You guys need to start focusing your energies. It's going to be a cold winter and they will not allow you to stay there if they can justify making you leave on the grounds of safety.
It's time to start thinking about Plan B. Only one initiative can hope to arise from such a young movement. So, you need to think about what's top on your list.
Here's a hint.....Get money out of politics. Solve that one and you've solved about two thirds of the others.
Coalesce behind Dylan Ratigan's petition for a Constitutional Amendment limiting corporate and personal giving. Read about it here:
You want the occupy phase of this movement to end with momentum, not with a very cold whimper. So, find ways of supporting Ratigan's initiative and end the occupations on your own terms. You have the nation's attention, so use it now.
No, I am not Dylan Ratigan. And I do not believe that switching to a more conventional form of protest is "giving up." I just think that those who ignore reality do so at their own....and our....peril.
The one thing Ratigan leaves out is the entire area of lobbying. Those guys will find a way around anything if their contact with lawmakers is not required to be entirely public information.
If only you had listened.
