Creative Solutions Committee

[borderlesslove]

This committee was first proposed in the conception of the idea of committees.  Basically, this committee will work on developing projects in the future that can lead to successes in accomplishing our goals in reform, or meeting our demands

 

It is mostly understood that standing outside of the fed won't make politicians or corporations break and give into us, rather this movement is about gaining numbers, support, and activists.  Once we reach that point we need to take action.  To stay ahead of the game we need to start planning some of those projects now.

 

It will require a lot of creativity to take the best ideas from outside the box and complimenting them with the best methods inside the box.  It will require a great deal of collaboration, and communication, but out movement doesn't turn into a revolution without this aspect.  It required results and this is the think tank to get to those results.

Can we propose the formation of this committee? And then can we get to work soon?

I have a technology driven long term plan for organizing beyond the streets and then establishing a place for the 99% on the stage of power. There are a lot of us who think that protesting, while noble and meaningful and necessary, just is not enough. We need to leverage our protest and become more visible than the special interest lobbies. We need to celebrate our differences because it takes everyone but reach consensus and speak loudly. We want to be on the nightly news every night, just like the politicians. This won't happen overnight, but with commitment by all of us it will be bigger than Facebook. I think of Facebook as a toy, I think I offer us tools. Anybody interested?

I see creative solutions as a process,an extension of a number of committees,what may be needed is facetime between committees,with recurrent themes discussed and a creative solutions committee to work with any and all tools made accessible,high tech,low tech,new,old,in and out of the box.Each committee presenting a problem it needs solved,and addtionally this committee identifying basic and advanced problems that act as an impediment to our goals.When this committee reaches a solution or interim measure it presents the proposal to the committee it has worked for.
In this same mode direct action,outreach,organization and any committee that has to do with the formation of strategic planning and implementation should gather ,facetime,develop these strategies and them present them to all committees and vote on presentation to the G.A.At all cost principles before personalities and focusing on collective mutual interest as oppossed to individual positions,this is paramount.The truth of a thing is not based upon its genesis (source,who sais it)rather it is supported entirely by it in own internal merit.
