Whether you like it or not, this movement needs to vote responsibly in the November 2012 election. Its current momentum needs to be translated into a voter bloc that will challenge the Republican/Tea Party/Koch brothers' machine and to vote out of office any of their congresspersons because it is they are the ones with the power to enact laws and policies that hurt the 99%. Whether you like it or not, Obama and the Dems are your only hope.
Continue to ramp up the pressure; make a simple, pointed list of concrete demands that the majority can agree on. No politician who makes it to national prominence is non-obligated to big money. So we need to put the existing legislators under the magnifying glass, and shine the light. We, all of us, together.....can clean up the system and restore the representational democracy within our constitutional republic.

OWS is non-partisan.
Obama is as corrupt as theRepublican/Tea Party/Koch brothers. Don´t you understand wall street are paying all of them.
If Obama or the republicans think they can gain support from the OWS then they in for a big wake up call.
Hey, I understand that your point, but the US political system forces voters to choose among the lesser of the evils. I grew up in a country with a parliamentary system - far better!
Well if the system doesn't work only chance the people got then is to remove the system
See you are dead wrong because it is Obama, the elected democrats, and the democrats' philosophy that has brought the 99% to this point.
So, what do you propose?
Vote for someone else. He had his chance. He and his administration have not done a good job. When you are not doing a good job, you get fired.
Personally, if I were the democrat party, I would do whatever I could to get Hillary or someone else running against him.
