A Reminder of October 6th.
Starting on October 6, 2011, thousands of concerned Americans will assemble in Freedom Plaza, in Washington DC to take control of our country and our lives. We will occupy the plaza and hold a People's Assembly where we come up with just and sustainable solutions to the crises we face and demand that these solutions be presented and that the people's needs be addressed. We will plan and engage in creative acts of civil resistance and demand that our inherent rights and freedoms be protected, and that our children have a chance to live in peace,to breathe clean air, and to grow edible natural food.

1. I hope you will have 10,000.
The police in NY are taking advantage of the small number of protesters.

When the number gets in the 100's of thousands, you won't even see the cops.

4. How are they going to do this?
"We will occupy the plaza and hold a People's Assembly where we come up with just and sustainable solutions to the crises we face and demand that these solutions be presented and that the people's needs be addressed."

Is there going to be vote by all those present? Is everyone going to have time to speak? Everyone can present their own solution and it will be debated? Who will be leading this?

Or is it going to be people showing up to listen to a few speakers talk about what they would like to have happen, cheering, and basically just like every other standard assembly?
