I agree with the protesters because they have a reason to protest because they have saw what the economy has done to there parents and others. If i could join i would because the economy has effected my household too.

ahamilton513@gmail.com said...

marykatew4 said...

Yes, I agree with this movement. I would not join in the movement because I do not have any personal motivation or reason to join. But I do believe these protestors have a right to get the attention they deserve.

Jaiden Ballard#5 said...

yes i do agree but i don't know if i would join them because im to busy getting an education. yes i would join the protest because i think the government is not helping out like they should.

a.hatton3 said...

the protesters have a point because thy have seen wht the stock market does we all could protest it the economy effects everyone in someway

mknight5 said...

yes i do agree with the protestors because they know what the economy has done. but i dont think i would join because im not into that kind of stuff and i dont have a reason to join.

Kiara Williams P.5(KNOWSHECUTE_xo) said...

If we were in a position to where we needed to stand up for ourselves & or defend ourselves thats a different story. But, Like the protestors I agree because they've witnessed the change & have a strong arguement against this.

elizabeth martinez5 said...

I believe that people could protest what they believe! I would do the same if in my household was going down and my parents would lose money over the economic. The government has been putting people down since so long taking over evrerything

brooke wolfe5 said...

I do agree with the movement.. i don't think i would join into the movement because i have no personal ambition to join it, also it isn't something that interests me.

LanceJohnson6 said...

I believe these protestors have a right to get the attention they deserve. but i think that the government is in it for the money sometimes because they try and screw us over.. we need to stand up and fight..

karlaknott said...

yes i agree with what they are saying they have the right to protest its not fair that the gov. get to play with are money

JuliusWilliams6 said...

I agree with the protestors cause the government always screws us over somehow and it's starting to get old therefore , we have protestors protesting but i highly doubt that I will join them though.

DENARIUS DEAN6 said...

donaldcrew6 said...

when they went on strike i agree with them because they are doing it for a reason to get their demands met.
They want to get their families back on their feet and i believe thats right.

Stacy Mullins6 said...

I agree with their protest, but i would't join simply because its not a factor to me and not a problem to me. Others who it affects should join and get what they deserve.

Kelley Mae 6 said...

I do agree with the protesters. They have a right to protest against what they think is right. In this case they are helping us by not listening to the government. They are standing up for their self. Our government has became wore over time. They are just doing what they think they need to do.

Austin.Reece6 said...

I really think that the people are doing the right thing. Its just like the ways kids work, you let them get away with one thing and they will try to keep doing it over and over again. We need to be strict with our government, just as they are to us. You think when we do our first federal offense they just tell us to behave. i dont think so, but if the goverenment does something we dont like we just sit back and complain about how much we dont like it. well then we need to get our butts up and start doing something about it and we might not be in the spot that there in right now

Austen Moore #5 said...

I kinda agree with the protestors. But I wouldn't want to join because, protestors get hurt, and will eventually get overrided with is particular protest. But if I had to I would, fight for what I believe in.

jamiehelms3 said...

I would probaly say i would agree with the movement, because i say we should fight for what we believe in



p.s thank for reading

chanel white said...

i agree, i think the protestors have every right to protest for the simple fact they've witnessed things, and its not fair to us that the government is playing with our money the way that they are.

Pat Pat Hill 5 said...

yes i agree with the protesters , but no i would not join the protesters . sure the government isn't helping the way it should but its better than nothing .

chelseadanielle13 said...

i agreee that protestors have a right, because they dont agree with what the government is doing with the money

Beth Cornele said...

I do agree with this movement in NYC because i understand why they are doing it because this economy is taking over peoples life. If I had the chance to join this movement I would because it effects my life to because I can not get a job after applying at over 20 places,

Kyle Kaution Mobley said...

yes i agree, i think people should be able to do what they believe, we all have rights but in this country free is not FREE

Anonymous said...

