SIDE ONE 

 

VOTE FOR MICHAEL BROWN JR, NOVEMBER 4TH 2014

Vote because that is one of the only legal political muscles we have left in this country, and only between 12-20% have been flexing that muscle. Your vote counts more in local and state elections than on national issues. The city is 49.5% African American, and most of North County is more than 60% African American.

Vote because you want to send a message the “leaders” will understand. Right now they only talk to the constituents that vote for them, and only when they need campaign money or support. That needs to change. If we all vote, then they have to reach out to all of us.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, ST LOUIS COUNTY VOTERS NEED TO SEND A MESSAGE THIS FALL: BOB MCCULLOCH IS RUNNING UNOPPOSED AGAIN. GET A PAPER BALLOT AT THE POLLS AND WRITE IN “MICHAEL BROWN JR” FOR PROSECUTOR. It would say a lot if Brown got more votes than McCulloch.

On November 5^th, call the Board of Election Commissioners and verify that they counted and reported your vote. 

SIDE TWO 

 

REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER

The day AFTER the elections, join the “Armchair Revolution” and “phone it in”. Don't go to work. Don't go to school. Don't buy anything. More than anything, the people in power need us to continue business as usual. Without our labor or consumption, they have no profits. They need us more than we need them. And we have more power than we realize if we stand together for real change.

On the 5^th, spend the day calling every elected official on a local, state and national level, and tell them what you need: Justice for Mike Brown? Job programs? $15 an hour minimum wage? Access to better health care? Solvent, healthy public schools? Better public transportation? No more GMO's? An end to tax credits and incentives for large corporations? A recognition of our First Amendment rights and the dismissal of all illegal “failure to disperse” arrests in Ferguson? JAM THE PHONE LINES WITH DEMANDS!

WE THE PEOPLE pay for the government. Without us they have nothing. Vote on 11/4, and on 11/5, be part of the revolution.
