Mr. President, We are facing a period of great unrest and dissatisfaction. Dissatisfaction with American Business Practices, American Banking, Wallstreet, Big Oil, Pharma, Insurance, Education, etc. Most strongly we THE PEOPLE are sick of the inactivity of government. The games being played in support of the institutions that are ruining our country. If you truly want reelection and truly want to make progress in healing this country. You may want to show some support for the PEOPLES MOVEMENT: Occupy WallStreet, Occupy Oakland, Occupy USA, the 99% movements. You may want to encourage all of these movements to band together in positive actions to retake the government and put it back on course. The course of working FOR THE PEOPLE. But don't stop at giving a pep talk. Provide instruction on how each individual can make themselves heard today. Provide us with direct links to all that need to be called to order.
Thank You.
Haven't you all figured out yet that Barak Obama is not only part of the 1% but was funded by Wall Street? Don't expect any help from that quarter.
I would think we were doing something wrong if Obama supported us.
Wrong perspective? If he started to support us, it would be a sign that we are being heard. If he then started trying to act on our issues/proposals it would show that we were making progress. What would then happen is that those in government who are opposed to change/reform would be standing-up more clearly to stall/stop the reform. Telling us exactly who to recall/replace. Currently most of the republicans in office are telling us all that they are against us.
OWS does not need the president! Obama is a tool of the capatilists.
It's useless to send a letter to Obama
here's why Zionists own and control Obama via Wall Street’s Federal Reserve, which is owned and controlled by the Zionist Rothchild family Example
On September 21 2008, Obama said “No Blank Check For Wall Street, taxpayers shouldn’t be spending a dime to reward CEOs on Wall Street while they’re going out the door.”
Yet, on October 1 2008, when the Senate voted for the bailout, Obama cast a “yes” vote & attached these remarks: “We are all going to need to sacrifice. We all need to pull our weight, because now more than ever we are all in this together.” WE meaning us and the obscenely greedy Rothchild banksters

Protests & Demonstrations are only one form of contact. Direct contact can only help speed the messages we are trying to get across.
Spread the word. Six degrees of separation, Protests, and Demonstrations combined with direct contact could be very powerful. Synergy!!!

Politicians lie???
In other news, water is wet.
Why are you helping a system want to collapse?
It does not need to be collapsed. It just needs to be brought back under control by us " The People"

and mr president.....how about you protect civil liberties for a change? THEN you can worry about the money problem. I rather be broke and free then have lots of money and not.
P.S. Give back all the campaign donations that you accepted in return for favors to corporations. Stop spending all the money to make us more poor. Quit giving bailouts unless the bailouts are directly to the people. (trillions in bailout money given back to the people instead of to businesses that intended to fail, and our economy would be flourishing right now.) But you knew this and sold us out anyway.
yep return the money and accept no more.
I'm a lifetime Democrat, but have recently become extremely interested in the moderate progressive Presidential candidate, Governor Buddy Roemer, and his populist message. A self-described “Teddy-Roosevelt-Abraham-Lincoln-Republican,” he is the only Presidential candidate taking a stand on campaign finance reform. He speaks openly against unfair trade, and the need for sweeping bank reform and tax reform. He also openly supports Occupy Wall Street. He takes no PAC money, and is relying on individual contributions of $100. So why aren't progressives rallying around him?
Jim Hightower recently did a piece on him entitled, “A Buddy For the People” http://www.jimhightower.com/node/7569

