NO! - With no Habeas Corpus, The NDAA, and the new "Anti-Protest" Law (HR347) - OWS will be weaker than before.

From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
I have been waiting for the public to gather and protest for ten years now. In the 60's we stopped a war. I wondered if there were any people with ideals and the guts to get behind them in this era. Glad to see it.
I think OWS will come back stronger. I've beeen involved in anti-war demonstrations the past 10 plus years and it seemed that the public was becoming more favorable to our cause over time. Hopefully we'll see the same thing happen with OWS.
It is happening! And the police riot in NYC shows how frightened the oligarchs are of our determination!
We The 99% and all who support and occupy in protest against Corporate Democracy will continue our plight with strength in numder and spirit.
Nazi/Draconian laws will not stop us.
Much like men who marched on the Salt Mines in India in protest against belligerent British Occupation...
WE WILL PREVAIL OVER BELLIGERENT CORPORATE GREED, POWER, FRAUD.

I subscribe to Washington Post and a few others online and when I read and comment on some of their stories or commentaries, I am just absolutely astounded at the ignorance of people who actually buy into what the far right is selling? I was going back and forth a few minutes ago regarding the story of Paul Ryan's new budget plan which would cut food stamps, SS, Medicare, etc. and these people think he's just great. I think these are people who haven't felt the pain yet, but there day will come. I haven't felt the pain myself, but if my SS benefit is cut, I will. But, I feel the pain of others and know of some firsthand.
Here in Canada, we will have a national day of protest on Mayday. We are reclaiming Mayday-the communist celebration from Kraputalism. It will also be a nod to the Trekkies, who protested during the first Great Depression. They clung from the sides of trains, and even rode on top. They came from all over the nation to protest in Ottawa.
