.. but not violently, that only gives our opponents the opening they want: to arrest. However if the convention isn't protested, the GOP will probably run and possibly elect another Cheney-type president-- such an outcome is to be avoided like the plague.

Mo, at least Democrats don't worship capitalism as a religion. The GOP does.

The Democratic convention will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina the week of September 3, 2012. Isn't that the banking capital of the country? I know that Bank of America headquarters is there.

"i thought this was supposed to be a non-partisan movement."

YOU can be non-partisan.

there is no such thing as non-partisan. Obama has to do what he does, otherwise they'd send him back to Chicago for sure.

This person AlanBrooks, has lost his fucking mind. Obama is a war criminal, same as Bush. He is also a pathological liar who is financed by Wall Street. How can this clown deny these facts? Obama = Bush, you fucking space cadet. Keep this shit off of these forums. If you haven't woken up to who Barack Obama truly is, there is nothing that the rest of us can do for you. You know, Gitmo is still open, our troops aren't home, he re-signed the Patriot Act and the economy is fucked.

Well. The GOP is fundamentally more of a problem than the dems. The liberals have historically been for human rights.

The Occupation is made up of the 99%. That includes republicans, as well as democrats, independents, and people who have never voted.

nope, thats what i was told. if this is a partisan leftist movement that exists just to further polarize the country, it loses all credibility.

What I have been told by other activists, is that the only agreed upon tenet of the movement is corporate accountability. Within the movement there are a number of different political beliefs.

That is just what I have been told by other members of this forum who speak as members of the movement. IF it is a partisan movement, then they would be total hypocrites for supporting the Democrats who receive as much Wall Street funding as the Republicans.

They divide us and conquer us. We need to be uniting against these injustices. wake up.

furthermore, if you do not include Republicans in the movement, then it is no where near the 99%
