Instead of breaking laws may I suggest in addition to peaceful protests, spreading the word for anyone willing to simply empty or close their bank accounts in protest? There is no law against withdrawing your own money, and you’ll target the very people you’re angry at. They call it a “bank run” and its something banks fear more than anything.
They fear this because when a loan is given out, a bank doesn’t actually give you their own money for the loan. They give you the money in their vaults which would otherwise be sitting doing nothing. They literally give you other peoples money but expect you to pay THEM the interest! When a ban run occurs, the bank never has enough in its vault to give back to all the people who opened accounts with them… and they capsize.
The way I see it, is that this is a way for the people to demonstrate who owes who. Reverse the debt!
The banks own everyone and everything. I understand now that the global banking syndicate intends malevolent global domination and that they are close to achieving it. Sacrifices must be made to stop them, I suggest this method as a means of utterly shaking their power base at its core. They have methods to discourage bank runs like temporary account freezing, but they have nothing for a persistent organized effort to withdraw funds upon lift of a freeze.
For this idea to have any potency, others must know. Talk to your “Occupy” local leaders and friends. One drop will send ripples in the pond.
Reverse the Debt! For liberty,

Replacing Mayor Jean Quan will probably just give us Mayor Ignacio De La Fuente. We don’t want that. It would be like impeaching George W. Bush so that we could have Dick Cheney as the President.
Dudes – November 5th. Tomorrow. Close your bank account day. It’s been announced. I agree the violence sucks. The anarchists and Black Blocs need to go. The occupiers are not doing the violence. But the system isn’t going to change willingly. Unfortunately, that’s just a fact.Hey, But check out this video you probably haven’t seen. There’s not violence though so don’t get bored. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2CZZ0vhS8U
Agree- no violence. I found shirts that ask for Mayor Jane Quan to be recalled. http://www.cafepress.com/occupysf/8201203
