Occupy Congress on Jan. 17: ‘Largest Occupy protest ever’

It'll be funny to hear what the naysayers have to say about this. They said OWS shouldn't protest in a park. Well, they aren't in a park anymore...

When organizers asked on Facebook what “unified message” they should all bring to Congress, commenter Donna Hebert wrote:“End corporate personhood. Term limits in congress (3 in house, 1 in senate)... End salary or health insurance tenure. Reform campaign finance to end corporate/pac donations.” Within minutes, the comment had nearly a dozen likes.

Yes, yes, YES, a thousand times YES.

It will be comedy gold if more people like Donna Hebert show up!

2 more issues for OWS:

1. End women's suffrage.
2. Ban the chemical HOH from our rivers, streams, and lakes.

Okay, fixed.

I'm taking bets on how many people show up. I'm guessing less than 500.

Can't accuse them of thinking too small:

Protesters say they hope to set up 1 million tents in front of the Capitol. “We’re taking the movement straight to their doorstep,” the protest’s Facebook page wrote.

One MILLION tents?

I smell epic fail.

They could always try and make up the numbers with Islamists and Truthers.

Did somebody say they shouldn't protest in a park? If they are going to be in a park they need obey some basic laws like no overnight camping, no raping, etc.

Wow, that's consensus!

Why does one need to "occupy' our most democratic branch of government?

WHAT?!?

1 Senate term = 3 Representative terms = 6 years

At least I think that is what she wants...

The answer to that is that it's just concentrating all the criminals in one area.
