Dear OWS,
It happens there are some facts you might like to know http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/45366471#45366471
All the best and good luck
Yea - again - one demand, one response - get money out of politics -
Please take this seriously OWS - the whole reason they are attacking you is because the lobbyists know their bread and butter is dependent on us allowing for the continuation of their insidious ways. Once you get money out of politics - then you can talk about what the 99% really want by the 99%.
Wall Street controls Congress. The one who controls Congress controls the country. There's no need to explain
Just vile! Mass protesting against lobbyists are in order. We need to get all corporate lobbyists banned from D.C, followed up by Campaign Finance reform laws set in place.
Like the reporter said at the end that this is just one letter intercepted--what of all the others who want to sink OWS? These slimy maggots's have sent out their "hit men". Now more than every OWS needs to remain vigilant and have a laser like focus on achieving their goals.
Remember, we out number them.
I wonder if it is possible that repelican party is actively seeking to extort money, using the firm of Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford from the American Bankers Association -
and can any specific politician - Boner himself or others - be directly tied to the money trail?
I'm sure none of us are surprised, but this needs to be on the front page. We need to be all aware of this, to watch what we say and do and live up to what the movement is supposed to be about.
Read this! Great. Thanks!
Excellent thanks for posting this, it is really important that we know our enemy. Here is the link to the document detailing their strategy. We must stay one step ahead of the lobbyists. http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/CLGF-msnbc.pdf
wow
i actually watched that early this morning. what stands out to me is the fact most news stories hit after an event. to what extent do you think this card has been played already.
Does it matter? The point is that it is now out in the open. It is valuable information to have, and serves as an alert both to the general public as well as to us.
More detail is desirable.
One important point we learned is that having a leaderless movement is what confuses them the most. One of their strategies is to identify the leaders of the movement and smear them. We know their weakness and we can continue to protect ourselves by not having one leader with one voice. but by including the voices of the 99% of Americans who have thousands of messages, we must continue to be open and listen to everyone who is actively participating whether or not we agree with the details everyone's voice is worth hearing in a true democracy. That is the strength of this movement. They are scared, and they wouldn't be scared if they didn't think that we were a real threat to reforming how they do business
I completely agree.
It can be a difficult principle to live up to - listening to others when we fundamentally disagree.
I do like the idea of smear simplified: terms like repelican, images of John Boner beside his own name misspelled - holding them up as objects of ridicule and disdain.
You don't need a sound bite if you have access to a television camera . . .
