Michael Moore's proposal on how we continue Occupying Wall Street thru the winter months:

The Winter of Our Occupation
By Michael Moore

And now it is winter. Wall Street rejoices, hoping that the change of seasons will mean a change in our spirit, our commitment to stop them. They couldn't be more wrong. Have they not heard of Washington and the troops at Valley Forge? The Great Flint Sit-Down Strike in the winter of 1936-37? The Michigan Wolverines crushing Ohio State in the 1950 Blizzard Bowl? When it comes to winter, it is the time historically when the people persevere and the forces of evil make their retreat!

We are not even 12 weeks old, yet Occupy Wall Street has grown so fast, so big, none of us can keep up with the hundreds of towns who have joined the movement, or the thousands of actions -- some of them just simple ones in neighborhoods, schools and organizations -- that have happened. The national conversation has been irreversibly changed. Now everyone is talking about how the 1% are getting away with all the money while the 99% struggle to make ends meet. People are no longer paralyzed by despair or apathy. Most know that now is the time to reclaim our country from the bankers, the lobbyists -- and their gofers: the members of the United States Congress and the 50 state legislatures.

And they're crazy if they think that a little climate chaos (otherwise known as winter in the 21st century) that they've helped to bring about is going to stop us.

I would like to propose to my Occupying sisters and brothers that there are many ways to keep Occupy Wall Street going through the winter months.

1. "us"? I didn't know he was kicked out of the 1% club lol nt

3. I don't think MM thinks of himself as rich.

He fell into fame, rather than trying for it, and it was to tell a story about his city and what GM had done to it. Every single movie has been a fight for the little guy, and I think that is who he identifies with.

4. He may have the income of the 1%, but he uses his own resources to help *us*. Yep, he's one of "us".

6. Indeed

I've been keeping track of Michael Moore ever since Roger & Me and never once have I gotten the idea that he is not on our side. Well once when Alex Jones asked him something but I probably shouldn't talk about that here. Still - I have no problem with the 1% as long as they realize - things must change. Moore definitely recognizes this. He's a huge vocal supporter of Occupy Wall Street - I don't understand why people feel the need to bash him.

7. Why bash Michael Moore

Why bash Michael Moore? = Divide and Conquer

Why bash George Soros? = Divide and Conquer

Why bash Social Security? = Divide and Conquer

Why bash OWS? = Divide and Conquer

...

Need I go on?

10. Sounds about right to me

i'm just surprised when peeps on DU do it I guess.

11. Mind controlled proles... you can't trust them

You never know when they'll turn on you and start working in the interest of the greedy 1%.

2. I'll do it

I would love to go stop some foreclosures.

5. Geesh .. a human baby takes 9 months to be like "born". I'm liking the cadence and timing

of our collective awakening. Sure I have my moments of impatience, but then
I simply remember how long it took little ol' me to be born, then it all seems
more in perspective.
