Forum Post: Are the OWS protesters the people they are warning us about?

I was beginning to believe in the OWS crowd. They certainly have some legitimate grievances; However, I am second guessing my support.

I was reading a Reuters news article this morning. It mentions some names of "rich people" that have donated money. Isn't this one of the "big problems" in America. Ie....political groups taking money from the "rich" (you know it has influence whether you will admit it or not).

Is this true? Has the 1% done it again? Tell me that the OWS group has not become the people they have been warning us about.

OWS is not a political group. We are politically neutral. We are made up of people from right to left.

We support no one as a group. And we, as far as i know, take all donations. Donations do NOT buy loyalty here. We are all independent thinkers that work as a collective( pure democracy).

We are not politicians, we are not corporations, we cannot be bought, we cannot be silenced, we cannot be contained.

You can give us your money, you can give us your praise, you can support us......

But if we find you are guilty of exploiting people for financial gain, if we find you bribe or accept bribes to gain money, power, or influence....

We will not support you, we will not praise you, we will bring you to justice, we will make sure you are punished.

We are the 99%, you cannot corrupt us, we are to many, you are only a few, you should be scared, you should be buying soap on a rope.

Any questions?

Revolutions are not all bloody - Remember the Industrial Revolution. Hopefully law enforcement will refrain from violence when they note that we are not violent. We are just taking a stand and asking for Revolutionary Change.
