Post photos. Let's get a little unification going...and nudge everyone here to remember whose side we're on.

1. Why "Occupy Wall Street" Makes Sense

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/sep/21/occupy-wall-street-amy-goodman



If 2,000 Tea Party activists descended on Wall Street, you would probably have an equal number of reporters there covering them. Yet 2,000 people did occupy Wall Street last Saturday. They weren't carrying the banner of the Tea Party, the Gadsden flag with its coiled snake and the threat "Don't Tread on Me". Yet their message was clear: "We are the 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%." They were there, mostly young, protesting the virtually unregulated speculation of Wall Street that caused the global financial meltdown.

6. It really pisses me off when people here are putting this down makes

me wonder how many are trolls...I really feel America has gone crazy..maybe it is something in our food..or the air...

[EFerrari]

9. Some people never support any protest for any reason.

Any challenge to authority, ever.

[AmBlue]

35. No it's a concerted and well-funded effort of a few old whiny baggers...

To make it *seem* we are out-numbered. We are NOT. We have the power of numbers on our side. It's THEIR job to distract US from that singular, devastating fact. Don't let 'em do it.

2. Accolades and Kudos to the folks in the street @ OccupyWallStreet

I'm unable to be there, but I support your cause in whole.

Way to go!! :applause: :woohoo:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

3. I am thrilled they are doing this --

and sad beyond belief I cannot be there with them. :cry:

4. Here's a site posting the latest from the protest:

5. Opening people eyes is never a bad thing.

[patrice]

7. I love them. Really. They are brave. Freedom is inspiring! They are so free that they obviously have

integrated into themselves a variety of what others think are mutually-exclusive perspectives.

This requires AUTHENTICITY, true courage, for it IS risky, and true strength, because it is personally challenging.

Practically no matter how imperfect, I admire that living, LIVE -LY, effort.

I admire their bodacious organic impulse to be really open to life DEEPLY.

[lunatica]

8. I support their right to protest and I applaud them for doing it

I hope the crowds get huge and that their message gets out to the world.

[LuvNewcastle]

10. It's good to see some people trying to

make some changes in this country. If I could be there, I would. I hope their movement grows exponentially.

17. Resistance to injustice is a habit.

It's great to see people working on it.

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. "Resistance..." Very well-said!

[Admiral Loinpresser]

11. Viva Wisconsin! Viva OWS!

I support the democratic movement in the US!

[stuntcat]

13. I positively support this!!

I've watched some of it online, wished I was there!! I wish more of my fellow citizens could be bothered to get out and stand up to the powers.

16. "If a protest is considered a success based on whether its revolutionary spirit proves contagious

then Occupy Wall Street may indeed become a triumph in the long run. The event’s official website recently announced that a similar protest is now being planned in Los Angeles."

[NeedleCast]

20. I support what the protestors are doing

[Frustratedlady]

21. I'm grateful to them for doing what I'm not able to do because of age.

Otherwise, I'd be standing with them.

This should educate people who have been in the dark for so long that we are being manipulated and used. I think the people who were supposed to keep tabs on their activities have let us down.

Will Moody's downgrade today get the attention of ordinary people? Probably not.

Thanks to those who are protesting for the rest of us. You rock!

23. I'll support any effort to bring attention to the ills of this country

No matter how it is done.

I admire you for your courage. This middle-aged lady will try to emulate that when her turn comes on Oct. 6, in DC. Wish I could be with all of you.

The best way. :hi:

28. Here's a YouTube that must be from their media outreach

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxy6JOr-WZs&feature=player_embedded

It's almost too slickly done for my taste, but its wholesomeness and innocent idealism may be exactly what you need to respond to friends and relations who want to put them down as a bunch of dirty hippies.
