This Occupy movement is growing across the country with folks in cities everywhere. Why not show your support for the cause and introduce folks to e-cigs at the same time.

For those who don't know, the Occupy WallStreet Movement started when a group of people got together and decided they would protest the heavy involvement of Corporate America on our Government, Laws and Lives. On Sept 17th they met at WallStreet to protest by occupying the area with peaceful demonstrations. Now, weeks have passed and the movement is growing with more people showing up to support the cause every weekend. 10's of thousands of people. This may actually turn into The New American Revolution many people including myself believe is wanted and needed in this country.

Occupy " Your City Here" websites are popping up all over the internet encouraging people to occupy thier local town squares and government areas to protest. There are new chapters in Los Angeles, Chicargo , Boston, New Orleans just to name a few examples.

If this movement is actually able to get positive change accomplished it may be a very good thing for e-cig users everywhere. It would help lessen the influence of Big Pharma on the FDA and it's intrusion into our lives.

I think this would be a great opportunity if you agree with this cause to show your support and show off your e-cig, pass out EFC business cards, CASAA flyers etc.

Note: This is a bi-partisan movement made up of all peoples in America no matter what political, religious, ethnic. etc affiliation they belong to. The single goal seems to be
Occupy WallStreet or Occupy Your City Here, is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% (http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/) that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%.

I really don't think that we should associate E-cigs with people that trash our cities, disrupt traffic and commerce. We need to be seen as responsable adults not whining children throwing a temper tantrum.

I fully support occupy. It has acctually spread around the world. you would think all ecig users would support it since it is about goverments trampling on our rights and freedoms as well as well as big corporate and the rich pretty much owning our government. in spite of some people actually quiting their jobs to protest you don't really have to go that far.

That's a good point. You need to keep this issue as bipartisian as possible if you want to get the word out. If not, you alienate 1/2 the members and potential vapers who may otherwise support/donate and prevents getting the word getting out to everyone.

It's not fair to lump all occupy supporters with the people who are making a mess. The initial movement was clean and tidy. It was only when it started to grow and change that the hippy types came along and started to trash the place. What happened is different factions jumped on the bandwagon to promote their own agenda under the occupy wall street battle-cry.

The problem is that the initial occupy wall street people did not see this coming and made no provisions to enforce order and cleanliness or to separate itself from the others. I suppose they felt having strength in numbers ( even if they did not all agree what the agenda was) would be better than not having them. Now most people perceive it as one big melting pot with no clear distinction made as to who really is occupy wall street and who isn't.
