Occupy Wall Street, is steping up.



Occupy Wallstreet took 30,000 to the streets today and I do not think they are playing!
    Things are happening with "Occupy Wall-street" this week. Many people are putting themselves on the front line, for a National cause. Many  feel that they are merely another protesting nuisance. Let them feel that way, because they are probably uninformed or in bed with Wall Streets banks.
    The inequality in this Nation is at an extremely shocking number. The figures are as follows; "1% of the population are super wealthy", (Time) while the rest of us scramble!. Really, people that are protesting are only trying to expose the truth and break down barriers that shield with lies. After all, modern day Wall Street and their dealings have become very shaky and the banks they deal with have our Nations money! Why not get upset, after what we saw happen a couple years ago, as 401k's, mortgages, and pension's were all a part of a mess that almost destroyed everyone. I'd like to say the worry is over, but as you see I do not need to say anything, because the Wall Street protest speaks for itself. They would not be there protesting if there was not a problem.
   Good News (I hope!): Is that the people have found a voice with experience; "Van Jones". He is well known for his own part in the "protester" realm. In his college day, I hear mister Jones was quit the "Rabble Rouser", (Time Magazine Nov. 2011 ed). Because of such a history he has suffered the accusations of "Marxist" by the republican (ist) parties. He was actually forced to resign from his position as "Over Seer of the Green Projects" for the Obama administration (Time). That was a severe blow to his career and it was all because he had a history of being a "protester" which to them equals, "troublemaker".
     As you see these protesters have a lot to loose in the future. They are putting their lives on the line for you who suffer the inequality of this Nation. Therefore I hope these protester will be treated with respect and helped in any way possible. With "Van Jones" helping them with his own experience of Inequality, they should find some serious footing. We really need them to have a voice that makes sense. I just hope and pray they are helped for the right reasons and not for the purpose of some-ones personnel gain.
May God go with them, because they are going to need him.......
