My generation might be salvagable; twenty somethings are not only protesting corporate greed..but they are passionately picketing and will not budge.
Occupy Wall Street is something that is effecting everything and everyone. The sheer fact that people are trying to take away our right to freedom of expression and protest violates not only the first ammendment but what our nation stands for: liberty.
Finally, our attention is being torn away from celebrity gossip and our energy is focused on an issue that truly matters. There is a picture of a seven year old girl on the Washington Post online site. She is holding a sign that says, "There is a 99% chance that you are one of us, even if you don't know it yet". I'm sure that she has no idea what she is holding in her hand, picketing in a park for countless hours with her parents and thousands of strangers. But she, in fact is one of those who is affected.
Don't take away our right to protest, assemble, and obtain knowledge about the truth. This is only making us stronger, aware and unified.
