I know there are so many pundits giving advice that OWS needs to form into a more traditional structure like the Tea Party or a lobby group like AARP but I think that would be a mistake. If individuals who participate and show solidarity with OWS want to be part of political activity like campaigning for specific candidates that's their right but in order for real change to take place OWS has to remain in my opinion a movement of social conscious creating the environment for us to discuss and work on the issues of wealth inequality and corrupt influence of money in politics.
I agree. Remain independent of the establishment, since, the established power has gotten us into our current state. Continue putting pressure on politicians to reform and enforce anti-fraud laws, taxes and policies promoting income (real spending power) inequality. And avoid at all costs association with movements promoting the UN as a vehicle for reform-- "OWS supporters in the United States should not be calling for “global democracy” – in other words, surrendering national sovereignty for globalist micromanaged mob rule – but should be calling instead for the end of the Federal Reserve, a return to honest money not controlled by the global elite and the international bankers, and the reinstitution of a constitutionally limited republic as originally envisioned by the founders. If the larger OWS accepts “global federalism” it will be accepting the agenda outlined by the very global elite responsible for the Federal Reserve, the IMF, the WTO, global markets, multinational banks, the G8/G20, the European Central Bank and the UN security council criticized in the manifesto published in the establishment newspaper, The Guardian . The OWS represents both a threat and opportunity for the globalists. It is imperative that they compromise the movement and sell it on a bait-and-switch version of global totalitarianism masquerading as change – the same brand offered by the Goldman Sachs crony Obama – under the guise of “democracy.”
Well, one thing OWS might consider doing is publishing authorized books that might persuade the 99% of the people to vote and to vote to further OWS aims.
