Thousands Headed to NYC for Wall Street Occupation
by

Saturday September 17th is the arrival date for thousands of people tired of the corporate stranglehold on economic policies. Wall Street, New York City is the place to show up with a tent.  On the 17th of September, we want to see 20,000 people to flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months. Once there, we shall incessantly repeat one simple demand in a plurality of voices and we will not leave until that demand has been met. Like our brothers and sisters in Egypt, Greece, Spain, and Iceland, we plan to use the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic of mass occupation to restore democracy in America. We also encourage the use of nonviolence to achieve our ends and maximize the safety of all participants. |

I get the whole democracy thing but what America and it's main stream media is asking, is... is this about student loans while wall st gets bailed out and we still don't have jobs and pay taxes with our unemployment? Or what? they need a target statement. Just thought I'd lend my extensive experience since there's something very ground roots and possibly nobel here.
