Although OWS is a noble attempt to achieve some semblance of justice and progress, it will not go anywhere unless the masses truly converge. So far OWS has been in the news, on the comedy circuit and used as a device by the politicians. Because there is only a movement that is an idea and no leader to move the movement, it is stagnating. Wobbling between support for other country's protests and a backlash of hatred within the ranks, OWS waits for direction.
I think OWS should morph into OLB, Occupy Liberty Bell or OIH Occupy Independence Hall. Have small peaceful assemblies all winter long in every congressional district spreading the word about the National General Assembly starting July 4th in Philadelphia. Ask the people of Philadelphia to invite their fellow Americans into their homes for the NGA and coordinate this all winter too. Have occasional "occupations" throughout the winter, growing in size as the spring approaches, the WE ARE THE 99% growing louder with each event. This keeps the light shining and the movement looks smart, smells like a rose. Imagine the city of Philadelphia's population doubling or tripling for four days in July 2012.
NGA NOW all roads lead to Philadelphia https://sites.google.com/site/the99percentdeclaration/
OWS is 'Shock To The System' 1991
Shock! to the politicians, you know they just got burned by the fire. Shock to the freedom whisperers, they're only coming at you they're rolling, they're rolling, they're rolling. They're rolling coming over!...
