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.

This movement has been bought and paid for by AdBusters. Other groups are paying protesters. Does that mean your passions go to the highest bidder?
Fools all of you.

If Occupy is against Wall Street bailouts, then why are you marching with the unions? They got @ $200 billion in fitsr Stimulus for public sector unions. All "shovel ready" construction jobs had to be union. Now Obama wants to do it again. Read; Obama's union jobs bill and Davis-Bacon. The auto bailout was really for the UAW. GM would have continued building cars in Canada, Mexico, Asia, and Europe. Then they got a $10 billion bailout of health & pensions in Obamacare. At least Wall Street paid the money back! The more Obama can funnel to Big Labor, te more they can kick back to him for his $1 billion campaign fund.
Of the top 20 political contributors, 14 are unions. Google: Barack Obama, political contributions, opensecrets. OMG! Obama got $15 million from Wall Street & Big Banks, plus another $8.25 bundled. Those huge Wall Street bonuses were approved by the Obama administration! LOOK IT UP!

This movement is apolitical and isn't endorsing any candidates. What the protest is focused on is corruption in our government by Wall Street bribes. What is telling is that all the negativity on this board either clearly doesn't understand the problem, much less the solution, or is just a shill in attack mode.
