Go to this page, you can also read a copy of the actual resolution, which is pretty cool and clearly outlines the "principles" of the Occupy movement, and how and why the City of Cleveland supports those principles.

Cleveland City Council Passes Emergency Resolution Endorsing #OWS, Calls on Prosecution of Big Banks

This is the type of local, municipal leadership that has the potential, over time, to create policy changes on a grand scale. Read this and smile broadly:

Could not think of a more appropriate city to lead the Occupy Movement.

Did Detroit turn it down?

Nobody wants to "eliminate big banks"

"Prosecute the big banks" ? You bet! And prosecute the small banks that also break the law with illegal foreclosures and illegal lending practices.

That will leave the banks that work within the law to make those loans.
