OMC MISSION STATEMENT:

OMC VISION STATEMENT:
To be the American leader in Veteran’s application of civil disobedience solutions -- rejuvenating honor, integrity, and freedom.Message from OMC Founder, Veteran Larrs A. Ogren, USMC Corporal:
Mainstream media is not concerned with communicating objective truth on national or international events rather than sustaining a narrow dependency on "constructed bias" that supports an agenda favoring the few over the many.
Organizations such as The Refreshment Center [TRC], among others lay the ground work in fighting for Americans and their access to a truly independent and free press as a right of the citizens of the United States, as set forth in the Constitution; specifically, The First Amendment.
OMC endorses outlets like TRC in their efforts and will collectively work to strengthen an alternative media network that educates, challenges, and inspires a nation to take action toward a return to a people's democracy. This can only exist with an informed citizenry.
With a social media reach from 2 million on average, to approximately 6.5 million since reporting went viral on the National Defense Authorization Act -- OMC sees a need to stand with new media outlets. It is time to assist a free press through public awareness of more outlets like TRC which deserve to be heard by a larger audience, in order to facilitate discourse on important topics that are ignored in mainstream media. The people are no longer waiting for change -- they demand it.
Disclaimer: OccupyMARINES is maintained by VETERANS - approximately 85% Marines, supplemented by Air Force, Navy, Army and by civilian administrators. We are not affiliated with the USMC. We do not take orders from the USMC. We do not represent or affect the USMC.
TRC STATEMENT:
Founder/editor of The Refreshment Center [TRC] and The Road Home, Inc., Gabrielle Price:
First, I fully endorse the work and continued commitment of veterans through OMC for upholding the rights of citizens under the Constitution. The First Amendment is the first defense against tyranny and protection for those individuals and outlets who strive to deliver information and news, the foundation of a democratic society -- which many are witnessing crumble, along with other rights in America.
TRC's goal has always been to uphold that same commitment, no matter the obstacles and retain integrity through reader support rather than corporate sponsorship.
OMC's endorsement helps TRC gain more exposure and has already served to help us branch into radio programming online, bringing that continued commitment through partnerships with other independent organizations on all fronts. We intend to 'pay it forward' for other outlets fighting the good fight as well.
Free speech is a right that we all hold dear and without an independent network of press, the voice of the people remains drowned out by corporate outlets who refuse the duty of their journalistic obligation to the public. In order for the people to redress their grievances, they must know -- with clarity -- what those grievances are, so that they may come together with one voice, united.

TRC's commitment to news remains unwavering. Another commitment I have personally maintained as a former music promoter is celebrating and showcasing independent artists. Through their own net radio programming, OMC has graciously aided TRC in landing a show on the same network, which means The Refreshment Center will be able to deliver a great pool of incredible talent as well as news. The music industry is no stranger to corporate rot and many great artists are waiting in the wings for their time to shine, while the public suffers through corporate noise pollution from bands whose messages often sound like a broken record or a commercial jingle. Independent artists deserve airtime and I very much look forward to bringing musical refreshments from all genres to enjoy and inspire in the new year and beyond.
I thank OMC for their endorsement, their support of all independent media and the work we do at TRC. Above all, my gratitude for their service and continued commitment to the rights and freedoms of the people by vigilantly upholding their sacred oath to the Constitution of the United States.
Tune in to PSNradio.com, LIVE, Wednesday, December 20th from 8 to 10 pm EST where I'll be joining OMC founder, Laz and co-founder Alex, on the OMC Radio Show [Veterans for Truth in Broadcasting] hosted by Crystal Storm. We'll talk about media, future plans for TRC and participate in the live call-in QnA.
