Forum Post: The Occupy Movement Needs a Platform & Peer Assemblies Across the Nation

The most important need of the Occupy movement is to formalize a platform to change the system. Mankind has always spawned a generous segment of criminals. Wall Street and corporate criminals are no less shady than their bretheren; however, their shady activities involve finding loopholes and buying policy makers to get more favorable laws and regulations.

Whether on a 15 person island or a country of 330 million, we select an administrator or an entire govenment to handle common community functions and we agree to rules to do so. That is where change must take place. We can't go back to an era (if one ever existed) when everyone just wanted to be nice. We need to insure there are rules to check the shady set.

Serious platforms for change must emerge from Occupy movements across the nation. Then CNN won't report that "the movement has extended to over 12 cities, but many feel it is misdirected" as it did four minutes ago.

This movement has moved to nearly 100 cities and it has serious ideas to corrent the system. Those ideas need to be formalized so wary watchers in the silent majority can decide whether the movement represents their interest or not.
