We\'re trying to get a good sized group together to move forward with.... a demands survey we did internally (and might want to expand to OA as a whole) as well as anything else other folks want to bring up. When can you meet? Here is a doodle poll, fill it out, and if you\'re not on the listserv, leave your email so we can make sure you get emailed. :-)

http://occupyatlanta.org/contact-communicate/activity/p/2639/ Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:47:06 +0000 SaraA posted an update in the group Demands, Goals, Visions I would like to work on a demand/resolution against corporate personhood, possibly based on the assertion that corporate personhood is a human rights violation because it undermines the rights of actual people. That was the basis of the artist\'s statement that accompanied our entry in the Visualize Human Rights art show:When the law recognizes corporations as people and grants them rights such as free speech, it undermines the rights of actual human beings. It gives more power to some over others; those who run the corporations not only have their due as individuals, but get double recognition and double power through their control of the corporate \"person.\" If the right to be recognized as a person before the law is to be preserved for human beings and applied justly, it must not be granted to corporations.

http://occupyatlanta.org/contact-communicate/activity/p/2467/ Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:40:53 +0000 cypherdivine posted an update in the group Demands, Goals, Visions Ten Point ProgramGhost Recon Committee, as a part of Occupy Atlanta has provided a “Ten Point Program” mimicking that of Ten Point Program of the Black Panther Party in the 60\'s. The Ten Point Program is basically a platform statement of desires or rather list of purposes of this movement. It is by no means exclusive nor is it an attempt to speak for the Occupy Atlanta movement as a whole. However, the Ten Point Program is a list of why the members of Ghost Recon Committee are a part of Occupy Atlanta.1. Freedom for all Americans to to determine their destiny according to the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness as dictated is afforded to all Americans under the Declaration of Independence as sovereign independent citizens.
2. Full employment for all Americans that desire it and the means to create their own ventures. Ending of NAFTA, GATT, and the SPP.
3. Decent, affordable housing.
4. A relevant affordable education consisting of more skills-building
5. Health care that deals with prevention rather than management
6. A rescinding of the Patriot Act and all provisions and legislation that have resulted from it
7. End of the private prison industrial complex and reform of the criminal justice system
8. End of all wars of aggression, selective foreign aid, sanctions, etc. Retroactive indictments of all politicians and city, state, and federal officials that have aided and abetted in the erosion of this country in terms of violating their oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution
9. Removal of all GMOs and knowingly harmful chemical agents in food, water, air and vaccines
10. Reform of tax code. Removal of all unconstitutional revenue streams such as property taxes and elimination of bureaucratic licensing fees and permits.

I have a vision that one day, we will all be Leaders for each other. When other people fail us, when we’re let down and disappointed, we’ll rise up as a leader. We won\'t grumble, complain or walk away; we will lead. One of the most important aspects of being a leader is encouraging and inspiring others… When people fail us, we forget we are leaders too. One day, we will all be leaders!

http://occupyatlanta.org/contact-communicate/activity/p/1902/ Mon, 05 Dec 2011 04:36:30 +0000 Joshua Yoder posted an update in the group Demands, Goals, Visions I would like to see a handful of clearly defined policy demands on the national level that all Occupy movements could hopefully sign off on to create solidarity and focus:1. Demand the removal of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke for giving $7.7 trillion to banks without the knowledge or approval of the American people. If this was legal, then we need a very simple law put in place to prevent it from happening again. If he did break an existing law, then we need to demand prosecution. Of all things I would think this would garner support from even the hardcore Right.2. Demand Congress repeal the Bush era tax cuts. This would create tension with the hardcore Right, but I think could get enough popular support to get 50%+ in national polls, which would be enough to put it back into serious consideration for Congress. Plus its a simple single issue demand that can help identify the Occupy movement nationally.3. To help break the two-party stalemate, we should demand an instant-runoff voting system, or something similar.There are many other things to do but I think these three are basic enough for the Occupy movement to put out some concrete policy demands.
