a brief comment<\/a>), so perhaps I should do so quickly here, where it’s likely to catch a few more Occupied eyeballs.<\/p>\nI offer the following simple “demand” for consideration by OWS, as this one likely underscores almost every other. Or, at least, without it, all other demands may ultimately be rendered moot.<\/p>\n
Here it is. One demand that seems<\/i> simple enough — and is as non-partisan as can — for your consideration:<\/p>\nEvery U.S. citizen 18 years of age or older who wishes to vote, gets to vote. Period. Those votes, on hand-marked paper ballots, will be counted publicly, by hand, on Election Night, at the precinct, in front of all observers and video cameras.<\/b><\/div>\nPlease help spread this to the Occupiers if you agree its important. For example, Tweet it (or a link to this article) like mad (with #ows in the text), and\/or spread it via Facebook and\/or print it out and take it to a General Assembly at an Occupation near you!<\/p>\n

The great patriots comprising Occupy Wall Street demonstrations across the nation hardly need my input on the “demands” they continue to try and narrow down and achieve consensus on. I’m quite sure they’ve got more than enough folks out there making their case for all manner of “demands” given the past 30 years (or more) of utter neglect, corruption and abuse the good citizens of this nation have otherwise been forced — up until now — to accept as “politics as usual.”<\/p>\n