He has been systematically shut out of the GOP debates, even when he polls above the required 1%. Seems to me that his fellow candidates, as well as other people at the top – Democrat and Republican – have a lot to lose if his message gets out.
I think he deserves a look.
Very good. This is a start to getting him in the public eye. Now continue (if you haven't already) by using the six degrees of separation concept and contacting everyone you know and have them do the same. Believe me when I say that I will check this guy out and publicize him myself as well as I can If I also see his merit.
Perhaps this website could post a form where everyone could place they're insights/issues in a format that could collect the numbers of those responding and the number of issues and how many have the same issues. These could then be compiled after a given length of time and formatted into a list of demands/issues to be addressed and these could be presented at Protests/Demonstrations and by direct contact.
Perhaps this website could also post a form where everyone could contribute likely future candidates.
I could really use help with this.
Need help making a t-shirt. We need to draw a picture of Zooccotti Park with a cage around it. Here are some ideas: Draw a hippie climbing the cage like a monkey and throwing shit.
Draw a hippie rolling in mud and shit like a pig.
Draw a hippies fucking like dogs.
Draw a picture of a hippie eating peanuts like a big fucking elephant. Draw a hippie as a lazy fucking Ape doing nothing.
All your missing is a picture of yourself whaking-off, forget the rest, put the bars around you.
Would you buy a picture of that? Sick fuck!
Can you be serious about the t-shirt? To what good? To be sold to who?
They are being sold to the 98.9% of the 99%. life is good, thanks!
Next shirt will have hippies peddling bikes for energy and a rape victim running out of a tent with torn clothes.
R U another 1%'er wanabe?
Are you good at being poor?
As someone else commented to you. You lack subtlety. You obviously have some little intelligence it's just a shame that you should use it as a lackey for the endangered 1%'er's. But please feel free to continue chasing your tail, here and elsewhere. If anyone still needs a reason to act for change in this country, you will at least provide motivation to protest against the status-quo.
So you are a happy poor slob fool. Pitty.
As I said please continue chasing your tail. It's about as productive an activity as your kind are likely to have.
i think this is a fascinating reality test, i don't expect obama to do much but at least we can say we tried. Who knows, maybe he will surprise us.?
I think perhaps we could write a more detailed description of what we see as being the place the white house could take in this.
Thanks for the interest. Your reply makes a very good point for us all to make direct contact. The more of us who write and detail our views and request response/action. Then the larger and more detailed the picture will become. It will be very apparent that manipulation and corruption is not going to be permitted any-longer. Each individual among us has our own strengths. If we can pool our strengths then good. If we can't coherently do it together, we should still do what we can individually, while working towards ( searching for ) a unified approach.
Are you kidding? Why ask a sell-out president for help? Obama has been in the tank for Wall Street from Day One. It would be surprising if that were not the case since he received more money from Wall Street than any president in U.S. history. You can't trust anything he says. The rest of the politicians are no better. You might as well ask Goldman or JP Morgan to support #OWS. There are too many suckers out there who fell under Obama's spell and they are now pissed off, big time. Don't ask him to swing the watch in front of your face. Don't ask him anything. He will always come down on the side of special interests, especially the big banks. Show up on the White House front lawn to show Obama what happens to bullshit presidents when they sell out Main Street Americans. Wise up.
All of our politicians are in bed with Wall Street $.
OK. I can very well see your point. The thing is, if we can't get those in office right now to pay attention and begin to address our concerns. What chance do we have with future representatives?
If we do not begin communicating now. How can we show our future elected officials that to ignore us is to commit political suicide?
Exactly what are the concerns of #OWS that you are referring to? No formal #OWS demands have been published yet. And what's make you or anyone else think a politician, who is in Wall Street's hip pocket, gives a shit? Money talks, bullshit walks as far as they are concerned. That sentiment particularly applies to the current self-absorbed president who lives inside his own echo chamber. If and when #OWS issues a specific platform of demands, then those demands should be taken to the seat of power, Washington DC, in a massive #OWS march. The sellout elected officials, from the president on down, will then get the message loud and clear.
The point to get across is the fact that WallStreet and Corporations can throw all the money they want into all of the campaigns that they want. But they can not win at the polls if we don't let them.
Why direct contact to those who are in office now?
We (as individuals ) need to make demands that go to the heart of the matter. Of what each of us perceive as wrong with the current set-up.
Because if this site/movement can not provide a unified declaration, we ( the individuals ) who are taking part in this movement ( a call for change/reform ) need to let them know why the ax will fall on election day. Millions of e-mails flooding the capitol should make them very well aware that we are not going to accept lip service from our elected officials any-longer.
If this movement remains without appointed leaders or a mandated statement. Then we who are concerned individuals need to act in our country's best interest to show that organized or individually we are most certainly acting.
Asking a president, who has sold us out, what we should do, does not send the message that the ax will fall on election day.
I think your missing the point. The idea is to stress the point that it is time to put-up or shut-up.
I think you are missing the reality of what kind of man Obama is. You are still holding out some hope that he will miraculously change and asking him for instruction. It is well past time for him to take action on behalf of the American people. He has had three years and he has even failed to keep promises that are within his complete control.

