The conspiracy theorists might take that and run with it.

they are too busy solving the 9-11 conspiracy.

Oh, they'll latch onto a new one. Never too many conspiracies!

maybe bigfoot or the lochness monster..

very important stuff

At least the loch ness monster one is a little interesting.

I saw Bigfoot, he was a jerky commercial or something.

Good to see those who can are exercising their rights to protest. Wish you luck with that.

Well, there must be some of you making over $250,000 / year on this site if nobody here is committed to going. If you make less, you need to participate! I will be in Washington, D.C next week & hope you join me in telling Wall Street, the politicians & the government that they are done stealing our money, our houses & out-sourcing our jobs.

I think if I made more than 250,000, ( I dont know why Id need to though with a family of three), I could actually AFFORD to have gone...lol

but hence, since we struggle, IM needed more here at home with my family keeping things together,,,,

You can always check out "Occupy (your city)" on google or Facebook & get involved locally. I hope you do! Look what peaceful protests did for the equal rights movement in the 60's. Without them, change may NEVER have happened. Segregation could have still been in place!

Wow, no wonder we're in this massive political, financial mess. In case you haven't noticed, ignorance is not creating bliss in America!

Nope, looked at their page. I don't necessarily agree with their issues.

You don't have a "right" to a job. You earn a job.

Publicly funded college? Thats not gonna work.

policies to make green energy? Its not viable yet. If it were it would be more widely used as it would be more profitable for companies.

National health care? - we don't have the money to support it especially with the number of illegals in the country that would get getting it and not paying into it.

Thats just a few. Nice Ideals but not realistic.

For an action that is such a "waste of time", it seems to be growing pretty nicely. Even the WSJ seems to have noticed.

Only because Van Jones and Obama's people are behind it. The organizer's of these protests don't give a flying F$%^ about the people they are doing it because they see the damage the Tea Partiers have done and are going to do to the Democrats in the next election cycle and they are desperatly trying to counter that.

I would have gone to watch the spectacle and brought Invictus with me, but I'm out of town this week.

I agree that these people are certainly supportive. So am I. Whats' wrong with that? Damage by the Tea Party? I doubt that any of the protestors are even thinking about the Party that enjoys an 18% popularity of the country. They hate the financial services industry. They know what role it has played in the economy. What does Van Jones have to do with that? Why is he even mentioned? It's not like he's the Koch Brothers or Grover Norquist or Rush Limbaugh or Dick Army. Since when is it wrong to be an advocate for a position? Or is this just Fox News' latest conspiracy smear? Is Van Jones financing the protests and shipping the protesters in like Freedom Works? Is he really, really rich like the Koch Brothers?

Instead of just throwing in Van Jones' name because you don't like him and suggesting some kind of grand conspiracy, why don't you tell us what he has actually done, especially with regard to the protest, with some references to support it. It must be really, really special. Educate me. I don't listen to Fox News, so I have never heard of him. Nobody else has seen fit to mention him. Where did you hear about him? How does this big conspiracy work? Isn't that worth a thread of its own? Do you have anything interesting or important to say about him? Tell us about him. What is his pivotal role in the Wall Street protests? How is he important to the country?

You mean the party that took the Democrats out of power in Congress and crippled them in the Senate? Or the party that took away a Senate seat that the Democrats held since the 1930's in the most Liberal state in the country when Teddy Kennedy croaked?

I mean the party that walked into office when Democrats decided to punish the President by staying home fro the polls.

Are you able to answer any of my questions about Van Jones? We all want to know about him.

You guys can mud sling if you want but it would be better to talk about the issues.

the movements that occured in the 60's were movements necessary for the health of our country in the future... The only person I know personally that makes 250 Thousand or better WORKS 16 hours a day or more (so now you want to STEAL his work).

How dare you compare this political stunt with those movements.

How dare those people that organized these things compare themselves and their 'agenda' to ANY right action...

Like the Arab Spring, (to remove a repressive regime(s))... A RIGHT action.

We are the US OF A...

You got a problem with the governemt? VOTE to change it.

Or open an office and RUN FOR Congress to change it.

But don't blow no sunshine up my dark places to further a political agenda.
