This Spring we’ll watch as genetically engineered crops bloom on the open space lands we own, and voted to protect; but we’re unable to. 

This Spring we’ll watch as frack holes spew toxins into our air only a few hundred yards from where our children play. This Spring we'll shudder as the immigrants among us are exploited, de-humanized, and blamed for our failing American Dream. 

This Spring we’ll continue to see our neighbors homes stolen from them by an openly fraudulent banking system where the house always wins. 

This Spring we’ll once again fear the shock and awe of our mighty military. We’ll lay awake fearing the terror of the fog of war. We'll witness and challenge the rising militarization of police forces deployed against this rising movement for true Democracy.

For too long the forces of the 1% have divided us and run roughshod over our rights. The dominant economic and political system have turned democracy into a hoax that only covers the thirst for money and power of a handful of individuals. We pay taxes for services we never see and rail systems never built and “they” ask us for more every year. We’re made to pay higher fees, and they pay themselves higher salaries. Our equity crumbles and their bonuses double. We sweat to pay our debts and the Federal Reserve Bank just makes more money out of thin air and passes that money to the too-big-to-fail banks who park those low interest government loans in higher interest yielding accounts. We are expected to watch as we pay for a recovery for those who wrecked the system, even as they deride the so called class warfare being waged against them. The 99% are not a class, they are the we in we the people. 

Today the people must stand together in solidarity. Together the voices of the 99% will be so loud that the bought-out politicians and their corporate handlers can’t help but hear and respond. 

The time has come to turn the page and move to a new phase of history. The American people are awakening, Boulder is awakening. Join us on March 31st as we kick off the American Spring in Boulder with an 11AM rally at corner of Broadway and Canyon followed by a march through downtown and the Pearl St Mall to the Old County Courthouse.
