(2,424 posts)I never spent a night in a tent or marched down the street.
Perhaps those that did so would look at me with disdain.
I would like those folks to know that you have truly inspired me. I choose not to actively protest in the street, but I want those folks to know that they have awakened me.
I believe your message and I spread it to all who might listen. I have taken extra time to educate myself and the more I learn, the more frightened I get.
You are heroes in the same category as soldiers. Every time I saw you, I privately cheered.
I am politically 100% on your side.
I am sure there are many, many more like me. Just because one didn't camp out, doesn't mean one is not ideologically aligned with OWS. I'll bet there is a significant ratio of supporters that stayed home from demonstrations but will participate in the democratic process in supporting like minded candidates.
I will help in any way that doesn't induce this old man to be pepper sprayed and beaten. That includes financial contributions, educating myself further, and debating the issues with those that will listen.
If there was an OWS party, I would vote it straight ticket.
