A Movement is Born
Jammers, dreamers, rabble-rousers, revolutionaries,
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is thundering across America, threatening to morph into a full fledged national movement. Channeling the nonviolence of the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprising and the bottom-up collective decision making of the Spanish acampadas, we vow to end the monied corruption of our democracy.
This Saturday #OCCUPYWALLSTREET enters its third week … be there at Noon and stay for the weekend … or be at one of the 50+ fledgling occupations now being organized across the land.
Our people's democracy movement is about to get three mighty boosts:
- On October 6, a few thousand of us will swarm the capital and #OCCUPYDC. Find out the plan at october2011.org
- On October 15th, the movement goes global … check it out at 15october.net
- Then, on November 3 and 4, we have something special in mind for when the G20 leaders meet in France.
Time to live!
for the wild,

PS.
Our movement needs more edgy theatrics … maybe we should tar and feather the Charging Bull … or burn an effigy of Lloyd Blankfein? Send your wild ideas to [email protected].
To get a sense of the visceral mood at #OCCUPYWALLSTREET, check out the daily dispatches from OccupyTVNY along with the mini-documentaries "We Are The 99%" and "Nobody Can Predict The Moment Of Revolution." Also, David Graeber's op-ed in the Guardian and Nathan Schneider's article in the Nation are worth reading.

Our original revolution was born on the idea of no taxation without equal representation. This is what we have today. The majority of our citizens interests are not represented by "our" government. Wall Street runs Pennsylvania Avenue. Our country was hijacked long ago. This must end now.
I just hope that every half-baked hipster who has 15 agendas and thinks anarchy's cool will get it.
Focus on the task at hand.

I like the Demands list posted by GhandiKingMindset at http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-please-help-editadd-so-th/
Succinct, savvy. Not perfect (what is?), but I highly recommend the GA coalesce around this "Demand"
Thanks!

It is nice to see people take a stand and let Wall Street know we are the people the constitution is protecting. Corporations are not people. Bring government back to the people. Stop corporations from buying our politicians.
