Can anyone explain to me why OWS is not putting any positive actions forward? I understand that we don't want to get into making demands, but we all seem to be agreed that Corporate America, and the banks in particular, are bleeding America dry. So why isn't OWS putting its considerable weight behind a recommendation for people to start moving their spending and savings to their community businesses, especially credit unions and local banks? Just complaining about the banks, without putting an alternative forward, is not going to get us anywhere in the long term.
DC Occupiers are begging people to head there to affect change. You don't need to Occupy DC for sixteen weeks -- just get together a 5 million man march and strategize while there to meet w/your congressfolks. Keep shaking the tree but shake the tree that is bearing fruit.
I agree. If it is policy change that people want, where else to ask for it if not in DC?
OWS is a deliberately “leaderless” movement as cited on their Home Page. Consequently, the Board of OWS, with members mostly unknown, is waiting for us, the 99%, to get behind various proposals by joining their related group web sites, so perhaps you would consider our group's proposal of an alternative online direct democracy of government and business at http://getsatisfaction.com/americanselect/topics/on_strategically_weighted_policies_organizational_operating_structures_tactical_investment_procedures-448eo and then join our group's 20 members committed to that plan at http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/
Corruption of government by the corporations, Wall Street is a big part of this, is the problem.
1% buys their representation, 99% are left with the scraps. Crashing the banks hurts us all. Ending government corruptions helps us all.

November 5th movement... take your $ out of banks, put into credit unions.
You hit it on the head and we need to work as a group to get money out of our political system. Article V of the US constitution allows the people to take action. I am working with some people who have that ground game in place. Article V allows us as private citizens to have our share of constitutional control, but the top people in the NWO want you not to know that. We are using web conferencing and Skype to build this movement towards this course of action. I would advise that you get a Skype account. Private message it to me and I can add you to our meeting group so we can work from the ground up using the states' rights to call for an Article V constitutional convention. It takes 34 states to approve convening to amend the constitution. We are going to run web conferences on this issue and the big money interests will try to block it and fail. http://www.articlevmeeting.info Fill out the form on the page and confirm that you want to receive invites so we are compliant with emailing laws and we will invite you to our Skype group and our web conferences.

that is exactly right - without a goal, without a plan, how can you get anywhere?
Lynxoid, thank you. But it is more than just a goal - it is a POSITIVE message. How can anyone, left or right, say that supporting your local businesses is not a good thing?
Walmart would disagree with you Krankie
Mark11. Yes, I expect they would. :-)
