 Election. It was agreed that Robin Sunlight did well in the election for County Recorder (25% of vote). Unfortunately, only a little over 18% of the electorate voted. Bring Sunbeam signs to Agnes for return to Robin.

VII.     County Charter. Now that the election is over, we?ll be working on the county charter and presenting the slide show to various groups to get them on board to push for the Board of Supervisors to put the ordinance on the ballot.

VIII.   Fundraising.

A.     Citizen Koch movie. Richard has reserved the Coast Cinema in Fort Bragg for Monday, July 21 for a screening of Citizen Koch, a film about the Koch brothers Charles and David, and others of their ilk. The trailer can be seen at www.citizenkoch.com/page/content/trailer. We need to find out how much it costs to rent the film and if it makes sense for us to take this on at this time. Please check out the trailer and email us if you can be part of the organizing of this event.

B.     Garage sale. We plan to have a garage sale in the next few months; time is unknown right now. Perhaps a 99-cent sale. We will check with the Chocolate Company (next door to BofA) to find out who the landlord is and if we can get permission to do the garage sale there.

Meeting Adjoured.

Hello OM,  I checked into getting the TUGG company to reserve Coast Cinema for Citizen Koch.  Because  they do not have an agreement with CC they could not arrange a showing there.  I suggested making an agreement with them!  Wait and see what transpires and what alternatives TUGG offers.

With Tugg, people can pick movies to show at local theaters
Tugg's library includes independent, foreign and specialty films as well as repertory titles. Anyone can select a film and a theater; if enough tickets sell in advance, the movie is shown.

Nearly 400 people crammed into an auditorium at the Chinese 6 Theatres in the Hollywood & Highland shopping center to watch "One Day on Earth," a documentary made by thousands of volunteer filmmakers around the world to promote awareness about climate change and other global issues.

The sold-out screening Sunday afternoon was organized not by the theater or a major studio, but by filmmakers who promoted the movie to their fans through a new service called Tugg Inc. The Austin, Texas, start-up has launched a grass-roots movie distribution business that enables consumers to select the movies they want to see at local theaters.

You?re missing out on history:

931,561 people and counting have added their name calling for a Constitutional amendment to end Citizens United.

But -- we don?t see your name. This is your chance to strike a serious blow to a system that allows the Koch brothers and special interests to buy elections and drown out the voices of regular Americans. This is your chance to stand up for our democracy (and cause Boehner and his backers a major embarrassment!).

We?re just 68,439 signatures short of hitting our goal of 1,000,000 signatures. Will you add your name now?

Yesallwomen: Misogynist's Massacre Opens a Vein on Twitter
Jun 02, 2014

Print Article
He despised women as badly as he wanted them.

Elliot Rodger's rants blamed women for rejecting him. His manifesto declared a desire to kill as many as possible. He was a part of Men's Rights Activist communities, spaces supportive of men who feel oppressed when denied sex by women they want. Last week, Rodger killed six people and injured 13 in Isla Vista, California, near UC Santa Barbara, before killing himself.

The tragically routine conversations surfaced soon after the attack: the pleas for sensible gun control and better mental illness treatment. Some questioned whether the sheriff's deputies, having been alerted to Rodger's dark YouTube videos by his family members before the attack, would have been as quick to determine he was a "nice kid" if he had been a different race or religion.

But an unexpected response also took root on Twitter. The hashtag #YesAllWomen began in answer to the defensive response that "not all men" are violent. (For God's sake, we know this.) The #YesAllWomen hashtag been used more than a million times since the killings to describe the small and large ways in which everyday misogyny infects women's lives: the negotiations and mental calculations we take for granted.

The same day this hashtag began, I had scolded my daughter for walking one flight in a hotel stairwell without me. That's a place where people can be sexually assaulted, I told her. Never walk in a stairwell alone.

She's 11.

I'll continue to teach her these kinds of survival skills throughout her life: Always call and wait for campus security when walking home at night in college. Never leave a drink unattended. Hold your keys between your knuckles when walking to your car at night. Check the backseat before getting into a vehicle after dark. Be careful about getting in a car, an elevator, any enclosed space alone with a man.

I have internalized these habits and do them instinctively.

Rape, harassment and sexual abuse of girls and women are so common that it is a default position to teach our daughters: Be aware. Be cautious. Be vigilant.

But all the personal vigilance in the world is not enough to protect ourselves. The female victims of male violence cross every category we create -- age, ethnicity, social class.

