Occupy Kansas City Takes Direct Action to Protect Voting Rights and Fight Corporate Influence in State and National Politics

70 Cities Nationwide Stand up to Corporate Greed and ALEC

National Day of Action to Resist the Selling Out of the 99%
On February 29th, concerned citizens, students, and occupiers in Kansas City, Missouri and over seventy US cities , including Occupy Wall Street (NYC), are standing up to the corporations and legislators involved in American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The biggest corporations in America, including AT&T, ExxonMobil, Peabody Coal, Bank of America, BP, Monsanto, Pfizer, and Wal-Mart use ALEC to buy off legislators and craft legislation that puts corporate profit over the well-being of ordinary people. Here in Missouri, legislative members of ALEC - in the Missouri Senate and House - are advancing an anti-democratic bill (HB 1104) that is a direct assault on the voting rights of people of color, the poor, elderly, and students. These same Missouri legislative members of ALEC are also pushing a bill to attack undocumented workers (SB 590) and overhaul workplace protections against discrimination (SB 592).

ALEC members in Missouri, corporate and political, have hijacked our democracy and are attacking the civil and working rights of the 99%. They are attempting to turn the Missouri state motto - “The welfare of the people shall be the supreme law” - on its head .

This assault on the 99% will not go unchallenged here in Kansas City. In response to a national call from Occupy Portland, this will be the Occupy Movement’s largest coordinated action this year and will confront ALEC corporations in the cities in which they do business throughout the nation.

“ALEC is attacking the rights of the 99% to vote. They’re trying to put in place an unnecessary barrier to our right to vote,”said Melissa Stiehler of Occupy Kansas City. “We’re here to remind our legislators that voting is a right, not a privilege."

ALEC is comprised of state and federal government legislators and many of America’s biggest corporations. In ALEC task-forces and committees, lobbyists work directly with legislators to draft and advance cookie-cutter “model” bills that serve the interests of the corporations rather than people. ALEC is responsible for some of the most anti-democratic, repressive, and discriminatory legislation to pass through the halls of government.Wisconsin Act 10, attacking public employee unions, mirrors ALEC’s anti-union agenda and was introduced by Governor Scott Walker, an ALEC member from 1993-2002. Arizona’s widely criticized Racial Profiling bill (SB1070) also has roots in ALEC model legislation.

“SB 590 is an attack on every child’s right to an education. Missouri State Senator, Will Kraus and Kansas Secretary of State, Kris Kobach want to scare immigrant families away from our schools and out of our communities. Our message to them is that we are all the 99%,” said Jeremy Al-Haj of Occupy Kansas City.

Occupy Kansas City will be rallying at the Feltcher Daniels State Office Building at 4:00 PM and marching on a corporate ALEC member. Activists will place tents and occupy the corporation’s property to protest voter suppression, anti-immigrant legislation, and other attacks on the 99%. A coalition of trade unions, faith-based organizations, and human rights advocates will be participating in the event.

THE SHAME - JOCO

Those of us that live in JOCO need to heads a little lower today.  It turns out that we are no longer one of the wealthiest counties in the United States and can not be considered a county of 1%ers.   It turns out that we are nothing more than the tallest midget, the highest jumping white guy etc... of the counties in the metro.

We needn't look any further than Roeland Park, Merriam, Fairway and West Olathe for our recent demise.  It is time that we strongly consider removing these burdens from our county charter so that we can once again be the elitist that we deserve to be.

You have to feel for Dana Wright

Whoever thought that leaving Scott Parks on at 2pm with Dana Wright would be a good idea needs to start reevaluating their decision.   This guy ruined Mike Shannin and he is now going to kill Dana's career before it even gets started which is too bad because she could be interesting and fun (despite her politics).  

Listening to the show past 3pm doesn't make sense.  We have heard Scott Parks repeat the same crap and deal with his insecurities for the past 5 years and nobody likes repeats.  

Sorry Dana.

Can you make the homeless homeless?

Thanks to a story I read on Tony's Kansas City I found out that YES you can make the homeless homeless.   This is typical of Kansas City.  See, the people that run the city can't make peoples lives any better BUT they have a long history of making people who are all ready miserable even more worst off.

It's the HIGHER plan and city leaders have flawlessly executed it now for over 40 years. 
  • Murder Rate, Higher
  • Unemployment, Higher
  • Uneducated, Higher
  • Homelessness, Higher
  • Taxes, Higher
  • Poverty Rate, Higher
The only thing that is lower is the life expectancy and expectations of the city's residents.
