2. All kinds of people who would not go near an actual camp or march
are taking courage from the fact that someone, somewhere is voicing their frustrations and fears.

Actions like those of OWS build unity among people who are shamed by the rich into silence and feelings of guilt about their poverty.

I have a friend who recently lost her job and had to move back in with family. She is a very capable woman with a long, successful work record, and her job loss has left her bitter and frightened.

She was delighted to hear on MSNBC about the OWS camping and marches. It is giving her that fight-back spirit that she needs.

Thanks for all who cover OWS in a positive way. It is the movement that will energize many Americans and make them feel less alone.

For every demonstrator at an Occupy site, there are hundreds if not thousands around the country who are supporting the movement in their hearts.
