the following is a Comment from a 'Signer'.. i thought it was so well written it should be posted here... .." If I walked into a bank and held it up at gunpoint, I would go to jail. If I ran a business and charged customers for a service I then refuse to provide, the courts would hold me liable for stealing customer's assets. Example? Health care insurance companies who charge outrageous premiums only to refuse customers access to the benefits they've paid for. Our tax dollars directly subsidize corporations who are given billions of dollars to develop jobs in American only to take our tax to dollars to develop offshore jobs (not to mention a plethora of other tax subsidies). Our banks stole people's homes through illegal actions and yet elected official continue to allow the banks to rape us blind. Despite the laws of supply and demand, Wall Street artificial inflates the value of oil despite less demand, generates obscene profits for oil investors at the expense of working class people who need to feed their families. I'd prefer the corporations and the political bedfellows stand at the gas pumps and just let me put my hard earn dollars directly into their pockets. At least then I get to look the thieves in the eye. They have no ethics and no shame..."
Bravo!

This is more important than ever... Thank you to all who have signed, and to all who have sent the link around the World.
I recently had a 'conversation' with a retired Space Coast Program Director for the shuttles at the Kennedy Space Center in FL. She wanted to know How the OWS was going to change anything without a Point, or leader... ?
I replied... .. The PEOPLE Are Speaking. By the Very presence of Hundreds of thousands around the Cities of America, and in other Countries, they are Saying a great Deal... ...There are Too many crimes and illegal abuses of the laws Broken.. Too many involved and Victimized.. that,.. How could there Be a single Demand?.. So.... What is happening is this.. The People HAVE Spoken, ARE Speaking.. it's time now.... For the Crooks and Politicians to begin ANSWERING!
We are Facing them dead on in this together... They are the ones now that need to Talk.. To Tell US what they are going to do to work towards the Solutions. We are Holding them Accountable now.. THEY need to Speak up and ANSWER the 99%
It's as simple as that. The next time someone says..'They dont have a leader, or a demand list.. you Tell them WE Have Spoken.. and we are Waiting for the Right Answers!
