"Take the money out of the politics" "End corrupt government" "Help those in need" "Recall (when and where you can)" "Keep corporate hands off government" "Stop greed" "Wake up" "End corporate "personhood" "Stop funding war. Start funding education" "End corporate gangster activity" So the real issue is not "what" to do about "it;" but rather "how" to accomplish that which we all know needs doing. Step one - put these issues on peoples screens. The occupy movement is accomplishing this. Step two - educate, inform, discuss Step three - Apply pressure to government officials: through numbers, petitions, votes, et al Step four - remove the "evil doers." and install those who "care" about "we the people."
