These are my legal OWS ideas. Please add yours
Some of these may not be logistically possible. But they are fun to think about!

-NYC/Occupy the cabs around NYC-Imagine if all or most of the cabs could be "occupied" around the Wall Street lunch period

-Occupy restaurants and cafeterias with paper plates with OWS taped or written in black ink

-Occupy the elevators in the Wall Street buildings

-Occupy the billboards along stretches of highway

-Occupy churches with OWS hats on Sundays

-Occupy sidewalks on rainy days with black and white umbrellas and the OWS logo

-Occupy the subways

-Occupy parking lots with 'We are the 99%' flyers

So what do you think? Fun to think about?

2. Well if they really wanted to bring the system to halt don't fight it.

Join it.

Pick a bank.

Bank of America.

Pick a City.

New York

Have thousands enter each of the bank branches and have each one of them have $ 20 and request to open a savings account.

Have each one of them politely ask about their CDs.

Then have each one join in a line to deposit $ 5 with a teller and the next day withdraw $ 10.

You get the idea.

Everything in order. Everything legal. This is how Saul Alinsky would do it.

In two weeks Bank of America's retail bank operations will have collapsed.

No arrests, in out of the rain. Everyone smiling and friendly.

3. occupy the power centers such as state capitals, mayors offices
city halls, etc.

Make sure many people carry the same signs that have the same message.
