I have watched and applauded the bravery and solidarity of the 99er movement, and see a hard battle ahead, but a battle that will be won. I was a machinist, injured on the job, then tossed aside like a used beer can. My family and I are barely afloat, but determined. I believe the solution to cutting the power of Wall street and the 1% is for ALL Americans to stop buying, using or paying for any goods or services that have been made, assembled or produced in China, Mexico or India. If we stop purchasing, using and/ or maintaining payments to these outsourced goods and services it will seriously bite into the profits of Wall Street and the 1%er's. I mean we won't be in any more debt than they have already put us. Buying only American Made products and services will at least go a long way towards insuring that the money will be recirculated within our own communities and not in foreign lands. I wish there was a movement close to where I live, but I live in a very rural area, at least a 100 miles from the nearest gathering as far as I have discovered. But I just want to let all who have the chance to read this know I am proud to call you my neighbor and compatriot. Though I am Native American and truly have no religion I still offer the deeply held benediction: God Bless America and All Who Love Her For Her True Meaning: Freedom, Equality and Justice.
