The best sign which I saw was: Which one is Democracy? 99% (of people) or 1% (of them)?
The only thing more powerful than the banking lobby is the people, because the only thing more important than money to our politicians is being reelected. The message our politicians must hear is that if you vote with the people, you won't need the banker's money, and if you vote with the bankers, there's not enough money in the world to get you reelected.
The pressure must be placed on the members of the House of Representatives, because they must run for reelection every two years. The Founding Fathers designed it that way so that they would always be more responsive to the wants and needs of the people. The House is also where the power lies, only they can overturn a Presidential Veto.
Calling, writing and emailing your elected representative in the U.S. House of Representatives WORKS! Even 20, 30 or 50 emails on the same topic received by your representative makes an big impression. Why? Because people rarely ever do it. In fact, most people go through their entire life and NEVER do it. If 100 send an email on the same topic to the same congressional representative, things happen.
"America is rumbling...
The movement that began in New York, in the shadow of Wall Street, has begun to spread across the nation. Occupiers have taken to the streets in Boston, Washington, Portland, and beyond, expressing the same dissent and frustration of their founders in Liberty Plaza. Their individual irritations are varied, but their methods for direction and progress are clear, as expressed by a member of Occupy New Haven, Josh Smith: '[to open] avenues to everyone for democratic participation, with real, ancient Athens-style democracy.'
The movement does not intend to express a single purpose or goal, nor do they pretend to have all the answers to every problem facing the country, or even an answer to every problem they express. But they have gathered still, not necessarily to demand an immediate solution to a single error, but rather to deliberate what is possible for every error in the congressional and cooperative manner in which they believe the leaders of the United States have failed to do so.
A nation is rising, and it's voices will be heard..."

I think the OWS is great and I am glad people are finally waking up and doing something about what is going on. However, I believe that the movement needs a purpose as there is no published agenda or goal. The main goal that I think needs to happen is to get money out of politics. OWS needs to group with campaign fund restructuring groups. End the lobbying system. Second, join organizations together to end corporate personhood. Lastly, use democracy to fix this issue. Have Occupy members from every state select worthy people to run for politicians and flip congress in 2012. Get professors and scientists and smart moral people back in government. These Occupy people can clearly organize so why not have a handful of coordinated people organize hundreds in their state to support moral people for government who can make these changes.
We are the 99%
Wake up America!
99% are working 1% are eating
the 99% citizens of this country,workers&unemployed must unite with a massive STRIKE across the country. Shut down the business. Stop transportation. Shut the banks down by withdrawling and closing all your accounts. Close the public schools and teachers with students(16& up) march to the streets. union,nonunion and municiple employees close all business for a 3 day strike againt the federal goverment.It can be done! That is the ONLY way to get the attention of the GREEDY POLITICIANS on The Hill ,in your city,in your state. FORM A UNITED FRONT!
which one is the truth 99 or 1?
1% is eating 99%
Wall street = war street
Although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:
