Occupy Wall Street: Day 34

--> Occupy TV: The ad above will begin airing nationally. They ad: "This may well be the first time a protest movement will air a positive branding ad." (Via Towleroad)

--> Alisha L. Gordon, M.Ed., Founder of "Finding the Pieces", writes an excellent piece about the deferment of the American dream:

Who is here to help us? Who will aid the American people who chased the American Dream, went to college, started a business or pursued a passion only to get to the end of the road of "promise and prosperity" and have no job or capital to help fund their way from dream to reality? Occupy Any Street is exactly that. It is an occupation, a takeover for the American Dream. Reclaiming the promise made through the blood, sweat, and tears of the people before us. It is not subject to race, nationality, or religion. It is, in fact, a universal promise made to those who call themselves American citizens.

--> Parting words from author Dan Agin:

Occupy Wall Street is about popular disappointment. That it seems aimless and lacks a consensus policy is irrelevant. The sadness of it is that nearly all the power these days is not with the people but with the old enemies of the people -- the financiers and corporations who put personal gain above public interest.
