The practice of austerity initiatives to cut social programs, teachers, libraries, postal services, Medicare, etc, is unacceptable. This movement by the "other 99%" has exploded in occupations and rallies all across America. As of today, there are over 1300 occupations formed in the U.S<VAR id=yiv1729238319yui-ie-cursor></VAR>. in just 3 weeks! We hope it is the start of a paradigm shift toward a true democracy. </SPAN></DIV>
