7. Teddy Roosevelt and FDR

You can find these speeches on youtube under "Teddy Roosevelt Industrial And Social Justice" and "FDR Second Bill Of Rights".
The Teddy Roosevelt clip is audio put up by a great grandson I believe. The FDR speech was filmed because he was too ill to give a public speech. It was done on January 14, 1944. Their ideas cover all the issues that need to be addressed including the rights of business for fair competition.

I realize that the MSM is a screwed up corrupt mess. I still believe that they must be openly challenged and demonstrated against.
By demonstrating you might get coverage that you would otherwise not get.

I realize that Occupy has its own media that is very good. And that the internet and social media are certainly very important.

By challenging the MSM about them not doing their job it at least forces them to defend themselves. It may be one way to really expose them to the public that might actually get traction over time to force changes.

I have gone to Youtube and searched under both titles and those speeches are there. Listen to them carefully. What they are presenting is what the working class must demand of their government.
