I never gave you permission to speak for me, nor do I recall any election giving you the right to represent me. I am an individual with my own voice. If I have a problem, I'll speak for myself. Please change all your signs to read "99% (except for TimS)". Thank you for your cooperation on this delicate matter.
Dear TimS, It is a gross misunderstanding of the protests to think they are trying to represent you or anyone else. The protests are in response to the lack of representation 99% of americans have. It sounds like you would like your voice to be heard when there is a problem you want addressed. Unless you can afford your own lobbyist, the current system will not allow you to be heard. The Occupy movements across the country want you to be heard. The question is, "Do you want to be heard?"
