"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." -Thomas Jefferson
The 99% Declaration
WHEREAS THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION PROVIDES THAT:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
WE, THE NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in order to form a more perfect Union, by, for and of the PEOPLE, shall elect and convene a NATIONAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY beginning on July 4, 2012 in the City Of Philadelphia.
I. Election of Delegates:
The People, consisting of all United States citizens who have reached the age of 18, regardless of party affiliation and voter registration status, shall elect Two Delegates, one male and one female, by direct vote, from each of the existing 435 Congressional Districts to represent the People at the NATIONAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The office of Delegate shall be open to all United States citizens who have reached the age of 18. No candidate for Delegate to the NATIONAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY will be permitted to run on a party line or use any party label while serving as a Delegate. Election Committees, elected or appointed by local General Assemblies or the Working Group on the 99% Declaration, shall organize, coordinate and transparently fund this election. The voting process shall be free from the corrupting influence of corporate money and all funds raised shall be used for the purpose of funding the election and providing a venue for the Delegates to meet.
II. Meeting of the National General Assembly and Approval of a Petition for a Redress of Grievances:
In addition to ensuring a free and fair election of the Delegates to the NATIONAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY, the Working Group on the 99% Declaration shall be responsible for raising sufficient funds to secure a venue wherein the 870 Delegates may convene, deliberate, consider, vote and ratify a PETITION OF GRIEVANCES to be presented to all 535 members of Congress, the 9 members of the Supreme Court, the President of the United States and each of the political candidates seeking to be elected to federal public office in November 2012. Subject to the voting procedure for the final vote of ratification of the PETITION OF GRIEVANCES as set forth in section III, the Delegates of the National General Assembly shall vote upon and implement their own rules, procedures, agenda, code of conduct, elections or appointments of committee members to efficiently and expeditiously accomplish the People's mandate to present a PETITION OF GRIEVANCES to the government of the United States of America and political candidates before the 2012 election.
III. Content of the Petition for a Redress of Grievances:
The PETITION OF GRIEVANCES shall be non-partisan and specifically address the critical issues now confronting the People of the United States of America. The Delegates shall deliberate and vote upon proposals for the PETITION OF GRIEVANCES and if necessary adjourn for further consultation with the People of the United States of America as our founding fathers conferred during the first two Continental Congresses. The final vote ratifying the PETITION OF GRIEVANCES shall be by simple majority vote by the 870 delegates. A duly elected chairperson of the National General Assembly shall determine the outcome of the final vote on ratification in the event of a tie.

The Founder: My Expression Of Gratitude
I want to take a brief moment to thank all of the elected officials (the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Senators, Congressmen/women, Judges, Lawyers, Secretaries,), and all of the Ambassadors, writers, editors, artist, and everyone else who had worked so hard over the years to make this experiment such a success.
We were the very first Forum-based Group, the largest, the longest lasting, and had the best political art on deviantART. Everyone who came after us modeled themselves after us.
I cannot thank everyone enough for all that they contributed.

About Submissions
Dear DAPoliticalForumClub Members,
As you know, this group have submissions policy regarding deviations that get submitted here. I am going to post them here for future reference. This is to insure that, if you can't find the policy at Hansard-TheLaw, you can find them here:
Amendment III.. Respect Copyright.
Clause A. Do not copy and post entire copyrighted articles. If you wish to reference an article, provide a brief excerpt and include a link to the original source. Generally, excerpts should not exceed two or three paragraphs. This rule also applies to images in signature lines.
Clause B. Be aware, using someone else's artwork, even
Donald Trump, 45th POTUS!!
What does his inaugeration tomorrow mean to you? Do you bless and praise it, or curse and fear his taking the Oath of Office? Will you watch and cheer his taking the oath, or actively protest
Fidel Castro dead at 90.
The news out of Cuba is that Fidel Castro has died. Confirmed by his brother Raul, Castro's remains will be cremated.
His death marks the end of an era in many ways, and Fidel will remain a controversial figure for many years to come. Certainly, he is reviled by many in the Exile community. There is likely much celebrating in Miami and elsewhere. To many across Latin America and the developing world, he was a hero and icon of opposition to US Imperialism. He will be mourned wherever such persons are found.
That is all.

So, in other words, OWS is simply forming a third party? How uneventfully surprising.
