So, noting that no one really speaks FOR the OWS movement, here are some MIT people, talking about what they think is next for the Occupy Movement, and some good questions from the audience...which was sadly sparse.

What do YOU think is next for the Occupy Movement? What hopes and wishes do you have?
*What steps can we realistically take to accomplish those goals?
(*HAVE YOU READ MY MOTION?)
New Year's Revolution: Connecting The Dots, Coming Together and Fighting Like Hell! - http://www.nationofchange.org/new-year-s-revolution-connecting-dots-coming-together-and-fighting-hell-1356706171 - Never Give Up Growing The Movement! Go Occupy The Future!
What...?
What should be the next step?
The same thing that should have been our FIRST step.

..disconnect capitalism from democracy

How do you propose we accomplish that, exactly?
EXACTLY:
We can do what 80% of Americans say they want
We can do what 1,900,000 Americans signed
We can do what 363 local & state resolutions call for
We can do what 1,309 American mayors endorsed
Virtually every OWS goal –
jobs, taxes, government honesty, energy, environment, economy
all go back to EXACTLY one place
MONEY IN POLITICS
And there is EXACTLY one first step:

I like the first one..."restoring democracy" is something only citizens themselves can do by "Voting smart, or not at all."
I takes forcing the current cast of clowns into signing pledges.
Grover did it, and he's a fuckin moron.
Pledges... Alright then, let's write one, and see if we can get some traction with it...?
