In Defense of Occupy Wall Street

Decisions are being made in America tonight. Some people are choosing to be assertive about their rights, whether they are giving words of support, marching with protesters, or using their right to free speech to debate the legitimacy of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Others are choosing to be assertive about their opinions of the protests by impeding conversations or making statements backed by inflated emotions (for or against).Yet most Americans still reside on the sidelines, either from uncertainty about the reason for the protests, questions about the legitimacy of protester's arguments, or disinterest/ lack of knowledge about the entire issue. Wherever you stand, it is important for all Americans to recognize a few things about the reasons for a movement and its importance in America's future.
