People have been joking about how Occupy Wall Street has no clearly defined agenda. I propose we take a suggestion from Noam Chomsky. The first step to cleaning up the corruption on Wall Street and their paid employees in Washington is to remove incorporated entities from those protected as individuals under The Bill of Rights. Without this corrective measure any and all other measures are simply "pissing in the wind". We need to actually ask for something people. Let's ask for the right thing. All our posturing is meaningless until we know what we want...AND..how to get it. This could be it. I welcome any comments about this from those who probably know a great deal more about it than I.

YES PLEASE LISTEN

The government answers to corporations, interest groups backed by the 1%. That's who they make policy for.

Everything we've done so far to make the democratic process accessible over the course of our country's history has been undermined.

We can't address the wealth disparity with a government that facilitated it because 99% of Americans have no say in government policy.

Banking reform, tax reform, healthcare reform.. are UNATTAINABLE because every line of every bill passed has been AUCTIONED OFF!

Corporate person hood is the one and only obstacle to getting things done. Getting rid of it will be the window to changing America.

Why don't representatives vote for things a majority of the constituents want? Joke is on us because we're not the real constituents.

We (the people) alone should fund candidates so they answer to us!

OF the people. BY the people. FOR the people. Corporations are NOT people.

Dismantle of political party system. Abandonment of Lobbyist. End Privatization of the Federal Reserve. Enforced regulation of Wall Street. Health Care & Universities available to ALL Americans . Close all foreign stationed Military Bases. Tax breaks to small business to be able to compete price wise with larger chain stores. Higher taxes on imports and tax breaks for companies that stays U.S. Based. Build American Farming infrastructure again. Reduce Military Budget. Out of All Wars. No Drones in countries we are not in war with. Transparent Govt. For the people by the people. Over hall of the Food and Educational System.

These are all good ideas. Non will happen as long as there are non elected individuals dictating policy to Washington elected officials. We have to open up the closed board rooms to public scrutiny and regulators.

Exactly, many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

Join

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.

Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link above, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.

Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet; it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. Sequence is key.

Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.

The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.

Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.

So please JOIN the 2nd link, so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for by e-mail from the group in the 2nd link, and then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the strategy of the 1st link as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your Occupation & Generation.
