So much for not being organized.

4000 Peaceful Protesters have been arrested...

I said in the beginning this was not a minor movement.  I said in the beginning these young people were putting their lives and minds on the line to save their own economic lives. 

It is not right.  It is not justified for them to be mistreated and arrested for carrying out peaceful protests.  They didn't ask for the punishing economy or oppressive opposition party.  They are innocent.  They don't deserve to be arrested, they should be revered.  They are being arrested while Wall Street still lives in its Ivory Towers.

The mayors and their police are doing a lousy job, the university chancellors and their police are doing worse.  It is time to stop the mistreatment of the innocent.  Their records need to be expunged, their medical bills paid and honor paid to them with 'dialogue' and not police batons or worse.

“Mr. President,” the group said, “over 4,000 peaceful protesters have been arrested. . . . ” (click here)

These are the people who most believed in President Obama when he was elected.  They stood on the Mall in massive numbers at the inauguration.  They deserve the President's attention, his compassion and his assistance with their message to carry out peaceful protests without injury or adverse legal obstacles.  They are our sons and daughters.  They deserve to be heard.
