My mother is 75 years old. And she is furious. Absolutely furious. She's worked her whole life trying to make things better for people, so that kids would never go hungry in this country again like they did when she was a kid during the Great Depression. And now she sees that it's all coming back. If she could, she be in New York helping to Occupy Wall Street. But she has medical and financial issues that keep her close to home. Instead she's writing about it here.
$1362 for Face Cream v. Hungry Children and the Wall Street Demonstrators
I'm mad as hell, and I won't take it any more. There are hungry children in America, the richest country in the world. I worked all my life against this sinful injustice, and it is back! I am one ferociously angry grandma, and I'm going to nag the hell out of you until YOU change this. My generation of activists and I did so much for you! Now you've got to help the children!
Thank God that there are some folks now demonstrating against Wall Street. Good for them! But that's not enough.
What are YOU doing about it? ....
There's a lot more.
#OccupyWallStreet is giving my mom hope for the future. She stands with them and that top one percent better watch out!