Again you should look at the republican stonewalling.
The Dems had the presidency, the house, and the senate for two years. How can you blame the Republicans?
How can you blame the Republicans for Obama's actions, (or lack thereof) for policies which could be changed by executive order?
How can you blame the Republicans for Obama cutting a back room deal with the insurance industry to undercut single payer health care?
How can you blame the Republicans for Obama military attacks without congressional authorization?
BTW, I am a registered Democrat and I am angry at the abdication of every principle that party used to stand for.
Perhaps these are things you should discuss with Him? Like currently He has started signing off on parts of the jobs bill because He can't get congress moving on it. Three years has been spent wrestling with a congress that is unwilling to act because it goes against their special interests. So now ( yes late in the game ) He has started action. These actions may not necessarily be ones that we would want taken or perhaps not how we want them addressed. But if we don't communicate our thoughts, who then is to blame?
Time to let The White House know we are here! Soon, knocking on your door!
thanks for keeping this part alive, which gets to the heart of the matter: send it to the Boss. Now it's time to write The White House!

great post!
Thanks I just hope I can get more people to look at it.
Barry Soetoro needs independent/moderate votes to get re-elected. He will continue to hemorrhage those indy votes if he shows the kind of support you are asking because of the direction the Occupy(Insert Location Here) factions of the overall movement are going. Take Oakland, for example... throwing a shout out to them is very bad PR for him and gives his opponents cannon fodder to launch during the election cycle.
Just be content in knowing that he rests his head on his pillow at night dreaming about how much he loves each and every one of the OWS marchers even if he doesn't overtly express support. He's an idiot about most things, but campaigning ain't one of them.
He could very well use Oakland to his favor in showing support. He just needs to denounce the vandals while supporting the motive and intent of the movement (s).
Great letter! You are the best! I also just twiited this:
I'm being followed by Occupy USA, and The OWS. http://twitter.com/#!/howtodoit1
The OWS and Public Citizen http://www.citizen.org/Page.aspx?pid=183 should Unite for The WDC March to Bring Back G-S Act on 6/16/12. http://occupywallst.org/forum/its-time-for-a-million-people-march-to-capitol-hil/
That will really get it done right!
Very nice Howtodoit. You are making very good use of available links. Lets keep up the good work. We need to get past the unfortunate vandalism incident in Oakland.
Oakland please stick with it. Don't let vandals shut you down.
right back at you! Oakland is a mess that will be fixed soon. March on OWS troops!
I should have added inside and outside of government to my request:
"Provide instruction on how each individual can make themselves heard today. Provide us with direct links to all that need to be called to order."
Perhaps someone else in this movement could correct my failure by sending their own request?

So you would become Obama's Hitler Youth? Sad.
Perspective, your perspective is very suspect.
I'd sooner kick-out Corporatist Obama and replace him with Ron P aul (who only takes donations from voters, not GE or NBC or Nationwide or Merck). He's already produced a budget that would cut military spending by 2/3rd and overall spending back to 2006 levels, while pledging to keep Medicare and SSI fully funded ("we must honor our promises").
Plus he vowed to kill the banking monopoly called the Fed. He's like a modern day Andrew Jackson whose final words were, "I killed the bank."
Forget Obama and his $35,000 a plate corporatist dinners. Let's support Paul and help him kill the bank, end the wars, and restore a balanced budget.
IMHO.
OK. I can very well see your point. The thing is, if we can't get those in office right now to pay attention and begin to address our concerns. What chance do we have with future representatives?
If we do not begin communicating now. How can we show our future elected officials that to ignore us is to commit political suicide?
Interesting. If you type Ron P aul the programmer of this system changes it to "Ron Lawl". Deceptive! AWhy program this website to change Ron P aul to some other word??? Why the underhanded practice? :-|
What if I type Barack Obama or Herman Cain or Mitt Romney. Are they changed? Nope. Why the anti-Ronn Paul editing into Ron Lawl?
Hmmm.
Haha, crazy. Wouldnt it be cool if when you typed Barack Obama it changed it to "worthless sellout" and Mitt Romney could be changed to "Same shit, different package". Or Herman Cain was "I didnt do it"
Ron Lawl
Interesting. If you type Ron P aul the programmer of this system changes it to "Ron Lawl". Deceptive! And I hestitate to use the C-word but that's basically what it is. Why program this website to change Ron P aul to some other word??? Why the underhanded practice? :-|
