Occupy Wall Street is a noble but misguided waste of time because it is a protest against too many issues with no specific action item.

OWS needs a single focus that is actionable. Whereas the Tea Party rallied against taxes, OWS is all over the place. Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are railing against corporate greed, global warming and social inequality, among other grievances. Too many issues and too generalized. Any movement to be successful, it requires a single focus for everyone to get behind it.

It has to be more specific than "corporate greed" because you can't act on that. Instead of corporate greed, demand higher taxes or a constitutional amendment to restrict corporate campaign contribution. Don't waste the momentum.

Dear Mr. President. Middle class Americans are not hostages. We may not be doing well but we understand that to stand on our principles, we need to make sacrifices. Mr. President, we don't need your protection, we need your leadership.

Times are tough but we, middle class Americans, can still get by. Yes, the extension of the tax cut would be nice but if the price is our principles, then it is too high. Republicans have shown unwillingness to work with you from day one. While we may disagree with their ideas and their principles, at least they stood their ground.

Mr. President, this is not community organizing anymore. It is time you lead and charge with the vigor and determination that you have shown in your campaign. Support the Democratic leadership and stand up to the Republicans. There will be no better opportunity than this to stand on the moral high ground and shout why the fuck are you holding 98% hostage

Hey Julian Assange. If you love "total transparency" so much, why don't you also release all the Wikileak internal emails. Tell us who finance your operation? Tel us where did you get all your leaks from? Total transparency right? Or that doesn't apply to you?

Guess what? Wikileak needs to operate in complete secrecy in order to do what it does. But somehow, governments and corporations are expected to be 100% transparent? Notice how if you apply the standard to yourself, things don't work so well then? You see why organizations need secrecy?
