Many people have asked, who is behind this declaration and plan of action? We are a group of college students and pro bono lawyers who met when the students got arrested in NYC. Since then, we have been working on a proposal to elect an Executive Committee for the purpose of organizing an election of a National General Assembly to vote on a formal petition of grievances. This is only a proposal and sample list of just demands on the government. Only a duly elected body can legitimize a list of demands from the People.
The Constitution provides for a petition of a list of grievances to present to the government. It is our opinion that such a petition needs to be presented well BEFORE the 2012 election. That is why we call for a National General Assembly attended by 870 delegates in Philadelphia on July 4, 2012.
In short, we believe that the time has come to harness the momentum of this movement and direct it at constructive goals to make change; the foremost of which is getting money out of federal politics once and for all. All politicians in this country should immediately take a pledge to refuse all sources of private campaign contributions which we view as legalized bribery.
It is clear that Congress and the President cannot regulate themselves so WE THE PEOPLE must demand that they stop taking money in exchange for votes and influence.

Cheers!
We are in a bit of a holding pattern with the threat of police violence and mass arrests tomorrow morning.
What we most immediately need is a comprehensive strategy, and related candidate, that implements all our demands at the same time, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System 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:
