Occupy is a year old; how could the Occupiers improve their movement?

This Monday marked one year since the Occupy movement began. What started out as a small protest in New York grew to become a global movement. Activists gathered to commemorate the anniversary at the New York stock exchange.

With the one year anniversary, what do you think Occupiers could do to improve their movement?

    • Be specific! Dig deep for the dirty dirt that will turn American's citizen's stomach's inside out.
      Name Corporations & their leadership like super PAC funding Koch brothers for example who get billions of dollars in government contracts & mfg Georgia Pacific paper products.

      Call them out as traitors and destroyers of America & it's people.Call them out for taking American citizens purchasing power and using it to fund their growth in other countries rather than in America. Call them out as the greedy PAC men they are.

      Most of all call on the American people to make the sacrafice to vote with their wallets. Real change comes by way of the people not the government!

    • Get everybody, all the unemployed, elderly, disabled and everyone that has been screwed by the system. It's time for a '' I'm mad as hell '' moment.

      The 99% has a major problem...they have no leadership. This is also the major downfall with the Progressive Revolution in general.

      A spear is worthless with a flat block on the end instead of a sharpened tip.

      only problem with that is that they would now be a PART of the problem, and not a separate solution. MHP had two folks from 'the movement' on her show last Sun http://mhpshow.msnbc.com/ and look for Occupy Wall Street: One Year Later video segment. Explains their premise regarding your suggestion. Very well done.

      The Tea Party (which are Republicans) took over by convincing stupid people to vote for them by claiming government was broken because it was too big. And when they got elected, they willfully refused to govern to prove their own point.

      One of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on the American people.

      I follow numerous people that claim to be on the 'inside' of the 99% revolution, but they all have different visions for the future.

      This is what is wrong with Progressives as a whole. They cannot decide on one singular point. The Regressives are in the minority...have ALWAYS been in the minority, but always seem to cling to power.

      If the Progressive Revolution ended the debate within their own ranks, the Regressives could be annihilated.
