Fight for #1. Keep your Faith in America. Focus on the Greed of a few CEO's. Do Not Broad-Brush. Continue to be Civil, Sanitary, and Orderly. Do Not Let Violence Hijack the Movement. America is gathering around you. Make a List of Demands. Organize a Task Force for each Demand. Get the WORD Out! Ask for Help and Support of Each Demand. Remember, This Is Not About Party- It Is About Uniting Americans Around Good Things. Be Polite to those that disagree with you- This Is All About Winning;..
Fight for #2. Target Barney Frank and Chris Dodd for DEFEAT in the next Election. They started the Home Mortgage Crisis and protected bad banks;..

Fight for #10. Get the WORD out: 6% Pay 60% of IRS Collections. 45% Pay Zero Taxes. Lots of Corps like GE and Not-For-Profit Tax Shelters need to be dealt with. Tell Congress Super Committee: 'Everyone has to tighten their belt one-more-notch';..

Dodd already lost. He was hated in Ct before the election, and had no chance, which was why he dropped out and found a fat job advising the plutocrats somewhere.
Good list, from what I understood, I'd agree with most of it. Although building that fence would cost US the taxpayers alot of money. And it will all go to corporate america in Govt contracts. Plus theirs a far easier way to stop the whole cheap labor issue undermining our workforce. Go after the employers
You are right about the most efficient action. The Feds have stone-walled US, though. I am talking grass-roots. If there are 1,000 people with shovels donating their time to build a fence...There will be private money flowing to support them. Materials will appear. The NRA will stand guard over them. It will grow. People will come.
Oh, lol well im sorry, yea a grassroots old school style construction project would work. But the U.S govt and corporate america would never allow it. Instead some lobbyist backed company would get about a 10 billion dollar contract to do the work, and hire a bunch of the people form south of that same border and pay them 1$ a day to build the fence. And we the tax payers will pick up the bill.
No one is going to get a contract, anytime soon. Old School is: "TRY and let the 'I told you so' roll off your back" (MLK and Teddy R. would understand).
Not very well thought out
Hi Roloff. I invite you to choose one 'point' and clean it up. I will give you all the credit.
