Close ALL of your accounts with large banks and use credit unions. STOP paying ridiculous fees for banks to handle your own money. It may be a bit uncomfortable at first, but you'll get over it and adjust. Move money today!

Absolutely right. Promote huge regional banks with tons of branches like Peoples. They have a branch in every Stop & Shop. Make it easy to transfer for most citizens.

A 3rd party is only viable if the OWS makes that its priority. That means lots of work. Sitting in the park with signs is lazy. It served its purpose. The next step must be to organize the 3rd party, choose candidates in every district, and blow the crooks out of office and into prison for the bribes and kickbacks.

The entire protest needs to focus on the BRIBES.

Make it clear. The solution is only a 3rd party. Quit wasting time sitting in the park. Go home, nominate a 3rd party candidate and elect him/her.

Of course everybody is aware of bribery. Failing to focus on bribery is another blunder. Bribery needs to be the key to the protest.

Failure to create a 3rd party is because all Americans including the OWS people are in the propaganda media trance that has all Americans convinced that a 3rd party is impossible. Complete ignorance to this propaganda is missing from OWS.

It is ridiculous to suggest bribe (CAMPAIGN FINANCE) reform.

For 3 decades they keep claiming to do this and all you people can't catch on to the bribes is their reason for living. They love their bribes.

Only public funding with no ads from anybody (an obvious bribe) will prevent bribes.

The OWS ignoring bribery -- proves they are in the same deep trance as the rest of Americans. Read more http://overthecoals.blogspot.com/

Have you ever heard of Community Banks? If you move your money, do the banks a favor and pay your mortgage off too!