As parents of a son as well, my husband and I will continue to teach him what it means to treat women with dignity and respect in every interaction. I will make an effort to point out to him the elements of culture that objectify half of humanity.

Who knows how the connection between culture and violence precisely works? We do know, however, that it is men who commit more than 90 percent of murders in this world, according to the World Homicide Survey. Rapists, by and large, are men. The onus of addressing that rests upon all of us.

It doesn't typically occur to us to speak out about the ordinary, ambient violence we witness or experience on a regular basis.

Who are these men who feel entitled to harass a woman as she walks down a street?

Who are these men who put their uninvited hands on a woman's body in a club?

Who are these men who email rape threats to women who write opinions with which they disagree?

Of course, it's not all men. But, as author and blogger Chuck Wendig wrote in response, it's still too many men.

Four men and two women were slain by a 22-year-old man possessed by a demented ideology. His horrific, sick actions and vile words have not gone unchallenged. The women who have publicly borne witness to what must change are engaged in an act of courage.

Yes, all women can share a story in which they feared anger, hatred or violence from a man, whether by an individual or simply by the threat that hangs in the air of an empty parking lot.

Yes, all men should hear it.

?  MoveOn
members rally in NYC!  

Right-wing billionaires Charles and David Koch are taking aim at November's elections. MoveOn members are fighting back.
Can you host an "America Has a Koch Problem"movie party in Mendocino on Saturday, June 28 or Sunday, June
29? We'll send you a free DVD of the film Koch Brothers Exposed: 2014 Edition and help you every step of the way. 


Host
a Movie Party!  
 
Dear MoveOn member, ? 
America has a Koch problem?and it's coming to a head this November.?
Right-wing oil billionaires Charles and David Koch are two of the wealthiest people in the world.1 They don't
hesitate to buy politicians and policies that advance their own business interests. Thanks to the Supreme Court's Citizens
United and recent McCutcheon decisions, there's virtually no limit on what they can spend.
The Koch brothers are gearing up to pour at least $125 million into November's elections?backing candidates who'll
vote to decimate Social Security, overturn voting rights, block any shot at curbing global warming, and make it impossible
for people to get health care or earn a decent wage.2
In order to neutralize the Koch brother's pernicious impact on our democracy, we must first understand it. That's why MoveOn
members are gathering on Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29 at hundreds of "America Has a Koch Problem" movie
parties to watch Koch Brothers Exposed: 2014 Edition, the critically-acclaimed new release from our friends at
Brave New Films. After the film, we'll begin planning a powerful nation-wide campaign to end the Koch brothers' toxic influence
on our democracy.
Will you host an America Has a Koch Problem?movie party in Mendocino on Saturday, June 28 or Sunday, June 29?
After you plan your event, we'll mail you a free, limited-edition DVD! 

Yes, I'd like to host an
America Has a Koch Problem movie party.
Charles and David Koch?alone?were responsible for one quarter of all the private money spent to influence the
2012 election.3 Yet even with all their money, things didn't turn out exactly as Charles and David thought they
would in 2012. The progressive community's field efforts were stronger and more strategic, our message to the American people
more compelling.4 Now, as the Kochs scramble to figure out what went wrong, they're feeling the wear and tear
that comes from an American public fighting hard for the future of our nation.5
It's the perfect time to turn up the heat.?
We'll sit down at the end of June to watch Koch Brothers Exposed so that we can stand up together and fight back.
Because when we fight back, we win.
Hosting a movie screening is easy and rewarding. We'll 
provide an online guide, invite MoveOn members in your area (and help you recruit other folks to join), and
supply you with creative ideas for effective local Koch-free organizing. 

Will you join me and host an America Has a Koch Problem movie party in Mendocino on June 28 or 29? 

Yes, I'd like to host an
America Has a Koch Problem?movie party on June 28 or 29.
I know this work can feel daunting. But for the first time, the problem of big money and corporate corruption in U.S. politics
has a public face: the Koch brothers, two of the wealthiest Americans who are fueling the demise of everything that you and
I?and millions like us?cherish about our nation.6
That's why, across the country, courageous people are fighting back!  

	* Just last week, hundreds of MoveOn members and allies in New York took this fight to David 
Koch's front door, staging a bold block party where they projected Koch Brothers Exposed on the side of his swanky
Park Avenue apartment building.7  
?? 
	* In Wake County, North Carolina, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a Koch-driven political advocacy organization, led a public
school board takeover which effectively ended student busing and resegregated the schools. Thousands of parents and students
fought back and voted out the conservative slate!8 
? 
	* In Detroit, Michigan, community members and legislators fought off a Koch-funded effort that would have cut the pensions
of Detroit workers and sold off the city's precious art collection. Community organizing focused a harsh, national spotlight
on the Kochs.9? 
We're building a diverse and dynamic movement to beat back the Kochs' ultra-conservative ideology?and this summer,
we're stepping it up.? 

