I'd like to say to any OWSers reading this post...
I'm soo proud of you and your steadfast determination to stand up for a fair society.

I'm soo proud of your courage, your willingness to endure the increasing militarized tactics to suppress your message.

Thank you all for making democracy real.

Thank you for giving me hope for my children and my grandchildren's future.

Please understand that there is tremendous power in victimhood. The willingness to suffer violence without retaliation wins more hearts and minds than fighting the police. Exposing their brutality is what makes real change happen. History is full of examples.

You are what made America great and what will make it even better in the future.

Thank you.

1. Very nice!
I'd like to add that I'd be there with you if my damned body wasn't so broken. :(

2. If you can find one of your area --
I encourage you to attend it -- I am a regular at SF's and it really is something to see and participate in. If you, can't Occupy your block with a sign of OWS support!

3. I wouldn't call it
victimhood. I think bravery is a better word. Or steadfastness. Or resilience.

4. Thank you for you support
Without continued encouragement from people like you, the frustrations and setbacks might just get to be too much.
