Advance teams could prep the media and scope out local Occupy issues in upcoming stops. Use social media to advertise the action. In each town the caravan could help set up an Occupy camp and use it as a place to hold teach-ins on global, national and local topics. Give the locals a forum to lead media-accessible workshops on their own issues. Conduct special direct action events as local opportunities present themselves (occupy a local CEO's driveway?). Seed the nucleus of a local Occupy presence if one doesn't already exist. Encourage locals to join into the caravan. Move on to the next town.It's a facilitated local grass-roots consciousness-raising movement. It could run year-around, and would be a great way to keep the movement active and visible during the winter. It bypasses the MSM and goes straight to the 99% where they live.Occupy Our CountryWhat are your thoughts and ideas?

That sounds like an excellent idea Occupy Wall Street organized a march from New York to DC, picking up people along the way and ending up with more people than they began with. If Occupy LA tries that tactic, Lord knows how many more will join the original marchers, since it'll be a coast-to-coast march.Start out with a few thousand marchers and you just might end up with millions, even tens of millions, of angry American citizens fed up with being ripped off occupying Congress in numbers far too big to ignore.
The gigantic DUmmy BennyBoy is getting excited. Someone is picking up his bright idea to walk from California to DC.
Will he be on his motorcycle, or stuffed in the back of the weed van?
You have to ask? Given their druthers, ALL lazy, filthy DUmbasses prefer to be in the back of the weed van.

Gas and food money can be found.Think of the caravans as mycelium, spreading out through the country - a small number of people in each one can seed a large number of new local camps in the places they visit. As far as the locals are concerned, they are Occupying Where They Live. Nobody needs to go anywhere else unless they feel called.The "pilgrimages" don't need to be permanent. They will probably spring up and die out organically - that's a quality of the movement right now, after all.
