72. We won't be marginalized as long as we are loud and strong
Loud and strong show of real people with real jobs who pay taxes and are sick of it. This is every bit important as the civil rights marches.

What we don't need are these tiny regional protests. We need people who can organize and mobilize people to take a walk in Manhattan and stop to give speeches and noise in front of Goldman Sachs and demand that justice for these crooks ripping us off every day. It has to be serious unlike a bunch of ignorant rednecks with tea bags hanging from their hats.

Torture, wiretapping, wall street rip-offs WTF? Why are people just sitting on their asses? We need to stop expecting president fairy tale to do what citizens of the country are required to do under these circumstances - protest. Its our right as citizens and if we let CIA, NSA, FBI, HSA on and on keep infringing on the constitutional safegaurds on our rights as a free people, we will lose what little power we have.

We are not powerless en mass. If you want a better future we need to protest what is happening today. We can't keep expecting other people to do the work we need to do ourselves.
