There are local opportunities to network and gain supporters who are tired of the corruption within their ranks and feel as Colin Powell about the Protesters being as American as Apple Pie.The best thing to do is go to meetings like the Commonwealth Club on Dec 8th in San Francisco at the NEWCOMERS meeting and just hang out and understand how they think and network. WE are all Americans and it seems have similar needs and desires. Finding a subject to agree on is a great disarming technique too .Eventually one will see the GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY and you will hardly miss it because you will have worked for and had patience  for that moment when the  impact would be immense to any action.Active listening can bring you audiences.Disarming techniques that are humorous but not tacky if not overused WORK and are great ice breakers.YELLING and Being disruptive hardly works as well as kindness.The THUGS who have arrived to just start trouble with cops at any protest any where and have weapons  need to LEAVE Go home before you lose it. WE Do not need violence Sticking to PRINCIPLES that Martin Luther King Jr would approve of for protests works.he would approve of DISRUPTION if the Parties are that HEINOUS in their Own Social interactions and Acts upon mankind . "Peace is not Merely a distant goal but a means in which we arrive at that goal." Occupy America, Occupy The Planet PEACE Yelling and Acting a FOOL in front of a crowd does not gain supporters.
