Poll question: There's a DU meme that we are all just keyboard warriors here
I know personally that it isn't true. But lets talk on the ground politics, shall we? OWS isn't just a protest anymore, it's a movement, so how have you contributed thusfar?:

1. I've been to Occupy Philly a few times.
I want to go to New York but I haven't been able to get there as of yet.

2. I've been down to Westlake (Occupy Seattle)
but just to drop off stuff. I'm still getting over a nasty cold and have no interest in being a Typhoid Mary to this movement. It will still be there on Sunday and so will I. I hope people understand this is a long term movement and that new people cycle in. It can't sustain without everyone's help.

3. I've done money and supplies
Also visited Occupy Seattle. Don't think that those who are there only for the major events count as occupiers, though.

4. If you stay overnight, you occupy
I brought blankets, though I found out that the folks who were cold last night were the ones who were at the Courthouse (?). I didn't stay long because, as I said, I didn't want to make anyone sick.

6. I've found that the hardest thing when doing Polls is to think of all the permutations
I was just hoping to make a point that we aren't all just sitting at our keyboards unless it's 3:14 in the morning and we're nightshifters, you know?

7. Definitely other....
The idea of anyone or anything associated with OWS being in any way warrior-like is kinda funny to me... and kind of sad...
