obama is an oligarch. obama is 50 new nuclear plants. obama is a health care law built for the corporations and against the people. obama is denial of kyoto protocol. obama is two new wars. obama is Bush continuation. obama is corrupt. obama is ignorant. obama is the enemy of the people.

It don't matter if you don't go protest and be part of a working group. Be an actual participant if you want to have a say. Otherwise you are just a bystander

Your desire is to affect my life, I will not let that happen without a say, so take your snarky attitude and shove it up your ass.

It sure can be embezzled.

Is every protesters name on the account with authority to withdraw funds and write checks? Of course not.

OWS is not a legitimate, legal organization, so here are the facts regarding the OWS bank account...

  1. Without being a legitimate and legal entity (some type of corporate entity), the bank account had to have been opened in an individual persons name, or multiple individuals as in a joint account.

  2. The money is being held in an account opened by another legitimate legal organization.

It all can be taken very easily because OWS is not a legal entity.

Exactly, you conveyed the message better than I did.
