2. THIS IS A TEST - First post for the Occupy Wall Street liaison account.

From: Occupy Wall Street

The password for this account is held by OWS organizers at Liberty Square. The account will be used to post items directly to DU membership and other DU readers.

-- Most of these items will also appear on the occupywallst.org site. Cross posting will be for the convenience of DU members.

-- A few items will focus specifically to the DU members themselves. Site features at DU are marked conveniences for subsequent discussions.

-- The "private message" function at DU should be used to report editorial problems. Do not count on all of the messages replying to this account's postings to be read by OWS. Things are kind of busy down here.

-- We are in favor of having a first DU Gathering for OWS on Saturday at 11 AM on October 8, 2011. The site is the big Cube on the Broadway side of Brown Brothers Harriman, at the corner of Broadway and Liberty.

-- A speaker from OWS will greet everyone from DU. A statement of purpose and an invitation to support OWS will be presented.

Thank you.

7. Welcome to DU, OWS! You have a second home here.

This place has great resources, technical capabilities, and more than anything a great core of active Members. Just ask, and we're yours.

6. Who cares?

OWS is not about politics; it's not necessary to have politicians involved.
