Forum Post: If anyone in Congress wants to join in, you'll be a REAL leader....

... just in case you are a member of Congress reading these posts and can see the handwriting on the wall for the way big business always gets its way, let everyone know who you are. Identify some of the best suggestions on here and tell the press you are in favor of them.
Now THAT's leadership and not cowardice. Franklin D Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr, Robert Kennedy didn't go down in history for secretly getting their palms greased by big business lobbyists.

Bernie Sanders is the only guy I can think of who can take up an OWS banner without flinching. Alan Grayson, who hopefully will be back in the House, would be ok too. I like Kucinich but he may come off a little nutty to the mainstream.

I am a member of Congress.

I can't come out and openly support this movement. Most especially because I am from New York.

All of my Wall Street campaign cash would completely dry up. I need those funds.

Not to mention all of the patronage jobs they provide to my family and friends would completely disappear.

I wish all of you the best of luck, but members of Congress need to be discreet.

Good, what we most immediately need is a comprehensive strategy, and related candidate, that implements all our demands at the same time, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

If we don't get what we were promised then we will quit protesting. We are tired and want to go home. No more clothes and food. We want what we were promised. Get it now or we will out you.
