(Route will be announced at the rally.) EVEN IF YOU ARE ALREADY A MEMBER OF A CREDIT UNION your presence is highly encouraged, as we need to keep our message to the big banks unified and strong.

It could be as high as 8 or 9 trillion if we factor in the home foreclosures.

So my question is, what is more important, saving the remaining wealth of main street, or continuing to want instant vengeance against the banks?

Does the Occupy Movement care enough to help fight for the 5,000 to 10,000 homeowners who are being foreclosed upon each and everyday in the United States?

If the Occupy movement does care, than simply changing one banking law to “Debt Restructure shall not first require a default” would empower main street.

Just sayin.

I’m guessing you read the oregonian’s article, which got some facts wrong and misconstrued what has happened. the money is not lost. this post by denis theriault of the mercury (http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/BlogtownPDX/archives/2011/10/26/taking-a-breath-over-occupy-portlands-finance-brouhaha) seems to have gotten it the clearest of all of the media channels.

Whatever has been reported, the situation is clearing up, and has largely been the result of miscommunication rather than malice.

I hope you keep in mind that all of this confusion has been the result of many people at OP working very hard trying to make sure that this movement stays transparent and clear, and that this very article which you commented on points out the utter lack of transparency or clarity in the administration at the big 4, the fed, and the FDIC.

LOL. Your missing $20k is hilarious – considering that you consider banks to be greedy and corrupt. Sounds like you’ve got plenty of your own problems.

http://www.bloggersagainstchasebank.com

I believe your instincts are right and your protest sign idea a good one.

There have been ads on there by Chase about how we are opening small banks across the country to help out, because we are doing our part.

If you can read that without barfing, you are tough.

Is anyone organizing people to picket the local Chase banks, with signs saying something like: “These are the people who created the problem”?

Somme brainstorming could create signs that would carry the message better than my quick suggestion.

Is anyone working on this?

Thanks,
grant raddon
