“Walkergate” Update: Archer Emails, and Van Hollen partisanship « Badger Democracy
use the @ symbol to tag media outlets, celebs and politicians
Does anyone have advice on how someone on the west coast might contribute?
- Chris Occupywallst Tawasiif you were thinking of contributing time and effort, use the @ symbol to tag media outlets, celebs and politicians like this CNN ABC News CBS News Comedy Central Justin Bieber Barack Obama tag them in posts that speak to our issues, like w...ar profiteering, bank rolled corporate lobbyists, cronyism supporting no bid contracts, and debt forgiveness for the people. the most important part in my mind is to share this group and the website with as many people as you can, whether in real life or online, tweet, share, and tag on both mediums, also share pictures, videos, and if you can make it to one of the actions in your area or organize one. it's going to take a lot of people doing something to make anything change.See More

While the mainstream media has been spending endless hours having producers cut clips from last night's shows, like 'Dancing with the Stars', and wasting air time talking about the entertainment world, let's remember something that's going on in our very real world right now. That's Occupy Wall Street, the protest that's been taking place since Saturday, September 17th where an estimated two thousand people came out. Now four days in, there are about 150 to 200 protesters who still remain camped out in Zuccoti Park, dubbed Liberty Plaza. At least five people have been arrested but the mainstream media remains not entertained.MSM: Occupy Wall St. - YouTube

Occupy Wall St.
I'm 64 years old and I spent a lot of the late 60's and early 70's on the streets fighting for civil rights, women's rights and ending the Vietnam War. I am so proud to see this generation stand up to the injustice that Wall St and the wealthy have brought. I may not be able to be in NY, but I will do everything that I can to get the main stream media to cover your fight. Stand tall and fight! Starting to feel good about America again.
Occupy Wall St.
The important point here to me is to raise awareness and wake up America. That is what these protesters are helping to do. Demands are nice, but the plutocracy is not going to meet any demands so they are not as important as people think. Once America wakes up to what is really going on, the rape of our country, where these rich jerks are setting up rigged games, basically sowing and reaping people and their lives, change is inevitable.
- Vote with your pocketbookChange is also up to us. We must make demands by the way we live and spend. DO NOT buy anything not made in US, support only companies that are on US soil hiring US workers...or live without whatever is it! Buy local, support local business...es, bank with small credit unions, scale down, stop getting into debt. If we do not give them the money they use to enslave us, they will fail, but it takes informing people and THAT is why this protest is important. The plutocracy is afraid and they should be. We the people are a tidal wave and the sleeping giant is waking up slowly but surely.

The carpool notice netted (among many things, I'm sure), two whole BUSloads of people coming in from Wisconsin. Everybody KEEP SHARING. And harass your hometown papers and the national media to cover the news we want to see. http://www.fair.org/index.

SPREAD THE WORD - People on the $treet need our help!
It's clear that the media is not prepared to give this occupation the proper amount of attention it deserves. Nor will they likely portray the people involved in a way that reflects the true values and purpose of the occupation. When the mainstream media finally get around to it, they focus on the matter at hand and completely ignore the reasons that created the need for the occupation in the first place. This is exactly how they dealt with the UK riots and this is what they will do here.
That is unless you continue to spread the word one site at a time.
"Four people have been arrested so far on day 5 | Text & Video
"Four people have been arrested so far (as of 1:28 PM EST) on day 5 of the Occupy Wall Street protest. The first arrest took place this morning during Opening Bell March. At 10:10 AM, Isaac Wilder was taken into police custody and is being held at W. 154 St. New York, NY. One firsthand witness has informed us he was at the front of the peaceful march taking place on a public sidewalk when police demanded protesters turned left. When Isaac asserted his right to continue marching forward in public space, he was immediately arrested.
Two other arrests took place at 12:30 PM EST at Liberty Plaza. Two first-hand witnesses have confirmed the following story:
People were peacefully assembling on the sidewalk and the police told the public that they could not stand on public sidewalks. one person, was standing peacefully on the sidewalk and holding up a sign and the police swarmed him and arrested him. he peacefully went with them, without resisting in any way. People then peacefully walked with him and chanted in solidarity. And the police ran into the middle of the crowd and tackled one of the people there, and arrested him."READ MORE & SHARE The Information with others |OccupyWallSt.org

"Occupy Wall Street" is in place at the time of making and uploading this video. I wish no harm comes to them. I hope President Barack Obama takes personal attention and sees no harm comes to them. I have taken privilege presenting of this video, continued version of nc-Clip 34, in honor of those (mostly young) people who are occupying the 'Wall Street'. I see that they are peacefully rallying to draw attention of the broken American political, economic, and social system. I hope President Barack Obama takes personal attention and sees no harm comes to them.

Who is Occupy Wall Street?
Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%.
The original call for this occupation was published by Adbusters in July; since then, many individuals across the country have stepped up to organize this event, such as the people of the NYC General Assembly and US Day of Rage. There'll also be similar occupations in the near future such as October2011 in Freedom Plaza, Washington D.C. The Website | OccupyWallSt.org
OccupyWallSt.org | The American Revolution Begins Sept 17th
Around three in the afternoon we reconvened our General Assembly. There was a brief discussion on how the Assembly worked due to the new members that were among us. We work as an ordered democratic body that passes proposals through a modified-consensus. Anyone can speak, but there is a list, we call it a stack. Our stack isn't first come first serve – socially marginalized voices are given priority. We use hand signals to express assent (wave your hand high), dissent (wave your hand low), points of process (make a triangle with your forefingers and thumbs), and blocks (make an X with your forearms). A point of process indicates a query or an objection, or, rarely, a valued interruption. A block is used to indicate that the Assembly is disobeying its principles. A block voices its principled objection and the Assembly votes again, a vote of 90%+1 can overturn a block.
The General Assembly heard many proposals, here are some that were approved: the trade union group will attend a meeting with the Teamsters; the arts and culture group are organizing a benefit concert to be held in two or three weeks; our outreach group is heading to marginalized communities; next Saturday is devoted to you, to us, the 99 percent. We also came to consensus on how to respond to the morning's police aggression.
At 4:30 we stood in solidarity with Troy Davis, an innocent man that the state of Georgia wants to murder today. We were joined by the International Action Center.
Afterward we heard a rousing speech from one of our released members, and then broke bread together. At seven we reconvened our General Assembly, which lasted until nine. Among other things, we designated talking spaces and quiet spaces, and we solidified our schedule. We're still here. We intend to stay until we see movements toward real change in our country and the world.
We speak as one. All of our decisions, from our choice to march on Wall Street to our decision to continue occupying Liberty Square in spite of police brutality, were decided through a consensus based process by the group, for the group.| Read More | OccupyWallSt.org | The American Revolution Begins Sept 17th
Police raid Occupy Wall St.: Rights defender in critical condition, 8 arrests - National Human Rights | Examiner.com
Occupy Wall Street issued a report near mid-day Tuesday stating they "hope police did not murder" the man having an asthma attack as a group of police officers attacked him and ignored medics saying he needed an ambulance.
"While mainstream news sources continue to report low numbers of the occupation, IBTimes states, "Reports now generally estimate the number of protesters at around 200, though it is worth noting a number of claims sent to the IBTimes have since disputed this, claiming the actual number is far higher.""

"Only by desperately clinging on to a world that’s slowly slipping away between their greedy fat fingers can those in power sustain the illusion of control. It will soon be at end. After all, it won’t be us who bring the French banks to their knees. At this pace, the banks will do that job for us. Out of their own voluntary greed. Their own shortsighted profit motive. Their own reckless casino games."