Yes, i agree with the movement. Yes, i would join if i was able because i agree with them to an extent. We cant let the "banks" run our life & take the money we have earned. It's just not fair.

latrelldavis2 said...

yes i agree with this movemtnt and if i had a chance to joinit i would. for 1 it looks kinds fun and also because they are right the banks are taking everything. its ot fair they get 16 tru=illion dollars giving to them to try and pull them out the slumps but they dont care about the millions of people who has been in the slumps for years. they dont care about the poor the homless the people who can barley surrvive out here.

issac,Splashhn said...

i would join them because These (demonstrators) are regular people trying to feed their families, trying to pay their rent and mortgages, trying to survive in this economy. and the police arrest's them. what kind of economy are we in>?

Anonymous said...

Yes, I agree with this movement. Although, I won't let myself be one of those protesters just because most people get arrested for it, and sometimes get hurt. The protesters already spoke their minds about some things that's needed to be said and stood up for what they believed for which was a brave thing to do, so I think I'm just gonna let them do all the protesting.

Plewis said...

No i don't agree with this movement . No i wouldn't join because there jus use the little people to get what they want and thats more MONEY and MORE POWER. i do not agree because it's BS...cause what ever they are doing isn't right really !

andrewlykins10 said...

yes i agree with the protesters. but i would not join the movement because i dont think it has alot to do with me right now.

todjnemilton1 said...

i agree with the movement because its not right for a tiny percent of the population to be controlling the money we get as people and how we should be taxed yet the rich isn't taxed as bad i hate how the rich just keeps getting richer and the poor gets more poor its not fair everybody deserves a chance not just the government people/rich people.

Anonymous said...

i do agree with the protesters i would not join though because it is not anything i am worried about yet or concerned about

cklapper said...

I agree with the protesters because our government has been so cheep with there money, that the rich can sit on there lazy butts and cant pay a small tax , but people who cant pay it, pay it.

Sowens1 said...

I think it's great that people are standing up for what they believe is right. It takes a lot of dedication to join a protecting group. I would probably not join these people sleeping on the streets, but if i got the chance i would want to go to the park and see what it's like during this. Hopefully these protesters can make a difference in the economy.

amber.r1 said...

yes i would join this movement because this has effected my family. I agree with this movement as well. I think the government has took to many things from us and made to many mistakes.

vicetyler0 said...

i agree with the protesters because the economy has messed up alot of things for alot of people. i wouldnt join them though because i dont like protesting all that much and i dont like sleeping on the ground.... the only thing that would be good about it is getting out of school.

frongia1 said...

Yes I do agree with this movement and I would join this movement if given the opportunity because it is something I agree with. Banks are taking homes and cars of people and messing up lives. They don't care about the people they affect, they only care about themselves.

casiewells3 said...

Yes, I agree with this movement. I would not join in the movement because I do not have any personal motivation or reason to join. But I do believe these protestors have a right to get the attention they deserve.no and no i would not join them in they want me to and i feel if we are attacked we should stand up and fight for want we live for.

stephanieparker3 said...

Yes I do agree with this movement because of what the economy has done to families and their households. I would not want to join because i really have no interest or personal reason to join this.

khalil sloan3 said...

I think that they shouldn't do this protest because people aren't doing anything but i think wasting there time and going to jail. I wouldn't consider anyone to do it and i wouldn't do it. The government is going to do whatever they wont and we really cant change so it is what is swagg

Austin Gibson 3 said...

No I wouldn't join the protester but I'm going to be honest sometimes you got to do what you got to do and make things right. The 1% of the america that is standing up well if they think that is right then let them. It is pretty sad that everybody loves complaining about how this country needs to get better but nobody wants to anything about it. Yes the government screws us bad. Obama saying he is going to get us out of the negative billion of dollars we are in is a bunch of bull. We need an actual president that's going to do something for us. If we could get this country back together and stay there. We wouldn't need to buy foreign product because we would be able to supply ourselves.

rkessler13 said...

