"tea party rally= every mainstream media outlet pre-empting the day's news with live coverage of 50 angry old white people.

= every mainstream outlet ignoring thousands of people taking over the beating heart of the global financial system, with massive protests and hundreds of arrests.

Like and share Occupy Wall St. if you'd like to see the media stop ignoring this historic event."

What if the Tea Party Occupied Wall Street? In an action called Occupy Wall Street, thousands of activists took to the streets of Lower Manhattan on September 17. The protests are continuing, with demonstrators camped out on the Financial District's Liberty Street in support of U.S. democratizat

If you're in Houston or NYC and consider yourself stuck at work OR stuck at school: considering giving $ or items to the brave ones willing to quit their jobs to occupy Wall St right now. Some are also long-time unemployed people and some are students who have been missing class, just ask about it. Food, water, umbrellas, toiletries, batteries, media contacts. Only give what you can. If you're in the area, maybe just stand with them every now and then. Buy someone a sandwich. Send reusable items when possible and be creative with your donations, we don't have to buy our way towards the undoing of plutocracy.
