I think the Occupy Fort Lauderdale only had a couple hundred people, too. Similar to the local tea parties. I remember when I was living in Annapolis, MD they made the tea party things seem big in local media but when I drove by it was a few people holding signs.
Too bad the movements can't find some common ground to stand on and move forward as a unified group.

There is no common ground.
The Tea Party wants low taxes, small government, capitalism, and freedom.
OWS wants high taxes and a nanny government and socialism. They decry white collar corruption, but they turn a blind eye to government corruption, especially if they are the beneficiaries of it.
