Fund-raising drives work best when people are donating to meet specific targets (e.g. Obama Reelection, Ron Paul Money Bomb, Katrina victims, etc.). Therefore, I propose that Occupy Chicago begin a drive asking one million individuals to donate 99¢.  

Money raised would be used to purchase a permanent location to house the movement.  Hopefully, the movement could purchase a building in a symbolically important location (tied to Chicago's protest past or symbolically important to the 99%).

The fund-raising drive could be called, "99¢ for the 99%." Using the power of OccupyChi's Twitter/Facebook presence, as well as, enlisting the support of folks like Stewart/Colbert, can help raise awareness about the drive.  The goal seems lofty, but in a country of three hundred million people, one million must certainly support Occupy Chicago's efforts.
