My own personal effort has been centered on getting all Occupies to adopt the Statement of Demand for 5 January and the Electoral Reform Act of 2012 (now crowd-sourced into version 4.3) for mandatory sponsorship by each representative and senator to be confronted during the holiday recess.

I thought I had some of the excluded political parties on board, but now it turns out they would rather be window-dressing and not advance this. Does make me wonder if their leaders are covertly funded by CIA, I cannot think of any other logical explanation for their refusing to consider the one thing we can all support.

It is also the one thing that could raise $500 million quickly (50 million times $10 each).

I just do not see Occupy leadership emergent–they are trying too hard to be all things to all people and not at all focused. This will, I believe, cost us all the chance to flush a corrupt Congress into the open: either support the Electoral Reform Act of 2012 or be hounded out of office one by one.
