How to join Occupy Wall Street protest?

Although I do not favor marches and demonstrations I do have to say I admire and appreciate what these people are doing. Our political system has become such a mess in the past ten years that it is impossible to expect them to do anything. The Republicans would rather see us go through another couple years of the same mess Bush left us in rather than do anything to help fix America. They will not allow the Obama Administration to do anything that may appear to help us out!

The Wall Street 99s are putting pressure on Wall Street and their political puppets to try forcing a change in the financial habits of Wall Street that put the wealthy above all else. For too long the wealthy have dictated government procedures that favor their own profit making over the best interests of America. For 8 years the Bush Administration allowed them to do as they wanted feeling they were bug enough and capable enough of handling business without any government oversight; we can see where that got us. The Republicans in the Senate and Congress are still fighting to protect the wealthiest and the financial market CEOs who at the cost of the working Americans are becoming richer by the day and the working class (if they had jobs) are getting poorer.

The Republicans are doing what they can to see no jobs are created. The 99ers are pushing for Wall Street to loosen up with money so jobs can be created. Until the Republicans stop their negativism and their efforts to create failure in Washington we will not see any improvements in our society.

The 99ers are working to see that what the Republicans are obstructing in Washington will be changed by the citizen on the street.

They're a bunch of hippies/liberals. I'm sure THEY don't even know what they're doing, but they were at my Capitol building this morning. The signs had things like, "Pay your taxes rich people" and things of the sort on them.

The thing is, rich people pay MOST of the taxes. Anyways, the ones on Wall Street basically say the same things, plus complain about the mortgage crisis. One guy… Esteban Vasquez, I think, said something like, "We don't even get paid enough to pay for our houses, so they shouldn't be kicking people out…".

It was something like that. That's what it's "responding" to. Another problem: in order to pay for a house, go to school, get a job, THEN buy something you CAN afford.

Look up "Woodstock". Wall Street is a lot like that.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
