I'm hearing that Democrats are looking to join the Occupy movement. I think that the movement should welcome every individual who wants to join. However, the Democratic Party as an organization is another matter. I'm a life-long Democrat, but this movement should not be co-opted by a political party. It is a movement of individuals. In my first post below I warned about big money buying the movement. The Democratic Party is big money, even though I agree with its principles for the most part.
Lets keep big money out of this movement and see what develops.

Hopeful Signs in the USA
This morning I have seen on the BBC news that the protests against Corporatocracy (Wall Street, Military Industrial Complex, Corporate Media, Big Pharma, etc.) is beginning to take hold in the USA. Hurrah for that! I am in full support of those protests. We are seeing similar protests here in Spain, but they appear not of have fully grasped the nature of their problem. They simply know they have a problem.
Now, watch out for the sell-out. As soon as a grassroots movement gets started in the US big money buys it and owns it. Watch out for the sell-out and keep telling your truth. The money will start coming in and tempt you to sell out, but stay clear. There are certainly more of us than there are of them!
