The Occupy Atlanta folks have three new demands! They really seem completely seperated from the rest of the movement, I have to say. Listed inside.

1. Resending of recent MARTA fare hikes
2. Demand end to APD stop and frisk policies
3. Repeal of the GA Immigration Policy (that mirrors Arizona's)

Yeah, completely off message.

Providence did something actually funny today: marched to the downtown BofA branch and collectively closed all their accounts. -- (link) - TFox Oct 17, 14:07
how can they be off message when there is no one message to be on? - znufrii Oct 17, 14:04 4
- I'm calling bullshit on that. Their message has been pretty clear since about the 2nd day. -- nm - Trish Oct 17, 14:09
- But there does seem to a central message, and it needs to be solidified stat before this whole things fades to pointlessness. -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 14:05 1
  - I think the debate of whether or not to coalesce around specific demands is facsinating - znufrii Oct 17, 14:09
- Well, I say off message as those demands are very far removed from the 99% concept. Maaaaybe the MARTA one is slightly related. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:04
4. Immediately giving the nickname 'Hot-lanta' a rest already. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 17, 14:02 4
- Lol. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 17, 14:05
- It's 84 degrees today in HotLanta, I believe tying a record high! -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:04
- A cause we can all get behind. -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 14:03 1
  - We are the 100%! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 17, 14:04
