I got drawn into the Occupy movement by
a cross-country roadtrip. I was fortunate to see about 25 camps
around the northern edge of the country, including Zucotti Park and
the rally on Times Square on October 15th.
Issues: Housing, food, homeless
people's rights being ignored. Immigration is a big one, people
should be allowed to come into this country and do the work to get
legal to work. Education: College is getting more and more expensive,
when people get out of college they don't have a job to even get to
pay back the loans.
Congress is being purchased by
corporations, that's unacceptable, as an American I don't think my
vote counts any more because I don't have any money. They just buy
votes, auction off Presidents.
Occupy movement has the potential to
bring create real change, I think it is going to take a lot of work,
focusing. I love them very much and feel a part of the movement and I
think we can pick a candidate for 2012.
Food banks should be bailed out from
taxes going to the Government. Give food to everyone asking for it.
Food is such and easy thing to produce and give away to people that
need it. Everyone needs food and some people don't have it. Millions
and millions of dollars are spent on putting movies together, they
can't spare like a hundred bucks for a local food bank so they can
buy bread for people? Money hoarding is the destruction of humanity.
People should be able to care about
other people's children. Poor people have kids they can't feed, can't
afford even clean water and milk for their babies and that's
unacceptable. If a mom drinks dirty water it will pass to the baby
through breast milk, the baby gets sick and lives an unhealthy life
because of poverty. Poverty is destroying lives and that is not OK!
