I clicked it for you ;-)

Some people have reported they can't see the plus buttons. If that's you, please contact me via PM or email me (see my profile page). Tell me the OS, Browser and browser version you are using. I need that information for debugging. Thanks!

The #ROBINHOOD Global March demonstration will be held on the eve of the G20 Leaders Summit in France (hence, Paris chosen as the location). The action at Paris Hotel & Casino is in solidarity with other locations of the Occupy movement as proposed by Adbusters. I have posted further info and links below.

"On October 29, on the eve of the G20 Leaders Summit in France, let's the people of the world rise up and demand that our G20 leaders immediately impose a 1% #ROBINHOOD tax on all financial transactions and currency trades. Let's send them a clear message: We want you to slow down some of that $1.3-trillion easy money that's sloshing around the global casino each day – enough cash to fund every social program and environmental initiative in the world."
