at this point there are enough people around the entire country to actually make an impact. Being spread across the country is not as effective as actually move massively to one point. The congress, the Fed and many others authorities are responsible for the current situation of the country. It would be reasonable in the future to make all the occupiers gather in DC so our demands can finally be listen #cheers
Many americans of all ages and political views will support this because like it or not we all are in the same bowl...some OWS occupiers could stay in NY while others head to DC and same for other occupiers across the country...its more practical and effective
The lawmakers are the one's who set the stage for this mess. They sold their souls and votes for corporate donations.

When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the State, and calls for an exercise of the power of dissolution.
As I have been saying now for a while...
The entire Occupy movement should come down to DC and camp in Anacostia Park, site of the original Bonus March Encampment in 1932. Do what the Bonus Marchers did. Set up a clean, formal encampment. I'm sure there are enough sponsors who will pay for potties and showers.
Then, every day, all those at the encampment should get up at 6:30 a.m. and march down Maryland Avenue to the Capitol and spend the day visiting their Senators and Representatives. Every day until they get something done, like a nationwide Section 8 subsidy program so that everyone pays 1/3 of their monthly income for housing.
Let's get organized, Fellow Workers!
