Political Blood. Sweat & Tears

10/9/11 to Whitehouse.gov
Mr.Obama,
In the office of the Presidency, are you really able to follow your conscience and choose good over evil? The Occupy Wall Street/DC protesters assume that you do not have that power to choose. They're calling for an end to the proverbial tail waging the dog. They know that neither you nor the legislature has enough blood, sweat and tears to invest in fixing the machine. How many boom busts cycles wrapped in corporate bailouts and excessive government debt can our system withstand. How many times must Americans endure plans that lack accountability; lack real and meaningful punishments for those who rape our democracy both at home and abroad. In times like this, much as it was in the civil rights era, it is in the hands of the people. The protestors say it's about the 99%. Shamefully Congressman Eric Cantor says they are the mob. They are not the mob, --they are the American People. You too should resist the temptation to marginalize them as anything other than Americans. They're also not just a group of unemployed either. Clearly that's no longer all of it. It's becoming less about economics and more about social justice; about cozy politics and big money interests. We should ask ourselves today what side of history we'd like to be on.
