OWS should have marched on Washington D.C. they are the culprits! Wall St. will always be Wall St. It was Pres. Obama that took OUR money and bailed them out, and it is Washington D.C. that is STILL taking our money and giving it to the 1%!
People need to wake up! Money follows power! It doesn't matter who is in the White House, Senate, House of Reps, Wall St. and all the other moneyed interests have bought out OUR government and until we take it back to reflect the interest of the people protesting against anything otherwise is pointless!
Our message needs to centered around getting the special interest out of Washington! This can unite republicans and democrats alike in the public. As long as the views of this movement are associated with leftist views, the media, politicians, and public will be able to play the old partisan game that has divided us as a nation for too long! People are fed up with the bail outs and socialism for the rich.
Wall St. and the special interest didnt get to where they were by protesting in the streets. They went to Washington because they know where the real source of power is. WE MUST HAVE GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE!!!!
IN SOLIDARITY
It has been marching on Washington.
I would like to see it focus on the real power, Congress.
Obama is powerless. A figurehead.
Congress holds the power.
Congress is the most corrupt.
Laws made by the Congress empowered the financial collapse SEE: The Congress that Crashed America http://home.ptd.net/~aahpat/aandc/congcrash.html
Who benefits more from Wall Street? Democrats or Republicans?

The corruption is truly BI-PARTISAN.
Abandon the two party corruption.
Register and vote Independent.
Write-In your own choice of candidates and by-pass the corrupt two party ballot denial of access rules in the states.
Write-In does not require the millions of dollars that the two parties get from Wall Street.
Write-In is free ballot access.
Im glad this is starting to dawn upon people. "Any lasting and workable solution must reach beyond mere politics, that political issues do not matter at a time when our collective voice has been nearly silenced. We find that our individual opinions mean little when we are no longer being properly represented.
While we who have named ourselves the “99%” may each have our own individual personal concerns and grievances, we know that we must set them aside at this time due to a more pressing need to demand the return of the Representation that has been taken from us. Until such time, we contend that nothing can be accomplished in a spirit of true discourse."
This has been an excerpt from the revolutionary document named "The New Common Sense", a document that goes beyond politics and attacks the root cause of the problems in which we collectively face.
Read it, share it, give it thought:

In Solidarity!
Occupy Barney Frank's front lawn!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, go to Washington. Go anywhere. Your parents just got done cleaning out the basement and getting the smell of pot out of the house. Have a little compassion and leave them in peace for a little while longer.
Yes, that is exactly where you should go. And yes, it was Obama who bailed out the banks!
Disinformation!!!!!!!
Obama simply carried on the bailouts that Bush and the GOP were forced to enact because of their failed and corrupt anti regulation policies.
While Obama should not have carried on Bush's policies Bush should not have raped America in the first place.
