They should right now announce they are NOT OWS. And why did they not just join the movement, which certainly would welcome them?
The fact they are not joining the movement means they want to control what goes on. We've had enough of these partisan, organizations, including Move-on, who sold out for access in the end which is why I dropped them several years ago.
It would be nice if they came up with their own language and not try to confuse or trick and therefore take away, people from the actual movement.
If they do that, if they make it clear they are not OWS and change the language to reflect who they are, I would be happy to support them, even join them. But I hate these deceptions, and that is how I see it. And the fact that people are so confused, means it was deceptive.
