Well done. CNN (and DU) got their riot porn.

30. We can't use that as an excuse to stop resisting.

I know it's an election year and as a woman (with a daughter and several nieces) I am well aware we have a big job ahead of us and I do see it as critical, especially given the opposition. I will spend time campaigning for our president again, as I did as a precinct chair in 2008.

But I also support Occupy. It is not a perfect movement, but nothing is perfect. I know it seems confusing to some but it's completely logical, I think, to vote in the best possible candidate we can get while we continue to resist an economic system that is making 1% of the planet wealthy beyond comprehension while others lose their jobs, homes, and sometimes their lives.

It is interesting to me that some will say "we can't be non-violent - we have to use all non-violent means possible" - but when we do so then they move the goal posts and say "oh - but we can't do that. What if it leads to something violent happening?". Some will only be happy when we are completely quiet and subservient. When I see those people I have to ask "Why?" Why is it in your interest to fight the resistance?
