Where's the option for "how'd they raise this much money?" The Occupy movements I've worked with can't even afford a banner made out of an old bedsheet.
Did anyone watch the video? THOSE BILLS WERE MARKED. I thought it was a head-scratcher and a waste of money until I saw what was written on the bills. Let's hope they stay out of the hands of banks, because they will be shredded. I want to do this with all my one dollar bills now.
for those of you who missed it there will be a repeat from the same building 5pm today.
Occupy is out of cash but will obligingly piss off the building.
And everybody who claims that they would have put that money to better use probably would have used it for something boring and trite, like drinking. *yawn* You types are so boring.
A large percentage of Americans didn't even know that the Affordable Care Act was upheld by the Supreme Court. These folks fer sure don't know what Citizen's United is.
By stamping what they did on the bills, and having the bills circulate through the population, awareness may be raised. Maybe someone will google it. Be curious about a headline.
If you want to mark your own bills with the same message MicCheckWallSt has a handy-dandy template on their website. http://miccheckwallst.org/wp-content/upl… As a lifelong activist and organizer, when I consider the vast amounts of money that I've spent on flyers that just get thrown away, the value that each of these dollars gave back is huge. And about raising this kind of money, when you put the effort into community and media outreach and do something more interesting than rallies and petitions, people want to get involved.
That is all.
To a corporate lawyer this is one hour's pay for looting the public.
Almost 40 donors.

Much better than "where's George?"....
This was brilliant, but I love that Occupy is "just so last year" that people are dissing it now.
