It is true, we need a raise. We have worked hard, hit all our benchmarks and not mismanaged our resources, unlike many CEOs.

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post submitted to us by Alyssa Vincent. As Occupy Together is rebuilding to help people plug into the movement and give them the tools and resources they need to become engaged, we thought this would be a great guest feature to highlight.

America needs a youth movement. As our generation comes of age, our country is coming apart. Our opportunities are drying up and our democracy is increasingly controlled by a tiny few. At this moment, we have a choice: we can save our future or sit by as it's squandered by those in power.

Call Rep. Jim Watson (R-Jacksonville) at 217-243-6221 and ask "Why did the Congressman vote NO on the Bullying Prevention amendment in HB5290?" Post the responses that you get from the staff member as a comment to this post.

Here's the background information: In March, 2012, Rep. Kelly M. Cassidy (D-Chicago) introduced an anti-bullying bill in the Illinois House of Representatives. HB5290 (amendment 2) would have schools go beyond criticizing bullying and adopt “a bullying prevention policy.” These policies would define bullying and be clear that it is illegal; explain how allegations of bullying could be made anonymously; and describe what penalties bullies would be subject to, such as counseling or community service. The measure DID pass the House 61-49, but failed in the Senate by 1 vote.
