specifically what I'm looking for: Does it seem reasonable? Realistic? Does the beginning build appropriately to the conclusion? I'm pretty satisfied with it overall, and at the very least I feel like it's a lot more coherent, cognizant, and inspirational than anything else I've read yet...the only thing is that at this point I'm questioning whether it's really the smartest demand to make. The other option that I can think of is demanding the implementation of a millionaire surtax (basically just rolling back the tax cuts, which the Job Act would do anyways) as well as substantially increasing the capital gains tax...Obviously these would just be the very first steps on the way to bigger and more drastic measures, but I worry than unless the growing movement is able to unite and find its voice over a first demand (and furthermore pursue that first demand to a first victory) then we're going to blow this opportunity...and I feel like given the current conditions of the moment, these two demands are the most potentially achievable... 

 don't have much of a plan beyond getting a few hundred copies of this made up and passing them out down at OWS next week, will probably add a bit.ly link and put the text online somewhere. 

anyways, any input would be appreciated, I feel like I'm working in a vaccuum and running up against a wall. 

Hope all is well, and as always, I'm looking forward to your next investigative announcement...

PS. sorry I haven't been able to be more involved in project PM. I'm continuing to have a difficult struggle with my health...and besides, my real strength is with words (or at least that's what I manage to convince myself sometime...) that said, if you ever have any specific tasks you need accomplished (beyond continuing to gather and correlate data re: project metal gear), don't hesitate to reach out to me
