If this movement is to succeed we need a National Leader. An organized march on Washington would surely help our cause.
That is what the news is stating today. Not that a leader is needed but at least a spokesperson. Some people aren't getting the main messages. Someone needs to explain what OWS is about to the public. They're saying this will fade away now. Maybe someone like Jeffrey Sachs? Anyone to speak to the media.

I like Sachs. We will not fade away I am sure but as you say SPOKESPERSON is needed.
I don't think a spokesperson is needed. They will just discredit that person or try to get rid of that person. The tea party always several people claiming to be "spokespeople". Perhaps a rotation of various individuals and not the same one can be implemented as well. But they know exactly what the OWS is about don't be fooled. I mean the number 99% and 1% says it all. In other words, something isn't right with this picture.
I agree that eloquent spokespeople may help our cause, but we need to be careful about who they are. They need to be amongst us. I can think of many well knowns including Jeffrey Sachs who have already spoken at Occupy movements: Marianne Williamson, Willie Nelson and Danny Glover to name a few. We need many leaders. I strongly agree that it is time to converge in D.C. We need to start migration from all over the country, by car, by train, by foot, by bike.... and Occupy all along the way. We need to be there before Congress breaks for Summer recess.

NO... you are wrong...please dont kid yourself...other movements have harnessed more people and got ZERO action from their government.
Charasmatic representation is the only shot at bringing in the support of the masses, someone or a good number of someones to relate to the people of the world or country
