We have to get everyone participating in the discussion in order to make the claim that the discussion includes everyone's view. Outreach is extremely important in the initial stages. I believe that the coverage we receive from various media outlets begins to trickle out the message that these participants are saying more intelligent things than are our elected officials. When we can empower others to join the discussion, we can grow exponentially.Kyle Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764918150320843649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052276607606580976.post-75925461014626772302011-10-11T22:43:02.499-05:002011-10-11T22:43:02.499-05:00First step is to to get the public to accept the m...First step is to to get the public to accept the movement as representative of them. Meaning when they see you occupy, somewhere they should be able to see themselves.

I think that is the problem most of us have with the Occupy groups. If you have solutions to the problems, that would be helpful to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
