The Occupy movement has been criticized as lacking any specific demands. Granted, it is a brand new movement and completely grassroots, so the critics seem to be completely ignorant of the fact that this is not a corporate run campaign. It’s “the little people” doing all the work and there is a lot of varying viewpoints involved. But, given our founding principles of diversity, you’d think that this would actually be one of our highlighted strengths. One of my fellow OLA 99%ers wrote this statement of demand in a recent blog post and I only hope it’s brought to the GA soon and spread about to other Occupy GAs.

“We ask for investigative action, and support all concurrent efforts by Treasury and Justice to hold accountable those parties responsible for the massive losses incurred by their procedures and practices. Specifically those practices that used artificial valuations under false pretenses to profit from the losses they intended to incur on depositors or investors, those that entrusted their money with them or their institutions.”

This is a great start! You can find the whole blog post here: http://occupylosangeles.org/?q=node/1606
