No focus = no real impact = no staying power = USA footnote. Focus = impact = momentum = O Washington in summer '12 = USA chapter. Focus on Exxon Mobil as poster child of oil industry. ExMob = most profitable US company last 8 years + spends millions to buy Wash politicians 2 get $4B annual subsidies for oil industry. OWS should tell USA to not buy gas from ExMob. If enough of us do this, ExMob's sales drop and Wash politics stop the subsidies. Score huge win for OWS. Then on to the summer of '12.

of course... last time I checked ExMob also sponsors masterpiece theater on PBS along with $237M of other donations, so I'm guessing you are against the arts as well.
