Whether you call it the world financial structure, the U.S. culture of waste, or the ability of the common man to make a decent living, the system is broken. It's time for the common man to go on strike. Join or support the March on Washingon 9/12/2009.
About VoteStrike.com- VoteStrikers don't classify themselves with a label, but are engaged in what could be called "the people's sovereignty movement." They challenge the legitimacy of the US Supreme Court, or any other arm of government, "to bestow upon corporations the immense governing authority" implicit in the conferral of constitutional rights. They base this challenge on a solid founding principle; no governing entity may grant away the people's right to a functional republican form of government. They contend that excessive corporate power has undermined this basic right of the people.
We the people have the power to take our country back and not wait for some politician to fix things. Not by rallies or protest but through simple non-compliance.

I think that to understand how the price of gas got to $4.20 a gallon, we first need to throw out everything the government & corporate media have told us about Big Oil.
Second, we need to understand that if we don't act now that gas will go to $7/8 dollars a gallon or $200. a barrel.
Third, this is not a one-day gas strike or a boycott of certain stations. To reach a solution you must first understand the problem...

You can go along with the program or you can protest and suffer the wrath of the state. Now there is a third option. Like in Chicago or Thailand you can strike. Police, politicians and corporations are all powerless against non-compliance.
