Occupy Atlanta, which in recent days has seen its relationship with Mayor Kasim Reed turn sour, says it's turning its attention this afternoon to David and Charles Koch, the two brothers who lead Koch Industries, a multi-national company with interests in everything from paper towels to oil pipelines — and are considered major patrons of conservative causes.
Georgia-Pacific is owned by Koch Industries and headquartered along Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta. From an Occupy Atlanta press release detailing the Koch brothers' contributions to conservative groups and politicians, including Gov. Nathan Deal:
We demand that the Koch brothers withdraw all of their money from politics by 5:30pm on Tuesday October 25th. If they do not capitulate we will levitate the Georgia Pacific building where they do their business. Capitulation or levitation? The choice is theirs.

Anybody in the area feel free to join. If you don't agree with the OATL/OWS movement, I'm sure you still dislike the Koch Bros.

See.... this is the kind of response to these protests that is just pathetic.
Big Union and groups like ActBlue (of which George Soros is a huge donor) push Democrats to the extreme Left, a position the American public has steadfastly rejected time after time.
If Liberals are aghast by the influence they claim the Koch brothers have why are they also not upset by how much more money flows into their party than to the Republicans by ActBlue, SEIU, and the American Federation of Teachers?
Because their money helps them get the right message out, that’s why.
Common Cause and its allies see a more sinister agenda. They’ll be shouting outside — and in at least one case, from above. Greenpeace has chartered a blimp emblazoned with the words “dirty money” to fly over the conference. Read more: dailycaller.com...

LOL! I know.
It's almost time for the magic trick. Is there a link to a live feed?
Is David Copperfield or Chris Angel going to be assisting?
But, seriously.
Is this their actual demand or did cointelpro make this up just to make people believe that the protesters are completely stupid wording their demand in this way?
Occupy Atlanta describe their plan to ‘levitate’ the Georgia-Pacific building as “an ode to the anti-war demonstrations of the 1960s.” At a famous 1967 rally of more than 50,00o Vietnam war protesters at the Pentagon, the poet Allen Ginsberg and activist Abbie Hoffman led a group trying to use psychic powers to exorcise the Pentagon of its evil war-mongering spirits.

I was baffled as well, so I had to go look it up.

They better start chanting "light as a feather, stiff as a board" right now if it's going to work!

Abbie Hoffman was a self-identified Jewish Road Warrior, anarcho-communist, social and political activist in the United States, co-founder of the Youth International Party ("Yippies")
