What Happened to OWS?

I remember hearing they would go away during the winter but would be back strong in the warmer months. Where are they, and if they are working underground, what are they doing to continue their cause?

Who cares?

It already served it's purpose and it's objections are now part of the national daily dialogue.

Occupy Wall Street Protesters Targeting Obama At Democratic Convention



A protest by any other name is still a protest. But not all protests are an occupation.

Two months after the major group planning to protest the Democratic National Convention changed its name, a new and bigger demonstration is being planned for the September event. This time, it's being led by "original" Occupy protesters.

Protest organizer John Penley, among the first to join the Occupy protests in Zuccotti Park, says some Occupy protesters were disturbed by the name change, which turned the "Coalition to Protest at the DNC" into the "Coalition to March on Wall Street South — Building People's Power During the DNC."

The change in nomenclature, he said, let Democrats off the hook.

And so despite the perception that Occupy is more liberal than it is conservative, Penley says his demonstration, "Occupy the Military Industrial Complex," will very much target President Barack Obama.

"We're targeting Obama's out of control military spending," he told Whispers. "It's the key to so many problems in the U.S. That, and the drone strikes on American citizens. And the NDAA. People feel so upset with Obama."

In 2011, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which sets the defense budget into law. Defense spending currently amounts to $685 billion a year.

Some 500 people have already RSVP-ed to a Facebook page for "Occupy the Military Industrial Complex."

And Penley, whose protester contacts stretch across the U.S., will likely get many more. In addition to being an original at the Occupy protests in Zuccotti Park, Penley is also an active antiwar protester, often participates in the ongoing Food Not Bombs demonstrations, and has photos of the 1990 May Day Riot featured in N.Y.U.'s Tamiment Library.

OWS and all of their spin off groups are rabid dogs that will bite the hands that are providing them with handouts. I can't wait to read the Libs response to this group getting arrested for demonstrating at the DNC.

Apparently they are equal opportunity protesters...

It appears they prefer protesting to actually accomplishing change by fielding candidates or lobbying Congress.

Did the 1968 RNC protesters field candidates or lobby Congress? I don't see much difference between them and OWS. Same group, different decade.
