In reply to the discussion: OWS has meant just as much - if not more- than the teabagger movement to politics... [View all]midnight
(26,624 posts)thirty years of ALEC sponsored bills and Koch paid rallies... Remember OWS is coming up on their first year anniversary... And their rallies have been Koch blocked with Goldman Sachs police dept... I think given the short amount of time, and the pittance of money tOWS has, they have made an impressive national presence for themselves.. Remember the Koch boys are working with the second generation of the John Bircher's who essentially morphed into AlEC ... And that is one secret entity that was been beaten out of the bushes in Wisconsin by a Madison Professor. This brave man almost lost his job for letting the Wisconsin people know who was writing these bizarre laws. Well anyways, the OWS movement took off not to long after the Wisconsin people roared...
And another good point you make about no OWS presence in Congress... I think the one who stands most audibly as a voice of the 99% is Bernie Sanders.. We don't have much right now, but what we have is this wonderful caring man...
