A humble suggestion in case you're looking for something to say at an "Occupy"...
"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously
as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This
visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi,
now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a
bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish
these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing
the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The
only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not
in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day
vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this
vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply
add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may
call me V."

1. Very good
although I consider any such performance at an actual event as pearls before swine, unless it's made to fellow occupiers. The media would contort such words into threats of violence - proof that the 'occupy' movement is dangerous and that the state's heavy-handed efforts at suppression are justified.

2. While that is magnificent, sound bytes are everything
I would just say, "Remember, remember, the fifth of November", which is bank transfer day, the day those of us who had accounts at banks will be moving them to credit unions. Too big to fail? I think not.

3. Sometimes it's worth saying something just to "jolly up the troops". (NT)

4. "Bank Transfer Day" is indeed something they can easily grasp.
Remember Shadoevision: "We are now broadcasting to your own personal level!" (to cheers)
