Occupy Wall Street
The (Washington State) 31st Legislative District Democrats stand in solidarity with our fellow citizens who currently #OccupyWallStreet. We support their goal to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act's separation of commercial and investment banking. Had this act not been repealed, it might have prevented our current financial crisis. We add our voices to the protesters' call for an end to corporate personhood, believing that the Constitution is intended to protect human rights and does not grant those rights to corporations. Furthermore, we call on all Americans to take non-violent action to denounce unlimited and undisclosed contributions by corporations to political campaigns and to demand that democracy be restored to the people.
