V vote E Everyone (all incumbents, all parties) T The-Hell O Out
Washington is not listening, they continue to fight instead of solve problems, they are the ones who have been bought out by lobbyists and create the atmosphere where the 1% can continue to control the world. It is time for change, and the best clear message we can send is to vote out EVERY single incumbent. Let me see your signs "VETO 2012) !!
This will bring in all of the middle class people who are fed up with government, your movement will grow exponensially
Your idea is not that bad at all, and it is not naive either, but it can not be easily done as said. However, if the movement progress by Allah's Willing, and it can persuade a reasonable proportion - say about 10 % - of electorates to boycott the elections; then change will come. The change must come from the people - the 99 %, and not from the 1 %.
I might add that voting record is all that counts when you are voting for someone. Stop listening to promises, religious rhetoric and nonsense that draws away from the issues...voting record is all you need to know. Never been a congressman before? look at their life...as a whole, not what the media throws in your face...People live their values.
Nice. Don't take this the wrong way but...what?
Don't you get that America so riddled with connumdrums and cynicism and that it's people like you an your ignorance to the rage of the indebted and highly intelligent that even a prescription drug addiction can't quell but even the idea of another Texan in the white house is crazy.
The last thing we need is another self-styled compassionate cowboy willing to put each an every one of us out of THEIR misery.
How can we do it before their generational wealth strips us of ours? How will those who believe only in the country club agenda they know and love, feel what we feel?
Only when Occupy grows from Wall Street to Shinnecock and Winged Foot, Lakeside to Brentwood Country Club. Let us lay on the 1st tee and keep them from the 19th hole, only then will they cry as our childrens children will if we do not convince them to trade their Callaways for the American Way.
I can only hope and prey that you play golf.
The first and most effective avenue for change is Jury Duty. This much maligned form of Citizenship is actually the fastest, most financially viable way to affect real change that elections used to have but has become nothing more than setting for the generational transfer of cynicism. See anything regarding California's failed experiment with Term Limits.
Why wait 12 months for another serving of hope and change when we can show him the way now? Only through Jury Duty can we begin to affect real change that can happen in every corner of America, next week, next month and next year. Yes, next week. As quickly as the B of A recoiled their $5 fee, we can begin to not just take our nation back but spur forth an economy and thus jobs and tax revenues. Do this and we save health care and all without politicians, bills, laws and John Boehner.
This is the beginning of what I can offer. Unfortunately I am disabled due to an auto accident in which I was struck and am unable to attend Occupy, however what I have is knowledge and experience that anger and time has transformed me into a gem of possibility.
Look at the holdings of insurance companies. They have long been the cause of many of our problems that include the tax-free internet, which is a low and medium-end job destroyer. This alone has destroyed entry-level wages as well as local and state real estate and sales tax revenues.
I know this is boring stuff but this is the type of stuff, from REIT's and MLP's, just tax-free pass-throughs that insurance companies have created to avoid taxes and thus de-government funding.
This is the type of stuff that is the sole of the foot they have placed on our neck and only Jury Duty in Civil Courts have a chance at mathematically and fiancially weakening them so that we can get up and fight them.
This is just the beginning. The meek shall inherit the Earth and this is how. Human generosity towards one and other; paying it forward with other people's money. That's how they do it, it's just our money they have been using against us, now lets use theirs.
Oh, and if you need a game plan, I've got a complete one right here. By the way, how is it we could do worse? Oh, yeah, the Tea Party.
YES YES YES Exactly. Vote out all incumbents in 2012!

We need to set up a people's voting machine, so we can get what we want or withhold taxes and cooperation.
We need to run things from our voting machine, not them. They will only please the big money.
We got most of them out in congress in 2010. We'll get the rest out in the senate and presidency in 2012.
