The other day I was at the dentist and he had Fox Business News on (I kid you not). They have devoted at least half their programming to discussing how everyone at OWS is spoiled/dirty/treasonous/whatever.
So today I started a Tumblr
http://occupynotshiftlesshipsters.tumblr.com/
It is meant to be a simple collection of photos from protests around the country of the subset of those involved who are middle-aged, elderly and/or veterans. It is meant to show middle America that they can be a part of all this too.
There's a link for submissions - please send them in to shiftless@inbox.com, I'll post them as soon as I can.
And spread the word!
You are hearing such comments because the very ones that we are all protesting against are the same ones that own the news networks. Its the boss telling the worker what to say and do.
'Business news', of course they're against the OWS. Any form of degradation is a plus for them. I'll watch...
You're a genius.
So I've only gotten one submission so far. I think this could be really effective but I need the folks on the ground around the country to send stuff in if I can. Any ideas on how to get the word out?
