   This is what I am watching now, http://www.livestream.com/occupyaustin
   
   Wall Street got too far out there and it is getting bad publicity from all.
   
   This Occupy Austin site is a lot less stressful and they give you all the NEWS updates on other Occupy sites,
   
   If by chance you are a Facebook fan, you can CHAT at Occupy Austin site.
   
   Occupy Wall Street knocked Facebook CHAT off. Why, I don't know.
   
   The only reason I am posting this here is if there are any Facebook fans here, they now have a place to CHAT.
   
   We are the, 99%, and will not back down. We have a Government that is broken, a Congress that does not care about you, us, anymore, and, a Senate that can not make a decision. Good or bad, they just can't do it.
   
   So, the choice is yours. You can keep up with what is going on, or, just stay asleep.
   
   I am one of the 99%. What are you and what does your country mean to you.
   
   Your choice.

      Thanks, Olyhooch.
      It's pretty exciting, really.
      Identifying as one of the 99% seems to be a common ground that disenchanted, disgruntled, disenfranchised, disgusted and just plain mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore common folks from ALL walks of life (lefties, righties, centrists and everyone in between) can all rally around.
      I sure hope this movement wakes up the powers that be!

      This sounds dreadful, although not surprising. Why would Occupy Wall Street knock off one of their life lines? Two reasons spring to mind here. One: They didn't, and this is a classic example of internet censorship. Two: The  powers that be can  use this media to track and harass OWS protesters.  Either way, you have provided an alternative. I'm a UK citizen but one of the 99% also.

   Amen to you sir for sticking up for what you believe. I am a professional with a good job and salary and I am proud to call myself one of the 99%. Its been enough. Government needs to listen and listen know. There is no reason why Americans should be struggling they way we are. We are going to start looking and feeling like a third world country unless people freaking wake up and demand the changes from the government that are needed now......

      It's not just the Govt though is it? It's far more complex than that. The banksters and the Corps are able to gag and bully those in power, control many areas of the media and ultimately make or break politicians. However good the intention of a politician at the start of their career, they are ultimately constrained by the the "real power"

            Those that elected them are also, and always have been, those that get them out. Unfortunately for us however, we are still left with the banksters and the corps (the real problem) We have always voted the in and out, but when, have we ever taken on the real power mongers before?  The problem, is in part with govt, but the real problem is with the financial elite. They deserve the biggest kicking.

                  Yes, but I don't think the Government have enough power to squeeze the bankers and corps alone. They are more powerful than Governments. I think, of course, this is my humble opinion, that if we target the power (where power lies) it will be a lesson to any government, past or present, and sure to eventually gain govt support. If the people are truly behind govt then the govt will be so much braver. Lets get those banksters, they don't like attention.

   The powers that be are starting to show fear.  Their changing their statements, watching their words or attempting feel, felt and found.  Their playing with us, don't let them fool you.  They still hope this will all go away.  But it's too big now, too many people are realizing that our government is filled with obstructionists and criminals.  We have all just had it.  The only people that are not in favor of the movement are those that are in the 1% or are afraid of losing their jobs.  The later does not realize that they can be eliminated at any second.  I voted for Obama but he is doing the opposite of what he promissed.  If you or I did what these corporations did they would hang us.  Obama said he understands how we feel, (feel, felt. found) but the people in wall street are "necessary".  Obama was elected because he promissed the would take care of "main street".  He sold us down the river.  People in politics are bought and paid for by the corporate world.  They don't give a rat's ass what happens to their people.  We are just their captive slaves, here to do the work, fight their wars, and barely exist.  It's time there is a revolution in this country.  In the words of Anonymous, "we do not forgive, we do not forget".  Bring it on!
