Today on live stream from Occupy Wall Street there were police officers attempting to intimidate the people of the movement when they were video taping those at the rally.
The people involved with this movement are primarily young people. They are hurting because there values are not reflected by the people that corrupt the democratic process in Washington, DC. They believe their beliefs and values are disregarded by those in power and they march peacefully to express their disappointment in our democracy for many reasons. Obstruction of economic recovery, a planet on melt down, a future of expectations in the American Dream trashed by the greedy and their promise of full employment once they achieved their degrees. They are some of the nation's best and brightest. They are the 911 generation. They are precious and important. Our brain trust and work force lives with them. They want their promise kept and a future they bargained for including a family and children. They are the nation's future and they will not be victimized by fear and cowardess that exists in city leadership today.
I am grateful for Leader Pelosi's expression of acceptance of the message and hope all those involved with these people embrace their reality and respect their rights to demonstrate and exhibit their devotion to the democracy we have all come to love.

Pelosi said she sees the protestors' anger stemming from unemployment, which remains pinned at 9%. Pelosi added that the failure of TARP, or commonly known as the bank bailout, to add liquidity to the Main Street marketplace is fueling Americans' animosity towards Wall Street....
