The funny thing is, we all have something in common with the OWS protestors.
All of us are just sitting around, for lack of a better plan. At least their plan is sitting around for a reason. We're just the commentators.
I vote in elections. I participate in ballot initiative and petition drives. I write my representatives. I make my opinions heard on numerous blogs, message boards, and I write letters to the editor of many major newspapers. Sorry, but I do more than just sit around, at home or at a park!
Do you know that most of the other OWS protests are on public land, like here in LA?

Unfortunately, that is the equivalent of "sitting around". What you're doing will accomplish nothing at the federal level.
You might be able to force your local convenience store to put in a handicapped ramp or something, but nothing will result from those actions at the federal level.

Actually, I have voted before. And many of the things and people I have voted for passed and got into office. And many of the legislation I have written my reps about have been passed.
