There's a Legal Way to Replace Our Congress

It would be our second Constitutional Convention. The first one happened back in 1774 when our government system was designed. I think we should do it. We're clearly not getting anywhere letting them have their way, and things are getting desperate.

What do you think? Can you see a better way, given our circumstances? What do you think the outcome would be??

I know very little about politics so I try not to say. However lately I've been thinking about the #robinhood tax, which is being proposed by adbusters to be OWS's one demand. I'm potentially thinking of organizing a forum here at Yale for people who actually know about these things to discuss the implications of such a "tax." But grad school + family makes it difficult to be a revolutionary ;P

I understand. I spend more time considering how to treat a woman with PMS than I spend on the OWS movement. But so be it.
