Clips Round-up for 10/5/11
Yesterday, we launched http://www.occupydemocracy.org/. In our statement in support of the Occupy Wall Street protests, we wrote: "In addition to occupying Wall Street, we need to occupy democracy. In a democracy occupied by everyday people, big donors and corporate special interests wouldn’t drown out the voices of the rest of us." Follow us (and join in!) on Twitter today with the hashtag #occupydemocracy.
