Why not occupy from the ground up? Grass roots... the town meetings all of them? There are only 1 - 2 meeting a month... we can change the course this country has been crashing down. When they vote for board members we can show up and take over, I've heard of 4 people showing up to there own town council meeting and becoming board members with a influience on our elected officals...

Greetings from Yorkshire England. Its good to see things happening there - i'm sure you are aware that there is similar frustration & anger here in Europe. What you acheive will have far reaching effects. The rest of the world economies look to the USA as the pinacle of capitalism & aspire to it. So why isnt everyone happy there?! Our 1% is driving us to where you are with promises of a better life for all tomorrow as long as we tolerate suffering today. Is this a lie? The 99%ers of all countries should be on the same side. Its great to see such interesting debates - i'll throw this in.....what about abolishing money?....... regards

This action is the inevitable response to a corrupt, dysfunctional and dying system, the Industrial Age. A new age is emerging, World 5.0. [Previously we were Neolithic, Agrarian, Medieval and Industrial.]

This age is in stark contrast to the previous three ages, all controlled by an elite class. World 5.0 is built on the eternal principles of integrity, justice and balance. It also appreciates that Life Is This Moment, the only place in time where Eternal Awareness and This Constant Flux of Energy comingle.

We must spend our money locally, engage in our communities and revamp our political system to honor human need.

I think we should be protesting the Washington big wigs - The Wall St. firms that everybody hates would be gone if Obama and his cronies didn't bail them out with taxpayer money that does not even exist yet! google "obama wall street connection" - very eye opening!

Occupy Washington is coming ... we all work for the Oligarchs. The Oligarchs or 1% are the money changers and they are Wall St. Obama and his cronies are the people or sheepeople managers. Maybe we are about to kick the money changers out of the temple.

Under the disguise that people would default and lose their homes, except these companies wound up profiting from it.
