Since we're in Texas, you can't really expect the Occupy groups here to be as big and evolved as groups in New York, Los Angeles, etc, where change-minded coalitions already existed in large numbers prior to this movement.

It's actually "Because we're in Texas", but my larger point is WHAT!!!!!!

Occupy Houston can't be expected to be as large and coherent of a group???????  Wait, YOU ARE ONLY IN THE 4TH LARGEST CITY IN THE US????  What are you waiting for?

Or perhaps it is a reflection that, like most of the south, the population is more right-leaning, and despite being in a major metropolis, there really isn't as much lefty-looniness as you filthy hippies would like!

Love that you're anxious and impatient for change though... I do feel the same way.

This morning, for instance, I look to see what OH is doing and where. I can read some too-short-to-be-helpful minutes from a meeting four days ago. Oh, and I can also read about a delightful Halloween event two days plus from now. That's it?  Please. How much work would it take to have an ongoing box, day by day, that says, basically, "Occupy Houston is centered at such and such a location today, these are the events scheduled, here (in a sentence or two) is how you can participate and support in those events.  Add to that, "here are the addresses and the closest bus stops/train stops if you plan to arrive."

Oakland is trying to deal with terrible problems of which, I trust, most in the movement here are aware. Other locations face problems and challenges and are *doing* something. Here? Why, there was a meeting four days ago and, in two days, it's Halloween.  Wheeee!

Make use of the tools that are open to you. The Net, Twitter, FB, etc. Whoever is allegedly taking the responsibility to inform the people for whom Occupy Houston is vital need to either get out of the way or get to work as if their work matters.
