BREAKING: The Occupy Movement has announced July 4th, 2012 as the date of it's first national convention. It's to be held in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. At which time the current list of proposed demands will be ratified as the platform of the movement. Delegates from each congressional district will be elected at the time, and a resolution will be passed stating that if congress, the President and the Supreme fail to act of the resolved motions coming out of the planned convention, the occupy movement will run a new third party candidate in each and every congressional district in this country. |
This should be interesting. |

Please be aware that this working group does not represent the entire movement. It's basically a small group 53 people who have been working together to propose something to everyone else.
Here's what OWS actually said today:

| quote: | Two weeks ago we conducted an anonymous poll on this website to learn more about our visitors. We asked Héctor R. Cordero-Guzmán Ph.D, sociologist of the City University of New York to look at the data, which he analyzed to create an original academic paper titled "Mainstream Support for a Mainstream Movement".
His analysis shows that the Occupy Wall Street movement is heavily supported by a diverse group of individuals and that "the 99% movement comes from and looks like the 99%." Among the most telling of his findings is that 70.3% of respondents identified as politically independent.
Dr. Cordero-Guzmán's findings strongly reinforce what we've known all along: Occupy Wall Street is a post-political movement representing something far greater than failed party politics. We are a movement of people empowerment, a collective realization that we ourselves have the power to create change from the bottom-up, because we don't need Wall Street and we don't need politicians.
Since our humble beginning a few short weeks ago, we've helped inspire people around the world to organize democratic assemblies in their own communities to take back public spaces, meet basic needs, make their own demands, and begin building a better world today. |
This is that working group's page:

| Is there a militant arm yet? Because the right will be waiting in the wings to start killing people if they get too far with their demands. I hope this group isn't totally driven by peace or they will just get swept under the rug. |

theres militant people everywhere. for its own sake I hope it doesn't get militant needlessly, or the state will throw an iron blanket on it to stop the fire. |
