We need to follow Egypt. We need get the entirety of congress to resign. We can no longer wait for the elections. Their recent actions have proved that they are failures and are not working for us.
The Revolution has a theme song!

The Revolution starts here! No one can silence the Revolution!
Get real. no hope they'll resign. Campaign Finance Reform is key to everything OWS is about. If we have a Congress sold out to the 1%, how can the 99% ever get represented?
But there's a catch. A classic Catch 22. We the 99% can't get anywhere without campaign reform. But any campaign reform bill has to be passed by members of congress, and members can't get elected unless they take corporate money (93% of elections are won by the candidate who spends the most).
There's only one way to break out of this dilemma, and you can read about it at: www.breakcorporatepower.org
Check it out and see for yourselves!
Public sentiment, growth of the movement, and number of protesters are at an all time high. The movement is ripe for the demand and call to action phase especially after the UC Davis incident. I suggest this......Its time for the Occupy Wall Street Bill to go before Congress for a vote.
A. Define the Issues for the bill. Use language from failed bills that support the views of the 99 percent.
B. Outline the components of the Bill to the American People (the 99%)
C. Find A Congressman/ Congresswoman to sponsor the Bill to put before Congress for a vote.
Take this action and you will be able to show the country is behind you. Have people give their name, email address, highest education level, whether they are currently employed, and their profession/trade.
Wow, this place is worse than a certain imageboard when it comes to spam. Get it together OWS.
This was not spam, just trying to get my point across or in the right forum. I am very serious about my suggestion.

Too bad the main problem with this country is that congress cannot pass a single bill or agree on ANYTHING. Didn't you just witness the biggest failure of our time that was the super committee?
You are missing the point. Proposed legislation, submitted by the movement, along with a petition with mass support from the majority, does several things.....Provides a clearly defined and focus agenda of the movement. Secondly, Congress has easily dismissed gallop polls and polls on what most Americans want because of the huge gains in Republican seats during the past election. Third, the movement gives a great emotional argument, but fails to present a desired tangible relief. The movement has aired its grievances now its time to request its relief. Congress may not pass the bill, but they will not be able to deny the public desires and what may await them at reelection time.
I am serious. Toshiba is a nasty group. Not is bad as the military in Egypt, but that's only due to lack of ability! Feel free to join the KTC!

Be suspicious of the image painted by the US MSM. They are the primary tool of terror.
Ok. Hey, if you have time, come here.

You realize the OWS movement doesn't have that kind of sway or attention right? the "99%" wouldn't even say they align with you. Saying you represent 99% is quite a bold an outlandish claim.
Focus on something real instead of such a ridiculous goal.
Egypt did it. Why can't we do it?
and now they are getting mowed down like dogs in the street... did them a whole lot of good.
Didn't the civil government just announce that they are resigning? At least they got something done other than beating on drums all day.
LIke I said the support just isn't there.
What do you propose to get this kind of support then?
I believe that point has passed actually, you can't expect to get anywhere with such a melting pot of goals, ideals, and opinions. The movement from the outside is seen as quite disorganized, and that really is the truth. And I don't think there is anyway to break that reputation. Also claiming to represent the 99%, before truly representing the 99%, made it an unattractive idea from the get go.
So I believe, at least for the time being, that support is well out of reach.
True, I came here thinking that this movement had some sort of organization and better goals than just screaming and hoping that things will magically change themselves. Maybe a new and better movement will rise from this circlejerk.
Yeah, and after that we have to make these guys go away!

Cool spam, bro. But you should really make an actual comment in the thread if you want to be taken seriously.
Oppose all Chinese slave made imports
American hypocrites disregard the terrible lives more than 100,000,000 slaves who work every day with no time off, and only a life of misery to supply Americans with cheaper supplies than they would be if American factories were rebuilt and all those products were made by Americans who earned a lower middle class salary and decent benefits.
If people elected me to represent them in congress I would cause a daily commotion until America followed the constitution that abolished slavery in 1865. Our constitution didn't say to move the slaves to China so American hypocrites couldn't see the slaves but bought the crap at a slightly lower price. That goes double for all Christians who don't follow the teaching of the messiah. No legitimate Christian would take advantage of people forced into slavery and then have the nerve to claim that their lives were better.
Instead American Christians are sucking the blood of the Chinese slaves to get a slightly lower price. That doesn't mean to charge a tariff on those imports. Our constitution forbids importing that stuff, it doesn't allow charging tariffs on it.
That would force the multinationals to spend their $2 trillion cash on financing new factories here or they will have no market because they will have no supplies to sell.
My goal? Be True.
Wow. That is the most vague goal I've ever heard. How will we make all of Congress, the Senate, and Wall Street "Be True"?
It is not my goal for them. It is my goal for me. Be True!
That's really nice and everything but I wasn't really asking for your goals.
