Suggestion for an umbrella message - "End corruption, restore democracy".
Here's why. Corruption is the big clog in the pipe, it blocks all progress from flowing. Wall Street is headquarters for this corruption.
Also, a large majority already agrees on getting rid of Wall Street corruption, however much they may differ on other issues. Getting rid of that corruption will enable realistic discussions of other issues, and more consensus on those. Getting rid of the corruption will entail several steps, including reform legislation and legal actions against bankers.

Remember, the 99% is a big tent, full of diverse opinions. But we have many common goals & concerns that we can work together on.
Good idea.
