Proposal: OWS reply to purported Democratic support | OccupyWallSt.org Forum

In recent days, Democrat politicians have began to express their support for OWS, most notably House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. Most of these politicians have accepted large contributions from the financial industry in the past. I would like to propose the following:
That any elected official that expresses support for OWS should be asked the following question:
Are you willing to stop accepting campaign contributions from such financial institutions as Wall Street Investment firms, hedge funds, and any financial institution that accepted TARP bailout money in 2008? If their answer is not an unequivocal yes, than they should be told that their support is nothing but empty rhetoric and that it is not wanted or needed.
As the highest profile Democrat to publicly support OWS, Nancy Pelosi should be the first elected official to be asked this question.
