New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, billionaire (roughly $18 billion) and 13th richest person in the United States, announced a few days ago that the Wall Street occupiers needed to leave for a few days so that the park could be “cleaned”. Brookfield Properties, the owner of the park, said the park had become unsanitary since the occupation began so it needed to be power washed. Ok, fair enough on the park needing to be cleaned.

Up until now the so far 10 day strong Occupy Wall Street has somewhat been directionless to a degree as no specific demands were voiced. Even some participants started to ask what it was they were demonstrating for specifically. The operating direction thus far has been to occupy and that demands would follow later. Welcome to later. Coupmedia.org is playing host to the official directive for creating the demands. Suggestions are being taken from the people for inclusion in the list to be voted on by all. At the moment there are 22 items being voted on. Leading the way...
