Hey everyone, I just got word from the plaza that they are about ready to take a consensus to leave. To stop the occupation because they have enough people. They don't feel safe! Please, if you have a way to get down there, GO NOW! Don't let our movement end so soon!

Nice! I highly doubt our mayor will do the same, but good for LA.

Hahaha exactly. His purpose here is to try and make us doubt ourselves. I posted in his intro and said what I wanted to say and now, I'm not paying it any more mind. I'll be out tomorrow and I'll revel in everyone around me. I'll soak in their spirit and passion and it'll just fuel me for the following weeks when we're going to protesting more. And ya know what? I'll never think of him ever again.

It will help a lot more than what you are doing. Being a troll on a forum does nothing.

I believe that you are part of the problem. You have no idea who will show up tomorrow. I, for one, am not a college student or an old "hoppy." I also have no desire to use tomorrow's protest to get laid. I am an individual who works a full-time job who cannot make ends meet. I am currently looking for a second job so I can try and make my situation a little better. Tomorrow's protest is about making the government see that we people have a voice too. Will it make any impact? Tomorrow, probably not. But will it spawn and further a long-term movement here in Nashville? I hope so. I pray for it.

As for your political leanings, I am also a person who voted for both Bush and Obama. I don't lean for one party or another, as you obviously do. The political nature in the country has come to such a point that I vote for the person who I believe will do the best job of not digging us further into a hole. I voted for Bush simply because I had no faith in John Kerry. I voted for Obama because there was no way I was going to have Palin anywhere near the presidency. McCain could've been useful if he was the same candidate as 11 years ago, but he wasn't. I am tired of being presented with political choices who do not inspire me. Obama did for a little while. For a brief shining moment, I thought to myself that he could be different. I realize that was naive. No one politician can change anything. The people have to. That is why we're protesting. That is why we're occupying. Will it work? Maybe. Maybe not. Politicians and corporations like to ignore common people as long as they can. We've seen that time and time again. But we will not sit behind a computer and make potshots and sign up for forums with no other purpose than to belittle people. We will go out, we will march, we will say what we need to say. We aren't the 99%. We are people, plain and simple. Old, young, rich, poor, educated, uneducated, working, unemployed. We believe we can make a change. We believe in hope. And there is nothing more American than that. And that is what we believe in the most: America. We believe and we rally for her.

Greetings and salutations, my name is Courtney and I'm here for mostly the same reason as you. Corporations are controlling this country and politicians, people we have elected, do absolutely nothing about it. In fact, they help it so these corporations will give them more money. And it doesn't matter who you're talking about-- republicans, democrats, independents, Obama-- they all take. So basically, I want corporations out of our government. They are NOT people. They shouldn't be allowed to give candidates unlimited amounts of money. They shouldn't be bailed out when they ruin our country's economy. It's time for Washington and Wall St. to be liable to the only people who matter: us. And ya know, I'm not a big fan of this whole "99%" thing. I don't believe in excluding anybody from what we're trying to do. We, together as an entire country, have to change things.

On that note, I'm willing to do whatever needs to be done. I live in East Nashville and I can do whatever. I'd love to be on a team of some sort. I'm willing to make and put up flyers, call whoever, anything. Let me know what I can do for the cause.

Peace and love to all of you.
