MAKE A COOL VIDEO WITH ALL THE FACTS TO GO VIRAL ON YOUTUBE.
Salary greed, bailout cost, market effects etc. Example - National Geographic population videoCREATE A SHORTENED VERSION OF 'Occupy WallStreet' Something catchy Maybe just 'Occupy'
START A PETITION TO SEND TO GOVERNMENT Ask people to visit local Occupy group to sign petition.
AT END OF OCCUPY VIDEO...ASK PEOPLE TO SEND A LETTER TO A SPECIFIC WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT OFFICE. e-mails can be easily overlooked/deleted, but millions of letters directed to one address has a message Ask the world to send all letters to this one address. Use a template everyone can print/sign/send. Quick. Letters will ask for CHANGE and RULES to STOP taxpayers money from being used to feed the rich.
Everyone agrees with Occupy WallStreet, but most people aren't protestors. Give them guidance to send a letter to Washington using a template. Using a cool video and new name will get people excited to help.
Millions of letters sent from around the world will definitely OCCUPY the government.

The next big step is to have a unified issue that #OWS will get behind: End Corporate Person-hood! Support the Human Worth Amendment! Learn more at: http://occupywallst.org/forum/human-worth-amendment/
theghostofthomasjefferson makes a good point: "This is not a question of politics, of right or wrong. This is a question of intelligence. We must be smart. We enjoy popular support, for now. But to preserve America's good will, we must keep our demands narrow: end the corrupting influence of money in politics. That is something a majority of Americans can get behind. That is something a social movement can achieve. And then, and only then, can the other issues be successfully pursued." You can find him here http://thedeclarationofdesperation.wordpress.com/
1) there are thousands upon thousands already out there. Have you seen Zeitgeist?----------2) The #Occupy movement has earned it's place in history----------3) the first amendment, which includes freedom of speech and to assemble peaceably also includes " petition the Government for a redress of grievances." To date even these petitions have been ignored.-----4) waste of trees. --------If you want to occupy the government (congress) here's the basic idea of how you go about it: https://sites.google.com/site/the99percentdeclaration/
study it carefully.
sorry about the caps. I'm not sure what i did wrong and part of the post was missing. I said "if you want to occupy the government (congress) here's the basic idea of how you go about it: https://sites.google.com/site/the99percentdeclaration/ study it carefully.
Bravo! Here we can go -
I'm the author of the long anti-CU post that included info on the prohibition amendment & used the 83% poll number. I expect to have a meeting on Nov 11 around 5PM at 60 Wall Street to work on the anti-CU constitutional amendment. If you can attend, please reply via "private message". If you cannot attend, please send me any ideas you would like to share with us - especially how to spread this idea to other Occupys & other groups to create massive pressure on congress.
If you live outside of NY, can you help in your state? bensdad = John

The ONLY way to legally effect change is at the ballot box. Study the politicians.
