Some history for thought

As protesters come together to fight for the future, many also come together to help one other understand the reasons we have to fight. Many know at least some of the laws that are behind our economic woes and other problems, some others also understand the very large system that is behind all of this. However, one question that is not being asked (but is important to answer when people might try to defend this broken system) is how did this all begin?

Is there a need for political spectrum in the O.W.S movement?

In many of the mass media channels, there has been some suggestions and insinuations that this movement is predominantly left-leaning. Within the movement, there have been concerns expressed about it turning into a leftist tea party. While there has been significant resistance to the formation of any political party from within, people not as familiar with the movement might view it as left leaning.

What you can do now

Besides engaging in discussion with those around you, spreading the word, and contributing to the forum, there are some key things you can do.

Developing forum (please continue to post to initial blog)

Dear 99,

In order to better develop a vision, there is a poll for users to also use in addition to posting their visions. These subjects may have additional areas in the future. They are meant to help develop a future forum, based on which topics are in the greatest demand. However, please continue to post to the original blog in order to provide a better idea of what topics are of greatest interest. And keep your ideas! They will be necessary for backing up why people have chosen to solve a certain problem (when and if this can be done). 

Vision, Anyone?

Dear 99,

I write to you as a fellow, concerned 99. I want a better future. However, I know that without clear vision, goals are harder to achieve, and a haphazard vision will guarantee a haphazard future.
