A well-known Washington lobbying firm with links to the financial industry has proposed an
$850,000 plan to take on Occupy Wall Street and politicians who might express sympathy for the
protests, according to a memo obtained by the MSNBC program “Up w/ Chris
Hayes.”
The proposal was written on the letterhead of the lobbying firm Clark Lytle Geduldig &
Cranford and addressed to one of CLGC’s clients, the American Bankers
Association.
CLGC’s memo proposes that the ABA pay CLGC $850,000 to conduct “opposition research” on Occupy Wall Street in order to construct
“negative narratives” about the protests and allied politicians. The memo also
asserts that Democratic victories in 2012 would be detrimental for Wall Street
and targets specific races in which it says Wall Street would benefit by
electing Republicans instead.
According to the memo, if Democrats embrace OWS, “This would mean more than just
short-term political discomfort for Wall Street. … It has the potential to have
very long-lasting political, policy and financial impacts on the companies in
the center of the bullseye
Who should be in OWS' bullseye?
Should OWS be "naming" those at the heart of the plutonomy? Naming their acts? Marching past the offices and houses of these folk "outing" them with truth and facts laid out on placards?
I think OWS should launch a truth campaign not justthe fcats about the conditions in which we the 99% are caught..but the truth about the key players who put us there and keep us there.; the truth about who serves them in Congress and on the Supreme Court.
