While I'm guessing most people who join this group will have at least some knowledge of recent events I am posting this for those who might stumble across this unaware.

On September 17 a small group of protestors took to the streets of New York near Wall Street to protest the loss of opportunity and rights by the middle class in the United States, the state of the economy, and how it affects the majority of the population. Many people are either totally unaware of what has been happening in New York or just beginning to learn about it because the corporate controlled major media has not been reporting about it.

As corporations have gained increased power in our government the distribution of wealth has shifted to the point 1% of the population controls most of the money. The middle class is diminishing and we are rapidly becoming a nation with 1% ruling elite and 99% of us becoming their underpaid servants. There is a growing uprising against the disparity in wealth and the corporatization of government which has been diminishing participation in government by most of the population.

So far the movement has remained peaceful even in the face of violence perpetrated by some members of the police community. I hope the protestors remain non-violent, and the police will cease their use of clubs and mace and stop arresting innocent people who simply want to speak up for their rights.

It is time for all of us to speak up on the issues of the day and start talking to our government representatives who are catering to big business and big banks while ignoring their real constituents.
