This Saturday I will be going out and picking up trash on the side of the road. I will wear a shirt that says OAS - Occupy All Streets. If anyone asks what I'm doing, I will say I am cleaning up our streets and I will be cleaning up government next year by voting all incumbents out. Most Americans and working class people worldwide identify with OWS position, but many people do not agree with its methods, which has the 99% fighting the 99%, protesters vs police. We live in a country that allows us to change our destiny by voting. If all OWS people where to start going out and performing civic pride duties, such as picking up litter, helping someone, etc. All in the name of OAS, then you would gather many more supporters. With more supporters comes greater chances of success. Use the tools we have to make a change, show the world your willing to make the world better, by setting an example. Spread the word that you plan to vote all incumbents out. If we don't do our jobs at work we get fired, so if congress can't do their job, they should be fired as well. It"s going to take a radical shift in the election for anything to change. Don't make waste and annoyance by camping out, go out in your neighborhood and show you care.
The Sanitation working group has already begun doing this very thing - cleaning up various neighborhoods :-)
Who is is this Sanitation working group ?
ack, looks like they don't have contact info on the nycga site (most of them probably aren't online)... http://www.nycga.net/groups/sanitation/contact/
i'm not sure where to point you...maybe email owsoutreach@gmail.com to ask them if they have info about the neighborhood cleanup missions being organized
I might recommend that you print up some voter registration forms and pass them out to anyone you speak with on the street.
Cleaning up American democracy is the most important goal you can have and the best way to do that is to register Americans. The Wall Street anti-democracy subversives depend more than anything on the disaffection of the people to give their candidates their winning margin.
Exercising our democracy is the most dissident and activist thing an American can do today.
Yes voting, but in state elections upon ratification of amendments to the constitution that keep congress pure and remove unconstitutional laws. All of this can be done with an article 5 convention. The beginning is the occupation of congress in defense of the constitution. Congress has been violating it for 100 years and this is why the nation is in such trouble today. Here is a list of crimes against us and the constitution. Put congress on notice NOW! The 99% consider them unconstitutional and an Article 5 convention is needed in defense of the constitution.
Federal law regulating oath of office by government officials is divided into four parts along with an executive order which further defines the law for purposes of enforcement. 5 U.S.C. 3331, provides the text of the actual oath of office congressional members were required to take before assuming office.
5 U.S.C. 3333 required you to sign an affidavit that you took the oath of office required by 5 U.S.C. 3331 and have not nor will violate that oath during your tenure of office as defined by the third part of the law,
5 U.S.C. 7311, which explicitly makes it a federal criminal offense for anyone employed in the United States Government to “advocate the overthrow of our constitutional form of government.”,
18 U.S.C. 1918 provides penalties for violation of oath office described in 5 U.S.C. 7311 which include: removal from office, imprisonment, and a fine.
The definition of “advocate” is further specified in Executive Order 10450 which for purposes of enforcement supplements 5 U.S.C. 7311.
Executive Order 10450 specifies a violation of 5 U.S.C. 7311 for any person taking the oath of office to advocate “the alteration…of the form of the government of the United States by unconstitutional means"
According to Executive Order 10450 (and therefore 5 U.S. 7311) any act taken by government officials who have taken the oath of office prescribed by 5 U.S.C. 3331 which alters the form of government other than by amendment, is a criminal violation of the 5 U.S.C. 7311. Such alteration without amendment is criminal violation of 5 U.S.C. 7311 and 18 U.S.C. 1918.
In 1939 the supreme court violated Executive Order 10450 specifiing a violation of 5 U.S.C. 7311

Acts relating to campaign finance are also unconstitutional and comprise “the alteration…of the form of the government of the United States by unconstitutional means"
