Thank you OWS for remembering the REST of us.

Thanks for waking us up from the deep sleep of consumerism and apathy. And a special thanks to those soldiers camping out on the frontlines of the war on tyranny.

[-] 2 points by DiMasciosBridge (170) from Washington, DC 12 years ago

Perfectly said! Thank you.

Thank you too.

Changing the conversation is the first step in a long journey.

As the conversation broadens, your focus will narrow.

You were birthed in the correct place at the correct time.

OccupyWallStreet!!!!!!

Congratulations for the boldness, smartness and cunning of the people! I hope one day my country arise against its corruption like you are doing at America! Cheers!

I find a simple thank you falls short of adequately expressing my gratitude for the courageousness & determination displayed by occupiers; nonetheless, I really am grateful and thank OWS anyway, for what it is worth.

[-] 1 points by DiMasciosBridge (170) from Washington, DC 12 years ago

Well thank YOU! And for what it's worth, (which is a lot), it does NOT fall short! I don't speak for anyone but myself, but the courageousness you speak about is really just fear. Fear that others will probably have to endure some of the same things I and many others like me have had to.

BTW, we...are...you. Those of us that physically occupy are equally as indebted to the great number of folks that either don't, or haven't yet. Thanks again!

I remember reading about a political science professor in Cairo saying something like, "if you would have told me five years ago that this was going to be the generation that brought democracy to Egypt, I would have laughed." The same for me almost, 'If you would have told me five MONTHS ago that this generation was going to bring so much positive change to this country, I too would have laughed.' I am so happy that we were both wrong.

Thank You OWS and never give up or settle for anything less than a sea change in the way we are treated by our government or the way we treat each other.

Thank you OWS for returning the language of income inequality to the national vocabulary, and thank you to this forum for providing me with a safe space to work out my political beliefs and for connecting me with like-minded individuals and sparring partners across the country.

Thank you OWS!

I would like to thank all those in NYC who ran the gauntlet of police and paid security forces to expose just how much freedom remains in America. I don't have the ability to express my gratitude and admiration. They will do everything they can to discredit us, but such courage is an inspiration for generations. They cannot take that away from you.

I second those words, and couldn't have said it better!

[-] 2 points by ithink (761) from York, PA 12 years ago

Thank you OWS. I am deeply grateful for those in the streets who continue to persevere. For all the brave souls who dare question the status quo and reclaim their voices. For those who have committed to occupying this forum. For those visionaries who seek to understand what tomorrow will be. And for all those who offer their support and willingness to this movement.

[-] 1 points by DiMasciosBridge (170) from Washington, DC 12 years ago

Thanks again OWS!!!

I appreciate some of the problems you have raised. Probably not quite what you were looking for but its as honest as I can be.

[-] 1 points by DiMasciosBridge (170) from Washington, DC 12 years ago

;)....That's fine. We're really just glad folks like you are interested enough to pay attention. As for the "problems", I like to think of them as...opportunities for solutions. Thanks.

[-] 1 points by kingscrossection (1203) 12 years ago

You're nice and positive. Opportunities for solutions. I like that:)

[-] 1 points by DiMasciosBridge (170) from Washington, DC 12 years ago

And you sound like a very nice person as well. Thanks for sharing and come back!

[-] 1 points by Saydee (33) 12 years ago

I'd like to say more than good luck, but Thank you as well!

I want to thank you for making this the record breaking sales for Christmas. All of our corporations did very well this year. Revenues were way up thanks to OWS.

[-] 2 points by DiMasciosBridge (170) from Washington, DC 12 years ago

You're welcome. Now you understand how EVERYBODY does better, (including the rich), when the majority, (99%) stand up and not only get involved, but STAY involved. Together, (you included), we ARE making a difference and the BEST IS YET TO COME! Thanks for signing up with OWS and thanks for listening.

(my comment went right over his head. he missed the part that NOBODY was paying attention to OWS and shutting down the ports and the economy)

[-] 1 points by DiMasciosBridge (170) from Washington, DC 12 years ago

That's ok. At least WE'RE paying attention right? And as for the ports...I guess we are making a difference. Thanks again!
