A suggestion for OWS Act II - 'Occupy Our Country"
   
This idea springs from a thread here.

Start a movement of OWS bus caravans modeled on the civil rights era Freedom Riders.

The caravans would move very slowly through towns and cities across the country like traveling OWS camps. 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 Country

What are your thoughts and ideas?

Clogging up traffic- because that worked out so well for you guys last time.  

And yes, please, bypass the MSM, and bring your traveling drug-and-disease circus straight to the 99%, where we live.  I'm sure the local law enforcement will be glad for the advanced warning, too.

1. 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. :stoner:

3. Fair enough. Here are a few counter-arguments.
   
There are a lot of logistically astute people out there. 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.

Sounds like psychedelic VW buses are about to make a come-back. :-)

Transporting all the drugs across state lines to keep the hippies happy will also draw other types, like cops itching for a major drug bust.

"The television IS the marijuana".

Also, I would like to file a formal complaint.  It is "Stedenko", not "Stadanko".

I thought it was Stedenko, second guessed myself, and changed it to Stadanko after I posted it.  I can't change it now, but you are more than welcome to modify it, though.  :-)

I only remember it because I had the original vinyl album and remember reading the back of it.

Damn photographic memory.
