I have a few aces up my sleeve for a possible youtube campaign. I'm getting crafty in a photoshop, and have a canon eos 60D, so I might look at the possibility of putting together a video. I'm not much a video personality but I can make do in a pinch. Also I may have one or 2 occupiers and i can swipe up for this cause. <br /><br />Yeah, as far as good candidates to back. . .thats very up in the air and is going to take some serious research. senate, house, president. . . we're talking a couple thousand candidates to shift through . . . we need more manpower to this one.<br /><br />Oh and thanks very much for what you said on my page, I got to thinking on the issues very thoroughly and put down my true opinion on the issues covered. I have good intentions towards this but am limited myself in what I can do. <br /><br />I'll be back on a little later (crying baby in background) and we'll see what we can get rolling on this stuff. unfortunately i'm not very researched at all on the law/amendment changes which you proposed, so that is going to take some reading on my part there.<br /><br />talk to you soon,<br />-ChaseChasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005448174265549209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744905805645401693.post-61851932533618102652011-11-21T14:02:41.463-08:002011-11-21T14:02:41.463-08:004.1 now up on FB Occupy Congress : the plan:https:...4.1 now up on FB Occupy Congress : the plan:https://www.facebook.com/groups/occupycongress2012/doc/131687696940195/citizen xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15308894677515821928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744905805645401693.post-53630240249984382662011-11-21T07:51:51.926-08:002011-11-21T07:51:51.926-08:00rest up! I am more than pleased that you see this ...rest up! I am more than pleased that you see this attempt as a good start and comprehensive effort. Most of the folks viewing so far have been friends - they can only be so objective...<br /><br />People have responded on FB - where it is easy and convenient to do so - but here and the dedicated discussion forum were dead. But yesterday was the first day that the BETA did not look super raw and a little chaotic and crazy...and I have a hard time gauging other folks interest in typo-ridden poorly formatted long proposals. Glad I was able to smooth it out to pass more serious muster.<br /><br />Still hoping for 3 more days of BETA - to keep me on deadline if nothing else! And then hopefully all involved will feel good enough about it to push it far and wide. FB/Forums/local radio [I have leads aplenty there in my tiny norcal county - and the next one over too now that I think on it.<br /><br />I thought your Occupy Congress page was the best one FB in terms of thinking, content,, etc<br /><br />It is funny cause a local here suggested I go to occupy oakland or SF and get 'their approval'. I thought about this - but intuited pretty much what you stated - that clashing with police was more important than real world reform...<br /><br />Ironically enough I am certain it will take a whole other group of occupiers like ourselves to craft a plan that they will be the ones getting behind come election.<br /><br />You are right about info/advertising - the only hope I see and it is as slim as it is possible - is that we can generate enough movement with the platform that we can quickly garner a few candidates - hopefully the likes of Paul, Kucinich and Sanders in the Senate - IF so - and I have only a good friend who is old buddies with Sanders - then we can garner - rather easily at that point, all the local indie radio, Democracy Now, even possibly HuffPo that we can handle. I can take time most days to go around to dozens of forums and post in friendly threads with a link, etc, but what we need are candidates who sign on, big, little, small, then we have a transpartisan platform story re: actual candidates, which should be news everywhere but the MSM. <br /><br />IF the movement goes viral via youtube video [one is slowly in the works] then I am thinking that revenue stream goes into a pot for all occupy congress/senate etc candidates with small war chests. But even with a viral Occupy Congress video, money will be the issue it always in elections - especially with the MSM informed voteer. Voter registraion/ garnering the 50% that don't usually vote will be key - as it was for Obama in the black community. <br /><br />The plan is pretty solid - with a few points needing serious detail and better script/links and a video! - the movement will gain steam naturally during election time 0 but we have to / w/ a couple hundred candidates be ready by early spring [heck I do not even know when the congressional filing deadline is...<br /><br />There it stands chas. Talk soon.<br /><br /><br /><br />So if we can not get a middle-eastern spring thing going where the occupy congress/senate/WH is THE buzz - it will not go far.citizen xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15308894677515821928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744905805645401693.post-87318879315860175452011-11-20T21:53:57.104-08:002011-11-20T21:53:57.104-08:00Nice, very well thought out and laid out. I'd...Nice, very well thought out and laid out. I'd love to throw down a great response, but unfortunately I just worked 16 hours. . .and I want it to be coherent. Give me about 24 hours or so and I'll be willing to put down a good response for ya. <br /><br />I do want to throw this one out for thought real quick though and see if we can get a few ideas about this one. <br /><br />I noticed and liked several of the ideas and how to spread the word and help spread the movement to achieve its goals. These are good and very essential. The tough one would be to get through to as much of the American Public as possible. This being those who are ignorant of even the points of the occupying movements which every American can truly agree upon. Sadly the most effective way towards this I can think of is advertising to let our goals be known or campaigning to a point. Which takes mucho dinero. <br /><br />So how to educate the general American on what we're about on low budget. <br />and let them know that hey we're not trying to make this a radical new government.<br />we want to make this a fair government.<br />that we are willing to listen and trying to promote true concerns of the people.<br /><br />Anyways, I'm getting ahead of my original goal on resting and putting this together in a more coherent fashion so I'll pick this back up tomorrow.<br />Thanks,<br />ChaseChasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005448174265549209noreply@blogger.com
