I don't know if this is the right place for a suggestion about "organizing," so please, monitors, place it under its own heading if you think it helps.

There must be 300,000 or more college students within a one hour public transit ride to the OWS site. (And esp. in other major urban areas like DC and Boston.) We need to get numbers up, and broaden our "kids" educational outlook. So here' the idea:

Send an organizer to likely campuses for an advertised rally; explain that you would like each student there to "count-off," 1-7, 1=Monday, 2= Tuesday, and so on...that's their day to show up, help out and learn - a true civic and political economy education.

And that way, they don't have to miss out on their expensive school formalities - they can find a substitute very easily for important classes, tests...mtgs. And OWS builds its numbers and now will have a stream of participants going back to campuses to spread the word; on big event rally days, everyone can attend. This basic format is transferable to other settings besides schools, of course. It is a method to gain support by building a bridge to those who cannot give their total life to the growing cause, but a day a week...

When we start to demand the NATIONALIZATION of the big banks, let's see if those "false friends" will continue to "support" us.

Ahh, the ole genius Krugman, who can magically rehabilitate economies with alien invasions and smashed windows!