Yes i agree with this, but I would not join this because I don't really get into that stuff. The protestors have the right to stand up for whatever they believe in. Some political people should take notice into this big protest.

daiquanewhite4 said...

yea i agree with the protest because the economy has made peoples lives really bad and some people are barely surviving with the money they have. i don't think that i would join the protest because i really don't have much experience by myself with how the economy is.

JustinHall2 said...

i agree with the protestors because the government is always taking more money than they need to take from us and they always be screwin us over. and i think they do have the right to protest.

wyattc27 said...

no i would not join the protest because protesting never solves anything i mean yeah you get to go take your frustration out but does it get you anywhere? they should actually do something that would help them prove a point and get things to change, i mean even celebrities are getting into it. they should just quit protesting because no matter how hard they try it wont change a thing, it just makes them look like the bad guys out of this.

Djook said...

you don't need to express your opinion just by protesting there are many different ways to do so, but they have their own opinion. i agree with the protesters the economy has being going down for a while.

Andrew Gentry4 said...

I dont think they should all it is doing is getting them in trouble and wasting time people aint listening to them so why try. I wouldnt ever protest because it makes you look dumb i mean yeah your trying to prove something that noone will approve of. So i wouldnt suggest anyone try to do it either i mean you do what you do i cant stop you its just pointless.

johnna said...

I agree with the protestors but i wouldn't join, i really have no reason but the protestors deserve their share, they did witness the change.

keekee123 said...

i totally agree with the protesters because the government is basically like forget them i want my money. the government is not helping nothing so there for it caused a protest. yea i would join to fight for what i am trying to accomplish or get. also i would be fighting for the attention my city needs not only for me but for everyone

Anonymous said...

I agree with the movement. Yes some of our problems are caused by worldwide economic problems but a large part is caused by greed among the already wealthy. If I had the opprotunity to join with them I gladly would. Just for the Republican presidential runners saying that what the protesters are doing is class warfare? What the f***. They say that because they are scared, scared that people will realize what they are doing. Since when is America a class system? Organization by wealth is what made the pioneers leave the U.K. in the first place. Everyone is suppose to be equal, obviously its not...
Im moving to Europe.

kenyap,5 said...

Ceara Barker5 said...

Yes, i agree with the movement. Yes, i would join if i was able because i agree with them to an extent. We cant let the "banks" run our life & take the money we have earned. It's just not fair.

I agree to protest because this cause is very important and needs to be expressed and if we just stand and do nothing about it than sooner or later this country's economy is going down the toilet, like last night's dinner.

TylerThaCreator said...

yeah i agree with the protesters because they have a reason to protest because they seen what has happened to there families from what the economy has done.
if i could join the protesters i probably would, because i wanna better economy to.

danielleg5 said...

i believe the protesters have a right to do what they want to do, i wouldn't join because i don't a reason too and i have better things to do then just stand there with a sign..

AntonioW5th said...

Yes I agree with this movement. This is a movement that I would like to join because Wall Street is getting more money, the rich community/society is not paying a lot of taxes, but the middle class society are paying more.

taylormorgan66 said...

i agree with the protesters because they know what the economy has done and if i could i would protest with them the economy has affected my life alot and many others the protesters have every right to do what they did this is america we have the freedom of speech

Taylor Williamson6 said...

They have a really good reason to be protesting. They see how the economy is and know there should be something done about it. They see what this economy is doing to the people around them and also its affecting them. I would join the protest cause I know exactly how the economy is cause I live in the struggle my self. Also I know this all needs to change.

Logan Miller 6 said...

I do agree with the protesters, because they have the right to protest, i would not join them just because thats just not me but i do think it's good that they're standing up.

Corey Estes 6 said...

i dont agree with the protesters because i don't have any ambitions to join or follow them, and the people protesting have a reason to and i don't feel like it would involve me.

"These (demonstrators) are regular people trying to feed their families, trying to pay their rent and mortgages, trying to survive."

I believe that they where correct to protest especially since they have families to provide for. i dont think its right that they got arrested because they where telling the truth about the economy and the police officers dont really have to worry about any of it. its a shame that the banks are taking things away from us.

