They're more like "suggestions". ::)
The #Occupy movement has frequently been accused, in media coverage, of not having a clearly articulated demand for the outcome of the protests.
Participants come to the movement for many reasons, prompted by deep frustration with the corruption, fraud, corporate crime, and obstructed democratic process that are endemic to US and global politics.
We don't think any of these individual ideas will solve everyone's problems. We just want real, meaningful change.
These posters were designed by participants at the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City. They are in the public domain. You are welcome to print them out and post them in your own location. You're also invited to make your own.

There are a few decent ideas that were tossed out long before OWS started. (mark-to-market, Glass-Steagall). Here is their list:
Bring Back the Glass-Steagall Act
Audit Bailed-Out Banks
End False Profits / Mark to Market
End Revolving Door Politics
Okay... a few good ideas. Now for the moonbatty stuff where the whole thing falls apart.
Close the Enron Loophole
End Corporate Personhood
Enforce the Volker Rule[
Regulate High Frequency Trading
Repeal Citizens United
Stop the Keystone XL Oil Pipeline
Strike Down Arizona SB 1070
Tax Systemic Risk
Maybe if #OccupyWallStreet had come up with a coherent list of ideas before this mess started, someone other than their fellow travelers might take them seriously. I think it's a little late for that now.
