A people-powered movement requires people to participate. The 99% requires that level of participation.
No one will create the Change for the better you wish to see in the world. It will not be given you. You must stand up and Change things for the better.
Or those who wish to Change things for their own benefit, will.
"And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent."

For those who have marched, camped, organized, donated food, time, and money; who have spread the message and even in their mind known they are the 99%...thank you.
