With an impromptu seminar!

Once again, the process seems very deep...

... and we can only hope that the process helps prevent the Ds from infiltrating and destroying the occupations, which is the role they are allotted in the two party system*; as DCBlogger points out, there was obviously a conference call.

NOTE See under hopey change and the fate of "Obama For America" after 2008, as well as the "put down your placard and pick up a clipboard," the successful D strategy to derail the Madison Occupations.

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Mahatma Gandhi

The occupiers I've been in contact with

Are well aware of what happened in WI, and have mentioned that specific outcome. In addition, I've posted on 3 FB pages this article, which addresses the very same issue.
