Poll question: Is it time for DU to set up a separate OCCUPY WALL STREET topic ?
The real question at hand is simple. Should the full resources of the blogleft part of the world be thrown in behind Occupy Wall Street ?

Here's some choices.

Echoing the Occupy Wall Syteet

1. No, please don't...
I use this as a clearinghouse for most of my current events information, similar to Twitter.

If you were here for the Madison/Wisconsin events, it was a great wealth of information and solidarity...

PLEASE do not send this off to the I/P, 9/11 land...

3. The thing is your no is framed as a negative. Push polls are not
part of the new paradigm. DU needs to let OWS etc knock around the boards freestyle or risk becoming redundant in a week's time.

4. No.
It would become nothing but an anti-Obama thing, distracting from the purposes of OWS.

5. omg, people call for this for EVERY topic du jour.
Can you imagine what the Susan Boyle forum would look like today? Or the Octomom group?

It's a topic for GD. It will be discussed and to some it will feel ad nauseum. And we will all live.

6. My vote is not on there. Not now. Maybe if OWS drags on & becomes irrelevant to MSM-addled public
But right now it's the most important item in the news.

That would be like creating a separate forum for the Iraq war right after it started.

And nice way to push poll. I'm not confused at all. No dungeon for OWS.
