Forum Post: Gotta Start Somewhere - Who are the Organizers?

So, who are they? Who put together the Platform? How does one get a hold of these people?

For this to go anywhere, it needs to be structured - ala "The Continental Congress."

True, the movement "needs to be structured", and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

Jacob is the mysterious ruler of this island, though some would argue its Ben. Its certainly not Jack, though some of us wish it were.

Well, forgetting who "prevails" as leader, who are the people in the position of influence? I see first names. How do we learn who they are and how to contact them?

i would follow the mysterious smoke that seems to disappear fast. Ben also sends some lesser minions to the crowd from time to time to get information

Okay, so no contacts and no organization.

Not exactly. I thought I saw Jacob for an instant, but I'm not sure. I'll get Ben next time he's around... but he always seems to be up to something.

I see the information in the General Assembly section, but there's not a list of anyone to contact, other than amorphous crap, like "info@owstreet.com." This anonymity is not a good idea. It spells territorialism (like what killed the Tea Party) or fear.

I think a little patience is warranted. The rest of the country is just revving up. Right now it is a numbers and geography game. All of the 1% needs to start feeling the heat. Occupy Together is facilitating the rest of the country (yes, there is more country out there) to mobilize. The next few days is needed for them to catch up. Then we can think about the process of organizing, vetting, selecting, drafting etc. Be patient. Be steadfast. Br civil. Be inclusive. Be smart. There are a lot of people who want to help and a few who don't.

No problem. I was just wondering. Somebody put together that Platform. It is decent. Not perfect, but decent. There is need for guidance.

I am an attorney and understand this business of laws, law-making and consequences and thought I might seek out contact information if I could help.
