Occupy The Records

A nationally coordinated project to obtain and maintain a database of government records.  This project intends to make use of the public records laws of individual states empowering citizens to make the laws work for them to hold government and its officials to account.

 

“In exercising our rights to public records we will also be teaching and training citizens across the country in the use and value of public records laws.”

We have a Civil Right to Representation of Choice.

Attorney Jim Mueller: “The winner-takes-all system that we inherited from the British and whose purpose is to keep the elite in power is working. The system pits people against each other and the vast majority of the people are the losers. They are losers because the people promoted by a winner takes all system, serve the few people who put them in office. That is the reality.”

Norris Brothers Band

Hello, “Welcome to 2012. The Age of Greed is Over” That’s a line from the new song by the Norris Brothers Band, “Occupy”, which was just released on the Solar Powered Records label. In the first seven days since its release, the song has been played thousands of times in 68 countries world-wide, and it has already been adopted by Occupy movements around the globe.

 

 

The Norris Brothers Band is donating all profit from the sales of this song to the Occupy movement, and is donating the use of the song to all Occupations, world-wide, for whatever their needs may be. Money collected from sales will go back to the closest local occupation whenever possible. The song is now available on iTunes and Amazon, and will be available on all other major online music outlets, world-wide, over the next few days and weeks. Here are links to: Watch the YouTube video ( http://youtu.be/baZ1qnVvwkA ) , Listen to the song ( http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/song_11461740 ), and Download a FREE MP3( http://www.reverbnation.com/832725?exclusive=11461740 ) We also just launched a new website called Rockupy Earth (www.RokupyEarth.com ) that is encouraging other musicians around the world to do the same. Music has always played a significant role in helping to unite people behind a cause, and it’s time for music to help change the world again. The Norris Brothers Band is honored to be able to do our small part in assisting those on the front lines of Occupations all over the world, who are helping all of us to wake up to the truth. Please consider this your permission to use “Occupy” for your local movement, and please post the links above and pass them along to your members, and to anyone else who may benefit. Keep up the good work, and stay in touch. Mitch Norris The Norris Brothers Band www.TheNorrisBrothersBand.com
