We need to start a campaign which will flood the twitter feeds of the congressmen and women and senators. The messages should be concise and focused. To start, everyone should tweet to every congessman and woman the following
We are the 99%
and that's it. It would act as a wakeup call to our government that we are out there and getting ready for real change. As the movement moves forward, the messages should become targeted.
who's with me?
what are you going to link them back to? noise? You need to occupy the wiki FIRST and then you will have something meaningful to twitter them ABOUT.

I have been active here since the very beginning, and since the very beginning I have been trying to make some core points. These points clearly have not been digested or fully understood by the mob, and so I'm going to try to make a further attempt here again.
For these reasons, I beg of you to please immediately join me on the wiki. We need to have all of these details and all of these ideas put together in an organized fashion, rather than posted in a long scrawl which will never be read.

Thanks for the long post. I totally agree with you that this web site will not function as a way to truly organize. It's more of a propaganda site where people can vent in this one forum. I've bought the occupybillofrights.com and .org domain names. I've also purchased a few other domain names targeted an open democracies through the development of a world constitution and voting system. Personally, the two pillars of our society are its constitution and a method of guaranteed free and fair elections. That was during the Arab uprising in Egypt and Libya.
We need to be able to fully organize across the internet using the tools the web provides to do so. I can't join the GA meeting in NYC etc. I'll spend some time on your sites to see what you've put together. Cheers.
way ahead of ya my good man.
corporations do not have tongues!!
I've been Tweeting this video. I think it's very well done and the song is perfect! What do you think? http://youtu.be/EFNcEXFS7wU
Inspiring video. "They have the money, but we have our soles" will only last for a while. Eventually, those with the money will take our soles as well. It's called slavery. Only we can put a stop to this craziness going on in our market economy....
if they take my soles, i'll go to good will and by a new pair. jokin', my soul is full of love for you.
Easy, effective. Should consider most congressmen don't ever check their twitter personally. But every effort has an impact, whether or not it ever reaches the ears of the working class
If done right, it'll be all over the 5pm news.... The news media can't get enough of twitter.
Excellent idea, Stephen. Good thinking.
So how do we push this idea to make it happen? Start an occupy twitter web site?
Unfortunately I'm the wrong guy to ask. I know absolutely nothing about Twitter. Nothing against Twitter personally, I just don't have an account. Starting an Occupy Twitter website does sound like a good first step, luckily anyone can start one. No one needs any kind of 'official' permission to do so. I'm kind of surprised no one has done it yet. How about you?
