Protect the Commons. Affordability. Demand Accountability.
- user:qandnotq Wednesday, 10:28 am
I am proposing that we can organize all of our demands into the framework of Commons, Affordability, and Accountability.
Protecting the Commons includes government access, environmental preservation and improvements, infrastructure and internets, the Marketplace, and so on...
Affordability is the demand that Government Access (Courts), Loans (Education and Mortgages...), and Health Services and Cost of Living must stay Affordable if our country is to thrive. (This doesn't mean it has to be easy. Just possible, which it currently isn't for many people.)
Accountability is straighforward, but demands transparency and action on profiteering in economic times like these. It is broadly anti-corruption as well. I like the term Accountability better than Transparency since it's more about action than access.
Feel free to debate this, or to start aligning our interests under these banners.

I had written up my original post on this "Three-Tiered Vision" on a wiki page: http://occupyboston.wikispaces.com/ThreeTierVision
We should edit this into a shape we can present to a GA.

I agree. I will help, but feel that anyone can try to shape it into a strong, concise message. I almost feel that brainstorming on it is going to do wonders. I will move my discussion to the link you have.
