Who are we?
What do we want?
By Earnest H.
These are the questions we are asked over and over again and the answer is both complex and simple. We are people who have lost good jobs and are out of work, we are students who haven’t been able to find a job, we are veterans, and we are just people paying attention. The simple answer is we are Americans who see something has gone horribly wrong.
What we want is an end to the corporatism which clogs and twists our political process, what we want are good jobs being created, what we want is a fair system that treats everyone the same and that does it without forcing us into little boxes designed by other people. The simple answer is we want the system that takes the money and resources of the 99% and funds 1% by corporate bailouts and everyday corporate welfare to stop and go away forever.
We all have different reasons for why we arrived here and why we want the system to go away and we may have different ideas of what that better world looks like without this system of theft, but we all have come here united in a common cause of peace and respect and when we talk to our brothers and sisters on the street with us and everyone who comes by to talk to us â€" we need to remember why we are here and communicate with the idea of peace in our mind and mutual respect in our hearts.
