What ever happened to “we the people”? Im coming to find out, just today oct the 27th how fucked up the situation is on the U.S, with the occupation of wall street and all. I use to think that the U.S was ruled by a president elected by the people, i used to be certain that the congress was also filled by people elected by the regular, hard-working citizen. I was convinced that democracy was the way to go in the U.S It`s hard to believe how wrong i was over the years. The goverment, the public servers that u, the average U.S citizen voted to represent ur interests, the very people u trusted the political decissions always sure that the will putt he people best interests first are now witnessing a protest like no protest ever seen in the last couple dozens of years. A protest against THEM, against the way THEY simply choose to overlook the needs of the citizens and opted to work for the big companies. So… who is really in charge here? “we the people” or “we the influential, the powerful, the resourceful… we the suits”? In my understanding the protesters are trying to get the goverment make laws against the advantages of the big companies. That jeopardizes the system in wich the goverment Works nowadays… true change can only be achieved by true action. That is one thing history has always made very clear. If my math is o.k 99 is bigger tan 1. the 99% could easily crush the 1%. To achieve change, revolution is required. To achieve revolution, action is required. To achieve action, courage is required. Courage u already have people, use it. dajockster@hotmail.com

But you have to actually have all those people in agreement for a revolution. The majority of American citizens are not miserable, nor are their neighbors. We are happy. That's the biggest cog in the wheel of this revolution. People in this country are not suffering.
