Nancy Pelosi stands by Occupy Wall Street in *fundraising e-mail from DCCC* - New York Daily News
If you think the 'grassroots movement' she's talking about here is NOT OWS... then who is it?
Nancy Pelosi is standing up for Occupy Wall Street.
The former House Speaker wrote an email to potential donors on behalf of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee asking for financial support.
In the e-mail, obtained by the Washington Post on Tuesday, Pelosi cites a memo from a Washington lobbying firm, Clark Lytle Geduldig & Crandford that has proposed an $850,0000 plan to undermine Occupy Wall Street.
"If you need further proof that Congressional Republicans are putting big Wall Street banks before middle class families, look no further than an explosive memo prepared by former John Boehner staffers-turned-banking lobbyists," writes Pelosi.
The memo from the loybbying firm was obtained by MSNBC's "Up with Chris Hayes."
The California Democrat does not mention Occupy Wall Street by name, but details the plan as one to "attack and discredit grassroots citizen movements working to hold special interests accountable."
"The memo goes on to describe a Democratic victory in November as detrimental to Republican special interests.
They know a Democratic Majority in Congress will fight for middle class families, and make sure that millionaires pay their fair share and close corporate tax loopholes," Pelosi adds, suggesting a contribution of $3 or more.
Um, I was talking about the subject of the thread.

Occupy Wall Street | NYC Protest for World Revolution
Actually read what they are saying, and then we can talk.
Yes, I can definitely see the people who have been living in tents, raping each other and shitting on the sidewalks for the past two months as being a quite adaptable bunch.By the time of the convention OWS will no longer exist in its current form. These people are infinitely adaptable and will always find ways to stay ahead of any authoritarian action to shut them up. By then it will have morphed into something equally stubborn and difficult to ignore or shut up and impossible to co-opt for merely partisan purposes. I predict they will turn the flash mob protest into an art form.

‘Take Back the Capitol’ protesters swarm congressional offices - The Washington Post
Non-partisan my ass.
In John Heilemann's cover story "2012=1968?," he wonders whether Occupy Wall Street protesters will do to Charlotte's Democratic National Convention in the summer of 2012 what demonstrators did to the Chicago DNC in 1968. The North Carolina city, sometimes called the "Wall Street of the South," is not taking any chances, and is already working to pass an ordinance that would make occupying downtown spaces with tents a "public nuisance," in addition to banning "noxious substances," padlocks, and other camping equipment. The fact that it would knock out the city's current overnight demonstrators is an added bonus.
Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx said dubiously last month that the rule, which could be enacted in January, is not aimed at a specific group. "Unlike many cities that have well-developed regulations governing protest activity, our local regulations contain gaps that need to be filled," he said. But a memo about the ordinance does note, "The recent issues related to camping on city property have further amplified the need to review whether the city wants to regulate this activity during the DNC." A city councilman added of the current Occupy Charlotte faction, "Once those ordinances go into effect, those overnight stays will end."

Obama Gingerly Embraces Occupy Wall Street
The most striking aspect of the speech was how it adopted and amplified the economic critique of the Occupy Wall Street movement and, to a lesser extent, the Tea Party, both of which Obama alluded to. He also signaled that hell take on two issues from which a generation of Democrats has shied away: raising taxes on the rich and pushing for a stronger government role in establishing economic security for all Americans.

The OWS expresses the frustrations the American people feel.
The protestors are giving a face of a more broad based reflection.
OWS protesters interrupt Obama's speech
Mr. President: Over 4,000 peaceful protesters have been arrested while banksters continue to destroy the economy,protesters proclaimed. You must stop the assault on our First Amendment rights. Your silence sends a message that police brutality is acceptable. Banks got bailed out. We got sold out.
Well be talking about a whole range of things today and I appreciate you guys making your point,responded Obama.
