Forum Post: OWS PIGGY BANK - To share, or not to share?

I read an article in the Metro today about other US Occupy movements being interested in receiving financial support from Occupy Wall Street, which has been very successful in raising funds. The paper quoted $480, 000. I don't know if that number is accurate, but at the GA I attended this weekend we were told there was over $300, 000 in the bank for OWS. By comparison, Occupy Philly has only raised $10, 000

Once again, I don't know if OWS has actually received formal pleas for funds or not. But I do believe that they should be answered.

The entire culture of the movement is about supporting each other and ending the culture of Every-man-for-himself that has fostered greedm selfishness, and poor policy making in this country. Should anyone get whatever they ask for? No. But perhaps the people at Occupy Wall Street could come up with a formula for aiding the rest of the movement as it grows across the country. If a movement has raised less that $X in total, or $X per person who is occupying full time, over Y time frame, they should receive aid.

After all, these are really the children of the original occupation, and need to be fostered in order to grow the movement as a whole.

“TOCSFAE” IS TOXIC TO THE BANKERS

From the beginning when our country was formed we face many challenges and many opposing views

Just like today however, the peoples voices have been silence by special interest groups as well as the over whelming power grab by the bankers. Your demands/petitions will never be heard or taken seriously unless lobbyist/corporate have bless it for greedy reasons or Co-Opt it.

It is time for a fair hearing!

Wouldn’t it be great if you can be heard, fairly and equally? Wouldn’t it be worth your time to know there is a petition list, worth signing rather then getting involved in so many other worthy causes? Can be a drain, especially knowing many of lists of issues will mostly not be look at or simply be voted downed.

It can also be time consuming.

This is were the 7’step plan an ever growing list known as the “TOCS FAE” doctrine helps just about every cause, the cause that helps almost all other causes should be supported. These step plans, solves many of the roots of all our problems we face.Whether you have protested at the gas pump or you are an Occupier and Tea Partier, for that matter any protest mover, make your protest have meaning, give it the teeth it needs beyond the gas pump and over the protest lines.

This petition will be a notification to congress of things yet to come and to properly prepare.

As of January 2012 we the people

We will not take the abuse anymore and neither should they walk around with there heads in the sand.

We will begin the process of phase one

Your petition will go to congress, informing them you support The “TOCS FAE” Doctrine and so should they, by making preparations for receiving and forwarding income Tax mail. Your petition will also go to the top corporations letting them know of our intentions and they too should support and act by sending their taxes directly to congress. They should also be informed if our demands are not met protests will be under way the likes they have never seen.

After this is achieved and we have broken the back of a few select Corporations we will move on to Step1 Taxes which may take months or up to a year

Step1) Send your TAXES to a trusted congressman or congresswoman which maybe hard to find in your state. Make a Petition with your neighbors. Phone, email, fax your congress your list and intentions. Prepare your taxes, made out to the I.R.S check and envelope, and a stamp. Fit it in inside of a bigger envelope, onto which you should write congress address, preferably your state congress.

Example

Washington, DC 203 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone Number: (202) 225-2831 Have congress unwrap the envelopes, state you want your taxes to be mailed to the I.R.S

If you are asking yourself, what will this achieve first it can be used as a bargain chip however, congress cannot spend it or over take the fed reserve and banks system over night, nonetheless this will indeed give teeth/meat, back to congress. You should include a sign return receipt so as to show proof you paid your taxes.

If you are interested in expressing this message to Occupy General Assembly you should present the "TOCFAE" Doctrine in David Ferola's name, and claim you are him, for solidarity purpose.

That includes woman and children

A few people control all the money and are not sharing the way you want them to. That sounds familiar...
