Tell me what democracy looks like.
This is what democracy looks like.

I see a few things that need correction....

- "media will Ustream instead of live streaming."

=> Media will Livestream when possible, and Ustream all other events where power and laptop access are limited. Nonetheless there will always be some fashion of streaming.

- "Tri-fold handout had errors and the correct website is OCCUPYSAC.COM. Autumn and Sit-in person will correct"

=> I never said I had the ability to correct that, and OccupySac.org is the preferred domain name that we all agreed upon using at a past GA. .COM means Company...Occupy agreed in the beginning that we were an organization (this was whilst we were debating on becoming a 501(c)3 ).
