Brief interview including EIGHT DEMANDS
Rev. Jesse Jackson
Excerpts:
“We have so much room to fight, that we must not fight each other.
We can learn from each other how to best organize, but let’s not get carried away with our perfect strategies.
All our ideas have to find common ground for us to win.
We all want to end corporate greed
We all want to end corporations as a person with a vote
We all want to end voter suppresion
We all want to end student loan exploitation
We all want to end unnecessary, expensive war
We all want to wipe out malnutrition without wiping out the malnourished
We all want women’s rights to self-determination
We all want racial justice and gender equality
--Now y’all, that’s a lot to grill. So for one thing, right now, let’s keep Occupy so big that it can’t be ignored! Occupy streets, jail cells, voter booths!”

Rocky Anderson forms Justice Party, plans to run for president
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705395124/Rocky-Anderson-forms-Justice-Party-plans-to-run-for-president.html?pg=1excerpt: “[Rocky]...Anderson sees [the Justice Party] as a grassroots movement that over the long term will bring about the shift in American politics that he says citizens crave..."[The people] want to see an alternative party. They recognize that these two militarist, corporatist parties have brought us to this disastrous place to where we are today."
One of Utah's most liberal politicians, Anderson renounced his affiliation with the Democratic Party in August, saying he was fed up with it along with Congress, the Obama administration and Republicans. He reiterated that disgust during the interview.
"We've been voting as a nation against our own interests year after year," he said. "Most Americans — whether they consider themselves on the right, left, center, whatever — understand that their interests have been undermined by these folks in Washington, both in the White House and in Congress, who are acting as if they're on retainer with their largest campaign contributors rather than doing what's in the public's interest."
