Why not the "People Party"

[maxrandb]

Saw a post where it was suggested that the Wall St protesters should come up with a name. Doesn't need to be sophomoric and contrived like "Tea Party"...we already had one of those in this country, and those original Tea Partiers would dive into Boston Harbor and reload the tea on the Brittish ships if they knew these corporate backed asshats had highjacked their name.

I have no right to suggest anything, because I am not out there protesting...I'm at work, but I'm off this weekend if anyone knows of a Virginia Beach event, but I am offering that the simple and true name "People Party" might be a good name.

Or how about "the Ninety-niners"?

9. The People's Populist Front of Judea might still be open!!

Splitters!!!!

2. I like the People's Party, but that would never survive the media freakout about Stalinism or some

crap like that.

4. "We are the 99%" does say a lot.

10. I am the 99%...We are the 99%

I am selling bumper stickers that say I am the 99%

I was reading al the personal stories last night on http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/ and it was so very heartbreaking.
So many people going through so much, it's no wonder our economy is in the toilet.
I've been asking for months if it ws time for the pitchforks and torches and these brave young people out there standing up for the rest of us should be commended with all our voices.

6. The 99%

R-US.

7. Or simply the "Us" party. That gets the word people our of the name which

as another poster said would freak out the media. I agree, in fact I was thinking similar ... a name would give a lot of focus.

8. Peoples Front of Judea...

11. Try something else

They already think we're dirty red communists as in the Peoples' Republic of (fill in the blank).

[RKP5637]

13. Like the "Peoples' Socialist Republic of America." Yep, that's how

Fox News would morph it, guaranteed.

14. at which we need to quit running away from - just because *they* say communist

we respond with we are the 99%. We need to quit walking away from meaningful dialog. Once we, one to one, start really explaining what it all means, we will continue to be bullied. Once we quit the social media and start socializing with others, we'll always be dejected.

Bring on the communist talk! Our keyboards work too :)

12. That's already taken

But I'll donate my idea:



They can use it!

15. Good One!

I also like The "Beer Party". Then the protesters can invoke Ben Franklin saying; "Beer is proof that God loves and cares about us".

Mmmmmmm Beer!
