It is the end of apathy, of helplessness, of hopelessness.
It is a statement mourning the death of compassion, the loss of dignity and of fundamental rights.
It is a call for sanity, for justice, for a right to believe again.
Its leaders are all who feel the pain.
Its list of grievances are on the faces of those forgotten and cast aside.
Its demands are for those in power to stop looking away.
Its purpose is real.
Its cause is right.
Its moment is now.
Yes! And we could use a few more posts like this one.
This forum seems to get over run with posts and comments from the brain dead.

Hooray for the movement. It is growing. Stop the activist Suprement Court. Corporations are not people. Corporations will be accepted as people the moment Texas executes one.
99% of the population jumped into the fray? 99% of the population is watching on TV or online and trying to figure out what solution, if any, is being offered
I for one, have lost interest in the Presidential race, the election 2012. This movement has inspired me to see that it doesn't really matter who is President. My only focus is what goes on in the general assembly of the movement, the process that is on-going, and the pride I feel for the 99% of the citizenry that have jumped into the fray with gusto. It sounds more and more, hearing interviews of the occupiers, all over the nation, that the same theme is throughout, representation of the 99% of us that have no representation in government, and those that brought down the world economy be punished, and the banking industry is regulated.
99% of the population does not = 99% of the vote
Remember we have the 99% of the vote. We need to get a President that will not sell out too the Banksters. Kenysian Economics does not work. It all started with Reagan.
I have no idea which economic systems will work. But I do know that any system can be made to fail due to greed and corruption. Maybe we should put the focus on people and not number systems. In other words we need leaders who are 'Service To Others' and not 'Service To Self'.
