It's time to make our first 3 demands. #OWS
Edited on Wed Oct-12-11 07:01 PM by Blue State Bandit
Now that the movement has captured the imagination of a plurality of Americans, and public officials have been forced to recognize it's existence, the first of our demands should be put forth for a vote and officially declared. These first demands must be bold as well as realistic. They must be readily implemented; with universal appeal within the growing ranks, as well as reasonably presented. But most importantly, must create a narrative.
My proposed 3:
1) The dismantlement on News Corp and RICO charges against it's executives and other actors involved in their criminal activities.
2) The expeditious break-up of banks involved in both investment and savings style banking and the immediate seizure of assets gained and distributed to executives (in the form of bonuses) through malicious actions (forclosures/inside trading/sub-prime/mortgage backed securities fraud/ect.).
3) The immediate adoption of a verifiable paper ballot system for all federal, state and local elections and roll-back of all voter-suppression legislation passed in all jurisdictions.
These three things are low hanging fruit in the sense that they can be implemented in short order (before 2012 elections). Number 2 may not be completed by this time, but frog marches coupled with solid steps toward this demand could be acceptable.
Most importantly, it will expose those politicians who are against us, and highlight those who are willing to work for the people in the lead up to the 2012 elections.
Maybe we can throw in the impeachment of a couple SCOTUS's and the break-up of Koch industries too.
We may not get any of these things at first, but we will get something more important to the movement at this time. More support on the ground.

I'm sure there are teams of people working around the clock to figure out how to meet your demands. :whatever:

This reminded me of the old Steve Martin joke:
I'm holding hostages. They're tied up to a flagpole and I'm going to blow them up at midnight unless my three demands are met:
I want a getaway car, one million dollars in cash, and the letter 'M' stricken from the alphabet.
You see, you always have to make one insane demand so if they catch you, you can plead insanity.

These people are delusional. Considering the embarrassment previous demand lists have caused the #OwstroTurf people, I have to wonder who this "our" is the Blue State Prim is referring to?

Not only that, they have no freaking support to make demands.

My demands are all I can take BJs by hotys and all I can eat carne asada for free.
My demands will be met well before the DUches.
I still have two more wishes.

17. All Federal politicians shall only make $75,000/year and have mediocre health benefits.
The President can take home $80,000/yr and have slightly better health benefits.
This "demand" thing really has them whipped into a froth. It's like the little kid fantasy about having a magic wand. You wave it and you get what you want! That's easy! Everybody loves the three-wishes fairytale and the genie in the bottle story or joke.
Sadly, it's not real life, and we all need to grow up. Even elderly hippies.

It's funny how far people can get off into the weeds when they start with one obviously-false assumption.
