Purpose
- While Obama dines at a $35,800 a plate fundraiser in the home of a 1% TV producer, we will be one and a half miles away occupying Will Rogers Memorial Park in Beverly Hills to highlight the corrupting role that Big Money plays in politics.
In the aftermath of the Citizens United decision, it is expected that the 2012 presidential race will cost an unprecedented $2,000,000,000.
Furthermore, Obama recently announced that he will accept SuperPAC money, which enables wealthy people and corporations to donate unlimited amounts of money to political campaigns.
- What does this decision say about our leader?
- To whom will Obama be accountable?
The millions of Americans who are poor, hungry and homeless in this country or the 1% of the population that can afford to spend $35,800 on dinner with the President?
Occupy will use this occasion not only to condemn the role of Big Money in politics but also to initiate a fundraising drive to feed the food insecure in Los Angeles.
The money raised will support the LA Hunger Action Network's Veggie Voucher program which doubles the purchasing power of food stamps at farmer's markets.
