#OccupyWallStreet has taught us that
-we have a time limit to practice our 1st Amendment. In other words, if a person that is interested in reforming the government gets off of work at 11 p.m. s/he can no longer practice her/his 1st Amendment.
-we can not have a successful peaceful protest without getting arrested. Most of the protesters have never been arrested, practicing their rights has made them criminals.
-we can not have a public gathering to discuss our grievances about the government without having riot police dispersing us. Historically, citizens have always gathered in a public place to discuss how to improve government. So much for democracy, right?
-police would rather join the side of those in power (1%)than take the side of the common people (99%). Wouldn’t it be nice to see them out there in their uniforms protesting with the rest of us?
-there is a 1%. The same 1% that is donating money to police departments all across the Nation to suppress our movement.
-we do not need Mainstream Media to document our movement. We the people have better photographers, filmmakers, journalists, and editors than any MSM company combined.
-we the people can make a difference. Since Sept. 17, we have inspired the world to go to the streets and demand their voices be heard.
