Both witness the corruption and failings of representative democracy. Both have a common drive to return power to the people. Constitutionalists are looking at a return to limited federal government, which is good. Some in Occupy Wall Street are exploring ideas of how to implement direct democracy, which is also good. Either way, the power will decentralize, and the individual will have a greater say in government.

It's nice to see both extremes aligning in this direction. This shows that the people have caught on to the problem, in fair unison, but are not in total alignment over the method, even though the methods are in the same direction.
