<p>Count me in. I need to continue to be told the ways in which I can participate and contribute. In this climate of EVERYONE having hands in the till, I need endorsement by the people I trust in this, which includes Michael Moore and Dylan Ratigan. Thank you. I'll keep watching and doing what I can to make sure this movement keeps moving forward until completion.</p>

<p>Attention is once again growing around the experiment this document represents:</p>

We are providing a global forum for #Occupy conversations re: issues that matter most both online and via live interactive conference calls. In a radio interview last week with an Australian program, we acknowledged how the issues are global, the players are global and the momentum driving this movement is a universal upwelling of a reclamation of human dignity.</p>

<p>An excellent point to post on the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nycga.net/">New York City General Assembly web site</a> which is where I found this document. I suggest overlooking the © and take collective ownership, occupy it like a public domain. </p>
<p>I take the spirit in which this Declaration was offered to be a challenge to create a viable solution to strip away the tangled and obfuscated web of subterfuge that has become the "law" of our land. </p>

<p>I took another look at the Declaration and found a fatal flaw: "Copyright 2011 by Michael S. Pollok"</p>
<p>How can someone who claims to speak for the decentralized, leaderless #OWS movement, and who opens his Declaration with a quote from Thomas Jefferson (who believed that ideas are the one thing that cannot be exclusively owned), and who offers a prescription for general nation-wide adoption claim personal ownership at the start of the process?</p>

<p>It's a rather comprehensive set of policy corrections, but it puts a great deal of faith in the power of the ballot and the potential for effective independent party campaigns.</p>
