Occupy the Courts nationwide.
 Occupy the Courts will be a one day occupation of Federal courthouses across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on Friday January 20, 2012.

Circle the Court - a day to encircle the Federal courthouse in Phoenix with thousands of people (hopefully) carrying signs concerning corporate personhood, rescinding Citizens United.

 

You have to do so better then that for consideration.

1. wow. Does it get any dumber than this?
 If you interfere with the legitimate operation of government you're asking for a serious crackdown. OWS will lose all legitmacy and may quickly find itself branded a criminal organization.

It's also stupid because 50% of the parties going to court have a good reason to be there and they deserve to have their cases heard.

4. You cannot shut down legit government functions no matter how important the issue is to you
 If people shut down government offices everytime they had a beef with something the government did that upset them nothing would work.

Go ahead, tell the cons they can shut down the IRS, EPA, etc anytime they disagree.

If anyone goes through with this absurd stunt they face hard federal prison time. The 1st amendment will not protect you. You have the right to petittion the government, not interfere with it.

The lonestarnut is a total idiot, a waste of human cells.

There was the time she wanted to sue a restaurant because her mother was taking care of a guide dog for the blind, and because her mother wasn't the blind person owning the dog, the restaurant wouldn't let her mother come in with it.

And of course all those corpses hanging from trees after a hurricane; a sight the lonestarnut "saw" from nearly 1000 miles away, clear over on the other side of Texas.

But my personal favorite was when the lonestarnut predicted hunger in America would end at 11:00 a.m. January 20, 2009:

6. There must be something we can do before Jan. 20th. How many will actually die between now and then as a result of desperation? 26 days.

Well it's stupid but it actually makes more sense to me to disrupt government agencies and courthouses than disrupt private businesses.

They really should be trying to occupy the White House and Congress.

Actually, I wish they'd occupy the governmental offices where welfare checks are calculated and mailed out.

I think that occupying a few military establishments would work out well - I'm assuming that they have armed guards...