Click here to host an America
Has a Koch Problem?movie party on June 28 or 29.  

This summer, we'll tell the Koch brothers that America cannot be bought. 

Charles and David Koch will become the high-stakes poster boys for the corrosive impact of money in politics. MoveOn members
like you will make sure that politicians who take Koch funds feel the burn that comes from toxic money. Together, we'll save
the Senate in 2014 and lay the ground for dramatic wins in 2016.
Here's to making summer 2014 a time Charles and David Koch?and all of us?will never forget. 

Thanks for all you do,
?Garlin, Victoria, Jess, Kate, and the rest of the team

Exposed here.

only help us if we can demonstrate real support for this approach. It is by
far the most comprehensive strategy to save the life-support-system of
Earth, and the only way that can withstand being declared unconstitutional

Hi OM,

I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama which says:

"President Obama and Congress, don't take new military action in Iraq. The solution to the chaos is not another American military intervention, including bombing strikes. President Obama was right to end the Iraq War in 2011, and it would be a tremendous mistake to restart it now."

Message-ID: <D7A72B0D-0566-4A5A-ACA2-C5D6F290D482@mcn.org>

David Brat: Free-Market Purist, Ayn Rand Devotee
By Ryan Lizza, The New Yorker
12 June 14
 
n January 14th, David Brat, the college professor who defeated House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Tuesday, in a Republican primary in Virginia, was reading the Wall Street Journal?s opinion section when the premise of his improbable campaign was revealed to him.

Randall Stephenson, the C.E.O. of AT&T, had recently been named chairman of the Business Roundtable, a pro-Republican group that is made up of C.E.O.s from major American companies and has spent well over a hundred million dollars lobbying Congress during the past decade. Stephenson was a good fit for the organization. AT&T is known as a G.O.P.-leaning company; in their political donations, its political-action committees and employees have favored Republicans over Democratsalmost two to one in the past two election cycles. Stephenson?s piece, which came after a year of Tea Party-inspired upheaval in the House, was called ?A Business Short List for Growth,? and in it he laid out his group?s policy agenda for Congress in 2014. At the top of the list for Stephenson was ?stability,? by which he meant an end to the crisis policymaking that has regularly threatened a government shutdown or debt default in recent years.

Brat, a free-market purist and a devotee of Ayn Rand, read the op-ed and turned to his wife. As he recounted several times on the trail this spring, he told her, ?This guy just wrote my stump speech for me!? What was useful to Brat about the Wall Street Journal article was not that it echoed his own views, but that it clarified for him everything that Cantor was for and that Brat was against. ?Stability,? for Brat, was simply code for a status quo in which companies like AT&T fleece the government.

From what I?ve observed, Brat has not talked like a forty-seven-per-cent conservative complaining about how tax dollars are being shovelled to the undeserving poor (although maybe he does believe that and didn?t emphasize it in the campaign). He comes across, instead, like a ninety-nine-per-cent conservative who sees the real villain as corporate America and its addiction to government largesse. One of his biggest applause lines is about how bankers should have gone to jail after the 2008 financial crisis. Brat is the Elizabeth Warren of the right.

The divisions within the Republican Party since 2010 are not always obvious from the shorthand we commonly use: Tea Party versus establishment, conservatives versus moderates, outsiders versus insiders. Brat?s stump speech, inspired by the country?s top corporate-lobbying group, was notable for the clarity with which it defined these often opaque categories. Eric Cantor ?is running on the Chamber of Commerce growth plan,? Brat told a small gathering at the Life Church in Hanover, Virginia, last April. ?The Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable. If you?re in big business, he?s good for you. But if you?re in any other group, it?s not good for you.?

What Wall Street was asking from Washington was, ?Just keep it stable for us so we can make profits.? Brat went on:

I?m an economist. I?m pro-business. I?m pro-big business making profits. But what I?m absolutely against is big business in bed with big government. And that?s the problem.
Put aside for a second whether it?s actually true that a C.E.O.?s plea for an end to fiscal brinksmanship is actually a mask for extracting corporate subsidies. The more interesting phenomenon is that, for Tea Party conservatives, the Wall Street Journal?s editorial page had morphed into the voice of the enemy.

