10 of my Facebook Friends or Pages - sharing

Facebook friends that inspire.

Today I am sharing some of my Facebook friends and groups that always seem to have a great photo or story to share. Many are entrepreneurs, some sell information about making a living online and others may be authors or protesters.

Still others include themselves in the 99 Percent, blogging and putting videos on about the popular Occupy Main Street movement.

I think many are open to getting NEW friends, or may have Fan or "Like" pages, so you may be able to add them. Here are a few of my favorites:

#1. I'm a Misfit and I Love it (Consulting/Business Services) - lots of pictures and sayings.

#2. Occupy Wall Street - protest news from around the world and the U.S.

#3. Hundreds of Hilarious Pics - like it says. Sometimes an LOL, sometimes a smile.

#4. Twig the Fairy - this person dresses up like a beautiful Fairy and has lots of pics. She actually may BE a fairy, it is hard to tell.

#5. The Alzheimer's Reading Room - (Bob DeMarco) - this Facebook page links up to their website, that features research about Alzheimer's, stories for caregivers, and a lot more.

#6. Seniors for a Democratic Society - lots of great leftie political news and art. Fun.

#7. The FlyLady Facebook page - this Facebook page is great for people who need help organizing and feng shui-ing their home. They have a site too.

#8. Occupy News - More news, photos, and commentary about the Occupy Movement.

#9. Failbook - the worst of Facebook. Some of these are pretty gross, some are bad, and some are pretty funny. Just saying.

#10. The Coffee Party USA Page - the opposite of the Tea Party in many ways.

I have more favorite Facebook pages I will list soon. List yours below as a comment.

Annabel Park, the Coffee Party, and the Occupy Movement (fixed link)

<Version 2: Attn: the link has been fixed below.>

Are you following the Occupy Movement? How about the Coffee Party?

I am.

I am very proud of the people who have gotten out and voiced their concerns with what has happened in Wall Street with the Bail-Out and the Too-Big-To-Fail concept. I don't feel so alone in feeling that these policies are "not sustainable" (per Annabel Park). I am also concerned about my government. I feel like my vote is not helping anymore.

The voting system in the U.S. is broken and needs to be fixed. Plus we need to actually get something done in Washington!

I have been a member of The Coffee Party for awhile, online.  Now they are getting ready to speak out on Monday (tomorrow) with our representatives in Washington to seek common ground.

I like this video, below:

http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/CoffeeP

In this video, Annabelle Park,  the founder of the Coffee Party, explains about the meetings that will begin happening tomorrow between members and their legislators in Washington.


Ms. Park explains that for her, it's not just a matter of Republican vs. Democrat. It's the fact that our political system is broken and needs to be fixed. I totally agree. We have to work together to help break the do-nothing gridlock that has taken over our country.

I agree with Annabel Park that Wall Street must stop gaming the system and buying elections. Citizens United are also concerned about this. Now we have undisclosed and unrestricted donations to candidates. This has led to a government that is responding to donors instead of to the people.

Here are some more of Annabel Park's questions:

Why do we have such big subsidies for big companies? 

What are the reasons behind them? 

What is smart?

What is fair? 

What are our priorities? 

Do we really need all our bases around the world? 

Are our policies in line with our values?

We need to look at the thinking behind these things. We need to focus on Smart Government, not small government. There is a "cognitive" program that goes back to campaign finance laws. People need 6 million dollars to run for office. "This is something we need to put an end to," Ms. Park says, and "we need to have a cultural change" because "the parties have been corrupted by money."

I agree with this so much. This program has callers and questions that are VERY interesting! She handled her negative callers with finesse. I think you will agree!

Check it out and comment below if you want to.

I will be following this story and also what happens later!

As the Coffee Party says, "We the People are the Government. Let's fix it, not drown it!"
