9. WI was an issue oriented legislative battle....

...with the demonstrators in support of and coordinated with elected officials. It lead directly to electoral initiatives (which are still playing out). They aren't comparable, IMHO.

3. If you think that, then you don't understand this movement.

Not to mention the fact that the freezing cold did not drive away the people of Wisc.

Although it might be a good idea for them to move into some of the people's buildings if they want to.

8. If you really do want change to come about, this is your chance

to step up make it happen.
I'm not talking about bitching online about our problems.
We need to seize the moment.
Organize locally and link up nationally.
Were doing it in our little town of 1200 persons.
Our occupy event is Oct. 15
Use tactics that bring others into agreement with you, this makes them participants and shows the support we share with each other.
An example would be a sign that reads, HONK IF YOU SUPPORT ?, or, HONK FOR NO CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY.
Lets get off our collective asses and do this now.
This is the time we have been waiting for.
We might not get another.
