Sign Petition in Support of Senator Shirley Turner's Resolution Senate Concurrent Resolution #244
IMPORTANCE OF THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT
Help Preserve Free Speech and the Right to Assemble
On December 8, 2011, State Senator Shirley Turner, LD#15 Mercer County , introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution #244 in support of Occupy Trenton’s protest against economic inequality and excessive money in politics, and their right to assemble peaceably.
The Occupy movement is a grassroots protest movement primarily directed against economic and social inequality.
The Occupy movement began in New York City on September 17, 2011, and has since spread to cities and communities across the United States.
The Occupy movement was inspired in part by the federal government’s bailout of large banks in 2008 to help recover from the risky lending practices of those banks in the preceding years and is representative of the growing discontent with the influence of money in politics and the economic disparity that is widening the income gap between the wealthiest 1 percent and the other 99 percent of the population.
Economic inequalities and excessive money in politics have lead to class resentment, social discord, and a shrinking middle class.
During the course of the Occupy movement, there have been numerous instances of police violence directed against the protesters.
Under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, Americans enjoy the fundamental right to assemble peaceably and voice their political views.
The preservation of First Amendment guarantees is paramount to our freedoms and our democracy as well as the longstanding American tradition of free and robust political discourse.
The Occupy movement must be free to voice their concerns and must not have their constitutional rights trammeled through the use of police violence and other means.
Such as the proposed new rules for the WWII Veteran's Memorial , that proves everyday our right to free speech and assemble are under attack .
Please sign petition in support of Senator Turner's Resolution and contact your state senator and assembly members, ask them to co-sponsor Senate Concurrent Resolution #244.

i support this because our democracy is being bought by big money interests and it needs to stop before we lose everything
Finally someone in office is paying attention. The 99 percent are sick of being ignored while the banks get richer. About time.
