What are the protestor's demands? Why not quote FDR?
"There is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy. The basic things expected by our people of their political and economic system are simple. They are:
Equality of opportunity for youth and others;
Jobs for those who can work;
Security for those who need it;
The ending of the special privileges for the few;
The preservation of civil liberties for all;
The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living."

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

9. Awesome. Great thinking.. Make it impossible not to show them.
I wish the Wall St crowd would take about 100 and go up behind the Today Show Glass for the AM show. Wonder how they would deal with that?

8. In order for corruption to continue we must have the pretense that nothing works ... no one
knows what to do --

While we watch the anti-FDR's at work stealing all they can -- !!
