Go to this link and join this FB page. I am trying to get direct action started in Lawrence, Kansas and every time anyone (even from out of town), joins this group it adds momentum. Occupy Wall Street was minIscule when it started, but before two months had passed it had created thousands of new activists, gave us a new vocabulary and changed the terms of the debate on wealth inequality. If we act collectively we can take back our country. And THANK YOU!!!!! #OccupyCongress
