LOD: Wall Street Sit-In

What happens on September 17? According to an insider, New York’s Wall Street will be “occupied” by an army of rebellious dissidents determined to attack corporate greed and the grip of big money over the nation’s political economy. Who knew? A crowd of 20,000 “leaderless” rebels will camp out and cripple Wall Street as others occupy major financial capitals across the world. “One thing we all have in common is that we are the 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%,” according to posts on the Occupy Wall Street website. The corrupting role of corporate money in politics is an overarching theme, and overturning the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision is a central demand. Will it be heard?

    Glad you gave some mention of this protest on Wall Street. Hopefully, this event will gain traction as we all move forward to rebuild a fair, just America for all. We need to consolidate our collective wits to bring about a sane, peaceful world. It’s up to each and everyone of us who care about sharing our multicultural planet.
