We're in the middle of The Hamptons Film Festival. Susan Sarandon will be less than two buildings away from our assembly... There is a lot of potential for awareness tomorrow! Come to the Hamptons and show your support!!!

Eastern, Long Island is the bedroom where the Wall Street fat cats sleep. They're all out here in the Hamptons while the protests are at Wall Street. If you want to have a revolution, you have to go where the Romanovs are!

Organizers are planning a march on Tuesday that will visit the homes of JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, billionaire David Koch, hedge fund honcho John Paulson, Howard Milstein, and News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch.

The millionaires and billionaires are being targeted for what event organizers called a "willingness to hoard wealth at the expense of the 99%."

Huffington Post, March 21, 2009: "A busload of activists representing working- and middle-class families paid visits Saturday to the lavish homes of American International Group executives to protest the tens of millions of dollars in bonuses awarded by the struggling insurance company after it received a massive federal bailout."

And after that, the House passed the 90% tax on their bonuses. President Obama was all for it. Buildings are buildings. Homes are homes.

Why not occupy the Trump Building? Why not occupy the Bank of America building in NYC? I understand where you're coming from, but going to private homes is not the answer. That's just asking for more arrests when there are better methods abound.

Brilliant! Find out where the banksters have homes and set up camp all around their various homes

Dude! But Obama goes to the hamptons and most of the people there are fellow travelers. Don't protest there.

You have no idea how the working class has been diminished there from all the summer assholes that come out. It's imperative to try to get our villages back from these monsters. We have kids and are losing jobs left and right...
