Tea Party exercised political influence and brough about change because they VOTE!! The Occupy movement will have to OCCUPY THE POLLING BOOTH or NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE.

@gov360dotorg your so old school, man. Voting is worthless until there's someone to vote FOR. Hey, do you want a sharp stick in the eye or a cattle prod in yer nose. You have Choose. You Have to You have to. ... More people should RUN. and more people should pay attention to the 3rd party candidates... but voting Dem or Rep is just a waste of time. They are both bought an paid for.

The 99% have to convince the 53% that the 1% are screwing all of us.

George Carlin said it best when he said that the one thing the "powers that be" don't want is a population of informed citizens. That is bad for their agenda bc they need to keep people stupid so they will follow along ... In this light was the creation of the false two party system paradigm of which the tea party almost slipped away from and OWS is struggling (against a police state financed by the elite)

It's my belief that the best solution is the proper exercise if the constitution.

@MrMalcolm900 you must get down with us if we want to win. Lets agree with RON PAUL and the constitution brother :)

Read this book: From Dictatorship to Democracy.

It has been credited for much of the strategies that have led to successful people's resistance movements across the world in recent years!

@PJ916 It's to enhance the level of sound so that everyone in the area can hear what is being said. Not all the occupy camps are allowed amplification equipment so a call and response is used.

[PJ916]

Why is it that all the occupiers have to be given words to chant and repeat at all their rallies? Is this because they're just good little sheep that think, do and repeat what they're told? No self-respecting tea partier would ever sit still for that. How embarrassing for OWS!!!!!!!!!
