Word on the street is that the #OWS movement needs to get the organization wheels in gear and become its own political party. Think of it, hundreds of thousands, millions of Americans coming together for the election outside of the modern and corrupted political system. Has the #OWS coined its president already? Perhaps there is someone from within the movement that could run? Who knows, anything could happen right?

The OWS movement is a conspiracy to hide the president's failed policy? I swear, republicanism has gone completely overboard insane. If anything has failed in America, it is the pathetic (Besides Ron Paul) republican party.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top secretary urged Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings on Friday to instruct city police to remove Occupy Albany protesters from a downtown park near the state Capitol if they tried to remain there after an 11 p.m curfew.
A person familiar with the matter said Cuomo’s secretary, Larry Schwartz, called Jennings late Friday morning and said that State Police, who control half of the park that is partly owned by the state of New York and city of Albany, would remove any protesters who did not comply with a curfew. The position of the governor’s office was in contrast to an earlier plan by Albany police to leave the protesters alone if they were peaceful, even if they stayed overnight.
Occupy Albany demonstrators began arriving at Lafayette/Academy park around noon. Half of the space is state land, the rest city property.

Howie Hawkins, Green Party should be supported in New York State. Check him out, we all got the green party on the next ballot. Nothing to complain about here!
Maybe, if we elected one representative to congress.... Urm, one representative probably won't be much help. We already know that. I am not even sure having a majority of both houses will help, no matter how unlikely that is in the time allotted.
What percentage of the protesters will be old enough to vote in 2012?
I am so old I have been voting for a while. Listen, we are all in this together and we fight together no matter what age! Keep fighting!
Good answer!
