Text for Flyers etc

I know this came up at the meeting,
But I think it may be good for us to be super careful that any expression of what the movement is about specifically come from the GA. I don't want to get into the mire of accidentally deciding it because we are simply being proactive about explaining our ideas.

I think a great way to word it could be an invite to add their ideas to the list:

ie Have some common 'grievances' and then in large letters say something like:
'What do YOU want from YOUR government?'
(or maybe govt is the wrong word i dunno)

'stand up, speak out, thats what occupy is all about'

To me, it seems this may be a lot more inclusive and immediately engaging than an existing list that seems comprehensive, and that people have to decide whether or not they agree with.

Although I entirely agree there needs to be some point of initial reference.

Thoughts?

Also I am of the camp that it is more empowering to talk about 'suggestions' than grievances or what you do want, rather than what you don't want.

It makes people tend to dream instead of focus on anger.

sometimes its clunky to have to word in the affirmative though and maybe its more difficult for short flyer statements

..but thats just a tiny aside point
