How to become pen pals with an actual 1 percenter!

[telemann.livejournal.com]

OWS has developed a a rather clever way to reach out and touch the 1 percent: by encouraging people that have lost their homes, job and lives to connect directly to the investment banks and their executives by listing dozens of executives' contact information (all nicely divided up by the bank they work for and their job title but with E-mail addresses blocked out). The wording is clever and silly, and the design is most extremely professional and elegant (if you're into graphic design like I am). The strategy is a good one (because it humanizes what happened by direct contact). But why not do something more productive by writing Congress, or use this web site as a launch-pin for voter registration information? Meanwhile, the 3rd edition of The Occupied Wall Street Journal has been printed and and available online.
