(62,325 posts)Did you know that OWS has its own media now and do not want the MSM covering them?
Moms and dads all over the country are part of OWS and the movement keeps growing. They have spent the past several months moving into other constructive areas where they are having a real effect on the lives of real people. Eg, saving people's homes from foreclosure. They have saved more people's homes from corrupt and illegal foreclosures over the past few months, than Congress has done in several years.
And each time they put themselves out there for people, more people join the movement.
Right now, they are being super successful in the courts, exposing the corruption and lies and perjury of the Police. Moving to the next stage, filing lawsuits on behalf of the Press and Elected Officials who were abused by the Police, AFTER winning their cases in court.
Please do not for a moment think that because the MSM has stopped covering them, thankfully, that the movement has gone away. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I am very excited about the continued growth of this movement, which btw, was only meant to last one month when it began, and the direction in which it is now going.
Just last week, eg, they were in Philadelphia, from all over the country, and were asked by Veterans groups to help them protest on the 4th July, which of course they did.
This movement is like all other social justice movments, it is now in its infancy, way, way more successful than anyone had dreamed it would be just months ago when it began. It will be around for years, because it will take years to fix the problems that sparked the movement in the first place.
