insider trading & congress

i think so too. remove regulations, help big business, help themselves. follow the money. it's why i said occupy needs to focus their efforts on d.c., and congress. that's where the heart of the matter is located.

I think politicians are torn. Occupy won't come to them, Occupy won't endorse, Occupy won't be co-opted, the pols will have to admit they agree with Occupy values, but prove it with their actions ... the only ones so far are Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Russ Feingold in Wisconsin ... I'm sure others here can think of names.

Dem or GOP, it doesn't matter, Occupy doesn't care. We'll see who is beholden and owned by their corporate owners (virtually all of them), and who is free to embrace the movements values and stand up to scrutiny by that movement as to the truth of it.

MoveOn.org and the unions are trying to move off the Occupy momentum, but the movement is staying independent. Extremely political, but not beholden. Run in a different manner, with GA's not "leaders". It's hard for some to grasp. But it's working very well so far.
