Just read on Yahoo that Congressional Democrats are beginning to make noise about backing the OWS movement. WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN. Congress in general is controlled by Wall Street. Keep them away from our campaign!
A) hit me with a source for this. Google's not pulling much up.
B) So far as I'm concerned the democrats are just as welcome to come make their voice heard so long as they don't think their politicians will be running this.
Run...don't walk from MoveOn.org!!! Especially from Obama. There's an election coming and he needs to do damage control. Find a leader(s) and get organized.
Of course the democrats endorsed the movement. They are spending a lot of money through the "green energy fund" to keep the park open. Brookfield asset management who owns the park just received $170M from the DOE on Sept 23 through their legal representative Oldaker, Biden & Belair and with the approval of Bloomberg's girlfriend who sits on the board.

Well, the DNC just endorsed your movement. Thank you Democrats, you just put the final nail in Pres. Obama's coffin!!!!
If they do it will in my opinion de-legitimize our cause. What we face is more than simply a political issue. The foundation on which this country was founded is being hijacked and bent in a way that interests one group of people and they are the 1%ers.
Who are the 1%ers you may ask? Well I say they are the large corporations and special interest groups who TRULY run this country. They are the groups of individuals who spend millions upon millions of dollars each year to convince YOUR congressman, YOUR senator, YOUR President to do what best suits them regardless as to what's in the best interest of the rest of the 99% of this country.
Think about it, the root of every problem we face as a county regardless as to political beliefs boils down who's willing to pay the most money to see their agenda done. So until we fix this system of legalized BRIBERY also known as lobbying this country will never ever be the place we dreamed that it could be.
Oh and if you don't believe me, ask yourself when was the last time you tracked down your congressman or senator in the capital between meetings and offered up a large some of money in order to see a piece of legislation passed that best interested you?
