It takes two to screw the middle class! Politicians to hold us down, so then the Corporations can do the screwing!!! Politicians need better rules to follow to prevent lobbying! We tax payers should fund important elections, so the best person wins and not the one with the most money!!! The movement needs a leader with at least these demands!!!!!!!!!!! Pass The Word!!! Lets Get It Together and Find a Leader!!!!

Ok then a large commitee needs to collect all you leaders ideas together and prioritize them and take the top 2 or 3 and use them as a platform. United we stand!!! Divided we fall!!

We do not need leaders. You have a voice. Speak for yourself.

In the movie, Viva Zapata, he said, "A weak people need a strong leader. A strong people don't need a leader." Occasionally Hollywood captures a good idea. This time they did. Right now our job is to play the part of a strong people.

A leader will come out of the 99% when he/she is really needed. I hear the have good ones there.

O I get it! I don't think this will work to bring change! We need to be more specific in demands to bring change! They will play dumb and unless we show we all are behind a common objective they wont care. They see numbers..aka..the votes! A couple people they fear not, but when they turn to thousands then to 10's of thousands to maybe millions thats when they fear us and change will happen!

You don't get it. We're all leaders here.
The moment we identify one spokesperson, it will disenfranchise others... and we need every person we can if we want to push thru change.

RIght now, we're growing and forming communication networks. Give it time and some people will be embraced for specific messages, i.e. a leader with 5 minutes of fame.
