If you are really interested in Occupy you might want to spend some time reading about what they are doing in their group: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1252

I am in a red state and the Occupy actions here have been pretty small (maybe more active in Austin), and I really haven't been involved.

I do support the effort though - as I said they are getting to the status quo and that is progress in my view.

Most of the revolutions in history did not have "masses" they were often a well organized minority jwirr May 2012 #21

Perhaps so. But OWS is not well organized. randome May 2012 #22

Maybe not. randome May 2012 #27
