It is awesome how much solidarity exists around this movement nationwide. Now we got the ball rolling. I would humbly suggest that every Occupy Movement begin calling for the move that will scare the pants off of them. The General Strike. Shut it all down. The first week of November. Pass it on.
I think a better idea would be to cause gridlock on Wall Street. No violence, no lawbreaking. It does not have to be traffic, alone. New York excels in traffic gridlock. How about an internet gridlock? Overload some servers. If Wall Street can't do business, the effects will be widely noticed.
Yup, sounds about right. Please consider the following: http://occupywallst.org/forum/what-if-wall-street-saw-this-coming/

Great. Just great. Now explain to the small business owners, who are barely hanging on, how they are supposed to handle not making any money for four days? How do we pay our bills? How do we pay our rent?
You guys have to start thinking things through. Every action causes a reaction. Your actions may end up killing the small fish in the ocean rather than the sharks.

This is exactly what I have been recommending! The old rich guys are drinking their scotch and being amused by this movement, "the hippies are at it again." But when nobody goes to work and nobody is spending any money (gasp, God forbid!) for even one day, the rich old guys won't be amused anymore.

There is a general strike planned for the UK for November 30th. I think it would be a good idea to attempt coordination.