In his campaign against Cantor, Brat turned every issue into a morality tale about big business cheating ordinary Americans. He attacked Cantor for supporting the farm bill (?Do those billions of dollars go to the small American farmer? No, they go to huge agribusiness, right? Big business again.?), the flood-insurance bill (?Who does that go to? A lot of the money goes to gazillionaires on both coasts who have homes in nice real-estate locations.?), and the STOCK Act, an effort to stop insider trading by congressmen, which Cantor gutted by including an exception for spouses. In his Stephenson-inspired stump speech, Brat was more worked up about the STOCK Act than anything else. He promised, ?If you tell your friends or neighbors about this issue, I will be your next congressman!?

Granted, at the core of Brat?s ideology is an unvarnished belief, one that does not maintain majority support in any recent national poll that I have encountered, that the government should return to its pre-New Deal roots. This is not surprising. He?s a libertarian. But his message, which today is being embraced by Tea Party candidates around the country, is also sharply different from the Romney-Ryan view of limited government celebrated by Republicans in 2012.

Instead of lecturing the most vulnerable about the moral beauty of the marketplace, Brat targets the most well off. ?Free markets!? he declared in Hanover, like a teacher about to reveal the essence of the lesson. ?In a nutshell, what does it mean??

It means no one is shown favoritism. Everyone is treated equally. Every firm, every business, and you compete fairly. And no one, if you?re big or small, is shown special attention. And we?re losing that.
If this sounds familiar, it?s because it?s the kind of rhetoric that Ralph Nader, and even Noam Chomsky, have used for many years to pillory the government for protecting the rich and the well connected from the vagaries of the free market.

By the end of the campaign, immigration reform, another policy championed by Stephenson in his op-ed, had become Brat?s most visible point of attack against Cantor. But even here, Brat framed the issue within his larger argument about corporate welfare, arguing that the Senate bill would reward big business with a stream of cheap labor at the expense of American workers. (And anyone who followed the debate over the Senate bill knows that it was larded with favors for big corporations.)

Of course, Brat is hardly the first Republican to articulate a conservative-populist case against big business?that element has been present in the Tea Party since its inception. But it?s important to note that his astonishing victory last night over the sitting Majority Leader was not just about amnesty. As far as I have seen, it was not an anti-immigrant campaign specifically capitalizing on nativist sentiment. Brat ran an anti-Wall Street and an anti-corporate-welfare campaign, and it won?t be the last one.

Cantor was oblivious to the wave that was building back in his district, in the suburbs of Richmond. On the morning of the election, he was at a Washington coffee shop raising money from lobbyists.

Katharine Sacks-Jones, head of policy and campaigns at Crisis, said: "This is happening in a context where rough sleeping has gone up massively. Over the last three years rough sleeping has risen by 36% nationally and by 75% in London. More than 6,400 people slept rough in London last year."
"The reason for that increase is the continuing economic downturn, the housing shortage, and cuts to benefits, particularly housing benefit."

WikiLeaks Releases Secret Draft of World Trade Agreement That Prevents Bank Regulation
By CBC News
20 June 14
 
eal among 50 countries would help prevent added regulation of financial services, website says

WikiLeaks has published what it calls "the secret draft text for the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA) Financial Services Annex," apparently covering 50 countries and most of the world's trade in services.

WikiLeaks: Secret Trade in Services Agreement document
Julian Assange: The man behind WikiLeaks
WikiLeaks players and key moments
"The draft Financial Services Annex sets rules which would assist the expansion of financial multinationals ? mainly headquartered in New York, London, Paris and Frankfurt ? into other nations by preventing regulatory barriers," the website says in a statement.

The draft deal is seen as a way to prevent more regulation of financial services, despite calls for tighter regulatory measures that followed the 2007-08 world financial crisis. That market meltdown set the world's biggest banks up against critics who said governments needed to rein them in.

Canada is among the countries named as being partner to the negotiations. The last round of TISA talks took place April 28 to May 2 in Geneva.

WikiLeaks also alleged in its statement that the U.S. is "particularly keen on boosting cross-border data flow" and that this would include personal and financial data.

On Wednesday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange promised the release of a massive cache of documents Thursday, involving 50 countries, including Canada.

Speaking with reporters Wednesday in London, where he has taken refuge in the Ecuadoran Embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden, Assange also said he plans to mount a new legal challenge to the Swedish sexual assault allegations he is facing.

