What ever you do, don't OCCUPY OBAMA's CAMPAIGN OFFICES [View all]

There was lots of hard work/organizing that led to Obama's decision to stop deporting undocumented youth, but the most recent significant action was the occupation four of his 2012 campaign offices. Hmm.... It's almost as if taking direct action against his re-election campaign led to an almost immediate policy change.

What can we learn from this? Since the Occupy movement and "we are the 99%" memes are still popular among the left, perhaps it would be most effective to highlight the hypocrisy of Democrats/Obama by targeting the Obama reelection campaign directly. Especially on issues that enjoy widespread support on the left. ie. Foreclosures, Wall Street Financial Crimes, Free trade, Vets for Peace. etc.
