If you're like me, you're subscribed to a near-infinite number of email lists. I like to stay informed.
But it's been jarring, lately, receiving a steady stream of emails from politicians asking me for money when not one of them has stuck up for the people who are truly fighting for the rest of us, the people occupying Wall Street. Where is the solidarity?
At first I ignored it, but then I realized this was, in fact, an opportunity. So I started answering them all back with "I will support you when you support us, please make an appearance at Occupy Wall Street."
Will it make any difference? Who knows. Does it make me feel better? Absolutely.
It's easy, it costs nothing, and maybe if they hear it from enough people it will begin to sink in.
