Major League baseball players,empires,groundsmen are all union. They are in the play offs which has the largest viewership of the year including international media coverage. We can sent e-mails to ask for support in the form of sitting on the pitchers mound sometime between innings and refusing to play for a simbolic 1-2 min. This kind of protest can not be ignored by the media because the games are showed worled wide. The players can be reminded that they are playing "the american past time" game and that the money that pays thier saleries and endorsments are from the 99%. They have nothing to loose. I believe the stands will roar with support, and the worlds voice might start to begin to join in. I decided to re post under new tiltle because I didn't think the proper title was picked the first time. Thanks
Wrong I see OWS more in a rainbow movement,though many supporters feel strongly toward inequality in general,many have arrived there through differing paths.Some through poverty,others through,unemployment,some through divorce,See years ago you had hope you would work your way out of it.I don't sense that today in its place I sense despair.And in many way it was technology and the bottom line that is responsible.The bottom line being stock market.Its a machine that is forever tweaking the system for more PROFIT unfortunitly but for a few. And technology helped them to do that,I mean really what does the average home do with there computers mostly social networking,paying bills,and playing games. Now put that same computer in the hands of big business and they'll do nothing but make money with it.
More than a list demands, Occupy Wall Street needs a focal point, a single encompassing issue around which to rally. Many of the complaints I’ve heard are merely symptoms (money in politics, corporate lobbyists, endless bailouts). All of these symptoms and many more flow logically from the powers granted by the courts to corporations over the past 150+ years. The focus of Occupy Wall Street has to be the issue of Corporate Personhood if the movement is to survive and grow.
