Occupy DNC

How does the Democratic Voter get the Chairperson to recognize how polarizing a figure she has become? And how can we build a movement on the recent revelations about the DNC as well as to discuss differing concerns going into next year's election?

How does Occupy Underground intend to occupy?

Here is a quiet little forum that Sanders supporters should be all over. "How to change the DNC?" should be serious discussion, not just used as a weapon. One needs committees, not just a candidate.

Exercising the mind keeps me from worrying aout personal concerns.

I wish more Americans cared about our personal concerns. We'd be a democratic country once more.

The Occupy movement is dormant. WAKE UP !!

the party, the Democratic primary process, and the Democratic candidates.


Of course she won't resign. She won't apply her own meme to herself. She won't put her party before herself.


Therefore, what is needed is a firestorm of protest emails, faxes, telephone calls, etc. to every Democratic member of congress. Plus, it is important to include postings to every M$M Facebook page and website comments section. This firestorm needs to be persistent, widespread, and unrelenting until DWS is gone.

Let OPERATION OCCUPY DWS commence!

... which happens to be the only game with an already scheduled time of starting at 7 PM CST, and hold up signs to hopefully get aired on television to tell viewers to watch the DNC debate (or at least record it on their DVRs) that is scheduled at the same time. Maybe find a way to get in a lot of portable TVs to take with them to watch the debate while they are watching the game too. Maybe holding up a sign saying that DWS should be fired for forcing them to make Iowans and other Americans to make these sorts of choices to screw up Iowans choices of getting information on the election with other important events in their lives too.

I wonder if the DNC under the DWS's leadership intentionally picked that date for a debate, knowing that it would likely clash with this game that so many iowans might watch instead of the debates that night to try and f with one of the first primaries (caucuses) in terms of debate exposure.

It's bad enough that now the rest of the debates are on weekends when there are more clashes with people's weekend other habits than watching TV even in prime time then, but then it looks like they might be even strategically scheduling the timing of debates on weekends too. December 19th is also a likely travel date for many other people, along with being holiday time for many other holidays other than Christmas then too.

Hey! SoCal,
My belief is that the political revolution Bernie champions is directly challenging all levels of the establishment, including the DNC. Look... here we are discussing it.
*Awareness & action*
I emailed my Dem State Chair and it was followed through with a 20 minute phone call. We had a great conversation and I was welcomed to contact him again as I choose.
I tried reaching Debbie Wasserman, and no such luck, but each of our states has a Dem chair that is much more reachable. They also are superdelegates and we can influence them regarding their vote, which would be to follow the flow of the masses - currently this is Bernie.
Peace!
