Now this Revolution needs a LEADER to demand respect for the PEOPLE and fight for the PEOPLE'S RIGHTS which have been largely ignored in this Financial CRISIS.
We need to start lobbying high profile citizens to come out and speak for us. Think Jay Z re-releasing Empire State of Mind with occupy verses. ect. We've got to get these guys into the picture.
Oprah as a spokesperson not a leader. Just as Dr. Martin Luther King was a spokesperson for the civil rights movement. She could be the spokesperson for us. LOBBY OPRAH
Oprah. we all need to lobby Oprah. I'm 100% sure that once you get Oprah you WIN she is the tipping point of American culture right now. LOBBY OPRAH

THIS IS LUDICROUS. OF COURSE THIS MOVEMENT NEEDS LEADERSHIP!!!!!!! IT IS IN DANGER OF BACKFIRING.
This movement has done so much good in the way of educating and bringing the masses together against the corrupt system. ( The 99% ) The issues and problems with the system have been identified but NOTHING WILL CHANGE.... UNLESS actual policy reforms are made and fraudsters are held accountable. The problem is all of the corrupt players are actually the ones with the power to take these OWS suggestions and act on them!!!!
As every day goes by, OWS protesters are getting locked up, these are most likely the most dedicated people out there. Slowly the big numbers will diminish and there will be nothing left to show for this movement except a whole lot of people behind bars and great ideas that never blossomed into laws to make a difference.
A comity of good educated people need to spearhead this movement and force specific policy demands. The time for promoting awareness is over, now lets convert the awareness into results!!!!!

Not one leader. What is needed are many leaders, from every state and territory in the nation.
The movement is socio-political, without the corruption or influence of the 1 %.
The way to beat the incumbents is to play the game the way it is currently played.
No need for a billion dollars in corrupt cash to be elected. Use the web for free advertising. Money will be used, of course, so advertise where that money came from, and what the money is being used for.
Do you really need suits and limos and a hundred hangers-on to win an election?
What is the point of protesting? We all know the current system is corrupt to the core.
Start by getting your own representatives voted in, which means the corrupt incumbents get voted out.
a TRON like leader is need. This Artifical Intelligence persona understands the greatness of United States and its role in humanity and knows the GOOD of the ONE is a important as the GOOD of the many!!! National Lampoon has a leader!!!!! Carl Sagan's Balooney Detection kit can filter the slimy and wiggly and slippery statements. The Leader Brings about Six degrees of Freedom. This is a must ... Well Robets have more Freedom anyway....
The Unifying goal is simple. Seven Billion people have 27 Trillion Dollars and they are poor. The Unifying goal is simple 27 trillion dollars makes everyone a billionare!!! so why no jobs.....Hey EXXON is 30 billion and counting which is more than the population on earth!!!! The mission is simple earth has plenty...imagine Saudi Arabia...the jerks wont even give water to YEMEN .....they are sick in the head!!!! So the goal is simple the WORLD depends on the intellect of this movement.
This is the greatest movement in the world....since it brings a NEW thought process into America...making universities think how can we make such ruthless men and women in America.... How can those that are in the hallowed halls be so driven by mean thinking... Why are so many American spying on each other !!!!!! Why are som phones being hacked!!!!!
The movement doesn't need so much a leader as it needs more clear unifying goals and ideas to work towards them. Campaign finance reform is a great issue to tackle, as is a graduated tax scale and change of financial priorities in general. Separate from political aims, I think OWS needs to appeal to the emotional side of being aware of this broken system and all of the flaws and inefficiencies that are inherent within the way it has been working. If OWS could send a story via general assembly vote as a representation of the emotional anguish caused by a failing paradigm, it would be very hard to ignore. This is very much an exercise in raising our collective consciousness. The movement is fertile with ambition, and I'm waiting for a tipping point.
This Revolution needs an anthem. Here it is:
POWER TO THE PEOPLE Anthem of 99%

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!! John Lennon

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!
Why does everyone need a target or someone else to tell them what to do?
We will NEVER cause the change I believe we are trying to affect unless we define our premise in ways that everyone can support you and in a way that revolutionary change can occur. Tackle TRUE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM. Demand laws that state that a politician CANNOT accept or spend ANY contribution that does not come from a citizen that he or she would represent. No PACs...no corporate donations. Even push for a Constitutional Amendment. Everyone would join in on this.
Yeah, this movement needs a leader... so that the right has a face and name to smear and target and make look like a crazy.
No thanks.

Tom Morello is the leader in my family.

OMG...hold on just a second...
ok, WHO IS TOM MORELLO??
Umm, try the Harvard graduate that started Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave and is a champion for underprivileged people the world over!

He makes Tom Morello wealthy by buying his music of course.
It seems to be a catch 22 for this group. The foundation is that it is a leaderless organization but now some are calling for one. The general sense of it is that if a leader is selected or elected than you will lose the core of the movement. On the flip side if you don't have one and continue to allow the absolutly disgracefull people that have been in the forefront of this group continue, it won't succeed.
The PEOPLE were stupid enough to live and borrow beyond their means, banks simply took advantage of this. SOCIALIST European economies were stupid enough to borrow beyond their means rather than say 'NO' to the PEOPLE, and the banks also took advantage of this. The unthinking worship of irrational PEOPLE'S RIGHTS is what caused the financial crisis, and won't get us out of it.
I believe that there are leaders. There are these folks who go on radio telling the world about OW.
no real leader will emerge because REAL leaders speak the truth and there are not enough of us ready for the TRUTH yet.
Obama is the representative of all our concerns and anger against the 1%.
lol
I will be the leader because I am a ninja assassin and a trained negotiator with an army of killer cats that I can unleash at any time.
Naa, but really. I nominate Tom Morello.
