Forum Post: $300,000 raised? I want to see the donations publicly disclosed.

I love the OWS movement. But I am afraid, like many others, that the 1% are going to try to hijack it.

Its awesome that we raised $300k , but can we can maybe a rough list of who donated? We need to keep this movement transparent. This can also help us know if any big 1% groups are trying to hijack us.

The Obama campaign put most of it in using cover names to make it hard to trace. He wants to keep this going to cover up press coverage of his horrendous failures. He is the one that paid off the banks and now wants to stand with us? That is bullshit.

The group that organized this..Adbusters is from Canada. They are openly anti-capitalists. They started OWS.

However I see that the movement has attracted more then the anti-capitalists crowd. I'm not sure they counted on that. Now the people are taking notice of the movement. I am not surprised to see other political types try and step in. When they unleash the “real” agenda, I think most PEOPLE involved in this movement will recognize that. I have witnessed the awakening of many people, who came here for information.

The guy on tv said (approx) 210K is from internet donations and the rest was from cash donations at the park.

The internet donations average out to 47 dollars per donation.

It is all small donations so far.

We especially need to make sure MoveOn didn't donate thousands...
