Let me talk briefly about point 1: Consistent message crafting

Yup, you guessed it, I'm going to be that jackass that mentions this for 5000th time. We need a goal. It does not need to be all-encompassing or overreaching. It needs to be clear and concise. Anything else we speak out on must relate in some way to the goal. So what do we want our goal to be? An end to bad banking practices? An end to policy influenced by big money? An end to corrupt government? An end to wars? An anarcho-syndicalist commune? We best figure it out and then spread it out. Otherwise, our all-inclusiveness will be our downfall as more people with more opinions and more agendas and less facts dilute everyone and discourage progress.

  1. Those who broke it should fix it.
  2. Nonviolence - no exceptions
  3. Calm demeanor
  4. Willingness to listen to anyone who has solutions to propose
  5. Being responsible, clean up after yourselves
  6. Remember, Mom's are watching.
  7. Welcoming to anyone who wants to help
  8. Tolerance for those who don't

Please discuss. All opinions fine, all FACTS welcome.

Exactly, but we also need is a comprehensive strategy, and related candidate, that implements all our demands at the same time, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:
