What you see in the picture is a few people trying to gather attention in the way that they see fit. It's more than most of us are doing for the country. But, the movement itself has steadily increased in supporters and activists. They are occupying homes across the country and not letting the banks foreclose, they are moving into Washington and congress in January, they are headed to Manning's trial to protest his detainment, there are planned protests of the new Defense bill signed by Obama, and the list goes on and on. Stop reading the mainstream press and take a look at what's actually being done, not at what's being spun and ignored.
