Grassroots occupiers crowd-fund over $6,000 to pay corporations for television ad space.

It’s sort of an occupied version of advertising. It’s about occupying ad space with what citizens think is important for the country.

Pepper spray and protests are not the only public disturbance. The occupy movement, the protesting…is it distracting the American Public?

Your turn to determine what’s trending

• Be a voter – America has a voting system. Learn how to navigate it like the “1%” does.
• Become self sufficient – start a small garden in your backyard or apartment. Everything you need to know about how to grow your own food can be found on the internet, in a book store, in a library, or from your neighbor.
• Introduce yourself to everyone – Don’t be in competition with your neighbor. Share resources. Life is good when you have shoulders to lean on.
• Buy local – Shop at businesses that exist to help a family survive while at the same time play a positive role in the community. Give your money to the 99%.
• Start a business – Don’t be discouraged by the idea of running your own business. You don’t need a lot of clients in order to sustain yourself from a small business. Usually all you need are your closest friends and family to be your first happy customers and the business grows from there.
• Utilize the internet, while it’s still here – Use the web to organize events and connect with your community. You never know how the internet is going to evolve; it’s only a baby. With internet censorship being voted on right now we may see a drastic change in the way we surf the web.
