SUNLIGHT FOUNDATION - Ask Your Representative To Co-Sponsor The Super Congress Transparency Bill
Congress created the Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction to pass on the responsibility of deciding where to cut $1.5 trillion from the national deficit. The 12 lawmakers selected to make this decision have been given incredible power, one that will have a monumental impact on our country for years to come. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that the decisions the Committee makes -- and the people and organizations who try to influence those decisions -- be known to the public.
Representative Loebsack recently introduced HR 2860, the Deficit Committee Transparency Act, to help implement common sense measures that will guarantee that the interests of the American people are being placed first and foremost in this process. But this bill needs support if it's ever going to become law.
Already, Representatives Quigley, Renacci, Conyers, and Pingree have decided to cosponsor this bipartisan initiative. What about your elected officials?
Call now to ask your representatives to acosponsor HR 2860 -- or congratulate them if they've already done so. Without support from the Hill and your elected officials, there’s little hope that the interests of the American people will be placed first and foremost in this process.

DCPI confirmed to us that there have been several arrests, but does not have specific numbers yet. Occupy Wall Street is saying that in total there have been at least 55 arrested, and at least five maced.

No. No way. Simply because the so called super congress is not authorized by our constitution and in violation of my State's guarantee of a republican form of government. Anything they pass is in violation of my representation in Congress. They are null and void. If they profess they have such powers, enact laws which compel me or my fellow citizens to require money or any action on my part, then they are in violation of federal law, American common law and statutory laws. They will become immediate criminals and subject to conviction for treason and subversion. To surmise; FUCK 'EM. Do not in any manner let them think they have legitimacy. They are criminals from the start and they know it. We have to start putting these criminals in place and giving them NO input whatsoever because you cannot deal with those who think they have power they don't posses.