During his teleconference, he also urged U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to end a four-year-long grand jury investigation of Assange and WikiLeaks.

"National security reporters are required by their profession to have intimate interactions in order to assess and verify and investigate the nature of the material that they are dealing with," he said. "So I call on Eric Holder today to immediately drop the ongoing national security investigation against WikiLeaks or resign."

The words Communication, Collaboration, Compassion & Connection will be held separate banners (in green) as the basic foundation for all networking operations.
  
A group of Brazilian samba drummers (Batucada) has agreed to march with us.
  
Banners & signs with individual messages are welcome. We will have the signs and banners; we need the marchers to carry them.

Please respond if you are planning to join us or have ideas to help make this a true grassroots presentation.

Occupy Mendocino General Assembly

June 21, 2014

Present: Agnes, Bob, Daniel, Irene, Jessie, Linda, Mark, Sheila

Facilitator: Agnes
Secretary: Linda
Stacker: Mark

Process: Raise your hand, be acknowledged by stacker, estimate how much time you need.

Community Rights Network. Deadline for Fort Bragg petitions is Tuesday by noon to Caitlin. Petitions to be submitted to Registrar of Voters in Ukiah June 26. Agnes, Bob, Sheila, and Linda worked on the signature jam. Looks like we?ll be on the Nov. ballot. Good work, all!

4th of July parade. Sheila wrote an email requesting other groups to join us under the banner Grassroots Democracy. The request was emailed to the Announce list, Mendocino list, Green list, CRN list, Occupy list. A Green friend of Sheila?s will be making green posters stating: ?Compassion,? ?Collaboration,? ?Compassion,? and ?Connection.? 
    The parade application was filled out. Whether or not we?ll have a vehicle is yet to be determined. Application to be sent in by June 30 by Linda.
    The parade sign-making party will be Saturday, July 28, from 1?3 at Linda?s in Fort Bragg. Call 964-8985 for directions.
    We passed the hat and collected $20 for the parade. It?s free, but they appreciate donations.

County charter. Agnes reported that they?re waiting word from Robin to get together to revise the charter to include John McCowen?s suggestions. Once that?s done, we?ll, hopefully, have three votes on the Board of Supervisors to put the measure on the ballot.

Mass incarceration. Irene reported that October has been named the month of resistance to mass incarceration. Hopefully, we?ll be a part of that movement. Agnes stated that the Matt Taibbi book, ?The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap,? talks about police made to get as many arrests as possible on the books so stats are up, even if the arrests are shams. The majority of arrests are to people of color. Check out http://stopmassincarceration.net.

Friday rally. Bob and Sheila have been demonstrating at Wells Fargo from 3 to 5 p.m.; more folks attend the 4 to 5 p.m. Chase rally.

Citizen Koch film. The film can?t be screened at Coast Cinema; it?s not part of the chain of theaters that does those types of events.

Yard sale. Next Friday Linda will check with Julie, owner of Mendocino Chocolate Co. as to who the owner of the property is. Then we?ll ask if we can have a garage sale there at the Bank of America property.

Miscellaneous.

Today, June 21, is Solstice. Sheila just attended a Native American ceremony. The leader said that protecting our water is our most important issue. That matriarchal healing energy is the healing energy of the planet, as women understand the concept of nurturing.

Sheila acknowledged the work and commitment of our Occupy Mendocino core members.

The Department of Public Toxic Substances is returning to the coast in July for public comment.

Ed has asked the Board of Supervisors to hold off on their ban on fracking if the CRN ordinance gets on the ballot. This way, voters won?t get confused about two possibly similar sounding ordinances.

Meeting adjourned.

Our application to be included in the parade needs to be submitted by Monday, June 30. Are we using a vehicle? If so, what?s the license number (needed for the application).
Thank you,

