Sorry all, I know I am trying to bomb this forum a little with this idea right now, but in my opinion it is achievable, it is concrete, and it will have a positive ripple effect through every concern that has been raised on this forum. And thus, it should be Occupy's First Demand.
If your not sure what I mean by this ask me or read my earlier post...
If you can dig it....SPREAD IT!
General Strike would make a bigger difference, as an understatement. But yes, definitely am for public funding only of campaigns.

Yes yes yes! This should be the one demand. This is the only demand that is realistic - that the masses will approve of - and that could really make a difference...
spread it!!!
Agree 100% - unless we get some real, loop-hole-free Campaign Finance Reform the chance of obtaining any of the other reforms is almost zero. So many people don't realize those with the money currently OWN the politics of our nation right now. We have to choke off the flow if we ever want representatives that will actually represent the best interest of America. This needs to be THE demand of the protests!
