1.0 and 2.0 have been archived. the conversation continues on this forum and FB - with a larger set of folks. For those who are new...dive in and comment, you have been invited to give input to the proposal below for a trans/non-partisan approach to reclaiming America's government for The People - this has not been distributed publicly yet, I am hoping to keep refining it for the next 5 days. Your input, encouragement, discouragement, is seriously appreciated. You can of course leave the conversation at any time - but we [or least I via a pm] need to hear any responses, good bad and ugly.

OCCUPY CONGRESS:THE PLAN 3.0 BETA version
Here is a, perhaps, the short guide for the the inspired and/or cynically apolitical citizen to simply and straight-forwardly regain an honest American Government. By reviewing and then committing to a straightforward set of reform standards for ANY congressional candidate you may consider pledging to look for a local candidate for your Congress who will do the same - regardless of Party or Independence.
OCCUPY CONGRESS:The Plan is, by setting forward a simple set of radical trans/non-partisan governmental reforms, via Congress [U.S. and then State] aiming to begin the return of Power to the Working Class [also known as the 99%]. Admittedly the word radical is used because of the vast influence of corporate money on on Federal and State Elections, media spin and deception in all manner of matters, a thorough overhaul is desperately needed if we are to avoid the continual eroding of our Congressional Representation.
The following popular mandates represent pledges we expect any serious politician to make to effect honest popular change, reflected in the will and the commonly perceived need of the people: They reduce and regulate the power of Trans-National Corporations, Banks and the 2 Party system to corrupt the ‘1 person, 1 vote’ representative democracy envisioned by the Founders of the Country and the Constitution and shared as a common bond of fellow democratically minded.
If you are in general agreement with the above - read on - it is a suggestion from an independent American voter and his friends to you - a simple request to all incumbents and new Congress Folk to take the Occupy America / Take back America