Comment: The expansion of the Cordell Bank and Gulf of the 
Farallones National Marine Sanctuaries is important for protection of the 
fragile marine life on the California Coast, but I feel it should be extended 
past Pt. Arena up to the Oregon border. Congressman Jared Huffman recently wrote 
an article addressing Ocean acidification on the North Coast of California, 
which is especially dangerous in the areas of natural upwelling of organic 
matter toward the surface, where it absorbs CO2 from the air. This absorption of 
excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is lowering the Ph level in the Ocean, 
and is having a huge impact on the seafood industry in California, which has 
been supporting 146,000 jobs and is a $24-billion industry. There are several 
marine scientists studying the acidification problem in Bodega Bay and the 
Tomales Bay Oyster Co. and the entire fishing industry is now at risk. The 
oceans absorb a quarter or more of all the carbon dioxide humankind puts into 
the atmosphere, estimated at 22 million tons a day, in addition to the estimated 
525 billion tons absorbed over the past two centuries. This is causing oysters 
and starfish to die off from acid eating the calcium carbonate in their shells 
and membranes. There has been an alarming rise in the number of seals and sea 
lion pups that have been stranded and are starving, for unknown reasons. This 
year 446 stranded marine mammals had to be rescued and taken to the Marine 
Mammal Rescue Centers in Sausalito and San Rafael, and that was as of May. 
Congressman Huffman is introducing bills to address these problems, but the 
science is in the early stages and we must act fast to protect and study our 
Ocean, or there will be huge dead zones where we now have upwellings that 
produce huge amounts of food for the planet. Due to the drought in California, 
our Salmon fishery is also in danger, and there is only a 11 day window for 
fishing for Salmon this year, as the fry had to be trucked from hatcheries and 
dropped in the ocean before they were grown to a size which would guarantee many 
would survive. The entire fishing industry is at risk, given that the role of 
calcium carbonate synthesis in skeletal development. This acidification could 
disrupt the entire food web, from the lowest phytoplankton on up to the largest 
fish and whales. We do not want to see Oysters or Salmon become extincted! If we 
allow the Ocean to die, we are truly doomed! There are many problems caused by 
human impacts, such as pollution, areas of low oxygen and rampant overfishing. 
This puts the need to protect our North Coast all the way up to Oregon in a high 
priority. 
Please extend the National Marine Sanctuary up to the Oregon 
border, so we can scientifically study the solutions to the problems caused by 
Ocean industrialization, and stop killing the ocean with pollution, overfishing, 
CO2, plastics, agricultural dumping, and all the other causes of the decline in 
the health of the ocean. If we lose our ocean we will not survive as a 
planet.

Whereas California?s quakes are spread throughout the state, seismic activity in Oklahoma is concentrated in the central and northern part of the state ? areas where oil and gas drilling, otherwise known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking, has increased in recent years. In Oklahoma as a whole, drilling doubled between 2009 and 2012.

Multi-millionaire Nick Hanauer is no dummy. He sees the writing on the wall.
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the-pitchforks-are-coming-for-us-plutocrats-108014.html

So for as long as there has been capitalism, capitalists have said the same thing about any effort to raise wages. We?ve had 75 years of complaints from big business?when the minimum wage was instituted, when women had to be paid equitable amounts, when child labor laws were created. Every time the capitalists said exactly the same thing in the same way: We?re all going to go bankrupt. I?ll have to close. I?ll have to lay everyone off. It hasn?t happened. In fact, the data show that when workers are better treated, business gets better. The naysayers are just wrong.

The most insidious thing about trickle-down economics isn?t believing that if the rich get richer, it?s good for the economy. It?s believing that if the poor get richer, it?s bad for the economy.

p. Greetings my Relatives, Friends and Supporters

??

As I have said so many times in the past I am deeply and truly honored
that you remember me on this day and I am honored to have my words read to
you today.?? I think this commemoration day should be about the lives of
all our people who in some way lived and died for us.

??

By the time of the Oglala shoot-out there had already been some 60
something of our Native people killed.?? These people are the ones we are
commemorating here today.?? I always especially remember Joe Stunz,?? who
was a mentor to some of the younger boys in the community. ??

??

Of all the things I want us to remember today and everyday, I want us to
remember who??WE??are, I want us to remember where WE came from, I want us
to remember our ancestors that we are so proud of , and I want us to live
in such a way that our children and our children???s-children will look
back at us and be proud of who??they??are because of what we??were.??

??

??

??

I want to see a day where our people do not have to depend on any other
source than ourselves.??

??

I want to see a day where our people aren???t suffering from the bitter
cold in the winter months.??

??

A day where our people are not suffering from mal-nutrition?? and improper
medical care.

??

I want to see fires burning inside well built homes that are not unstable
and falling apart.

??

I want to see a day where alcoholism and drug abuse is not rampant
throughout indian country. ??

 If any of you want to come and sell things to make $ for OM, please let me know after the 4th. The regular fee is $25. Just one vehicle.

Greetings,
Submitted our 4th of July parade application today and the folks there were quite pleased with our donation.
I asked us to be put next to Fort Bragg Grange in the parade and not behind the horses.
Am looking forward to seeing you all and being part of this wonderful tradition.
Cheers,
Linda