YURI HEREDIA-CERVANTES, 6TH said...

Yes I agree with these protestors, because they have a right to stand up for what they believe in and for what they know is right.
I am not sure if I would join these protestors just because this problem does effect me directly but if it did I would totally join the protest.

marawocher6 said...

yes i agree with it, & yes i would join it because i understand why they want to protest, and the economy has messed up alot of things for people, and it has effected alot of people and their families.

adamraver6 said...

everyone is entitled to they're own opinion. it's also in our amendements that we have a freedom of speech.

soniajuarez6 said...

i agree with the protestors because they are right. we have to do something about our economy, i wouldnt join it though because im not that type of person.

Ayla Crouch Period 6 said...

"No longer will banks take our homes. No longer will banks rob students of our future. No longer will banks destroy the environment. No longer will banks fund the misery of war. No longer will banks cause massive unemployment. And no longer will banks create and profit from economic crisis without a struggle," according to the online message Monday.

I think that the protestors are very strong hearted people and i'm proud that they took a stand for what they believe in. The polititions shouldnt be able to take money. What the people in wallstreet work for should be what they earn.

skate4life said...

yes I think that the protestors really have a right to protest and they really have a reason to I honestly think that pretty much every one who has been effected by the economy or just money wise should protest so that way the government can at least try to understand and stop what there doing thats making the world a really bad place to live.

Anonymous said...

I agree with this movement, I believe Americans should stand up and fight for what they believe in. If I had the opportunity to be a part of this movement than I would. More people in a protest equals more attention which is the point of a protest, to be heard. The government has a lot of issues and they need to listen to the citizens to try and make the economy better.

logana5th said...

I think if I had the chance I would join the protestors. We have the right to free speech and to defend what we feel is right or wrong. The goverment is changing our country into a finiancial mess. People are losing there jobs and homes in great numbers. Our goverment is not working for us they are working for the rich man and mostly for themselves. I feel the people who got your goverment people their job are getting more out of our goverment than the common hard working people.

alex peguero4 said...

i agree because the government has been messing with us they dont care about us all they care about is about the$$$$money so i fell like every body should agree

shannonkirby5 said...

i agree with the protest. it seems like the economic just cares about the money. they help a lil here && there , but all they want is the money. im not sure if i would join them , i would if they would help the people more.... !

aquilese4 said...

I agree with the protesters because they have a reason to protest because they have saw what the economy has done to there parents and others. It really is what it is mann cant do any thing about it.

beckylykins said...

I do agree with the this protesters. And i would most likely join them in the protest if I could. But, unfourantly I can't. The economy has effected my household as well, which is why i would join them.

Chancelor` said...

i wouldnt join because they get arrested and i dont care if 1% of the people control and i wouldnt do anything to change it unless it was directed directly torwards me

christina.c4 said...

i agree, they have their right to freedom of speech and their using it we as people have lost a lot to this slumping economy many have lost homes and jobs. it affected my family as well. so what can they do their mad and upset and they want their vocie to heard they want change.

logansturgell said...

yes i agree with the protesters because they have a right with the economy the way it is. its effecting hundreds of people in each city .

Anonymous said...

yes i dnt agree and i dont think i will join though

James Pierson 5 said...

I honestly don't care about this. The wall street protests are not something that I'm concerned with at this point. If giving the opportunity I would not join. I'm not saying that I don't agree, but I also don't disagree. It's just not important enough at this time. This would be more important to me if it involved my money, but it doesn't because I don't have any.

jon adams6 said...

i believe the right to protest. As long as their no violate the rights of the others. I do not under stand their cause.

elizabeth martinez5 said...

I sure agree with protesters because everyone has the ability to protest. The goverment is doing right things to the cummunity and to us. One another thing I really won't join I have no reason.

amber.r1 said...

I agree with the protesters and i would join them. I believe that many people are trying to help our economy but we need help now to many people are going without things. This has also affected the people in my house and my family.
