During my youth in El Paso... I can remember exiting the school grounds and protesting the E.P. school district rules concerning the length of hair on male students.
In High School, I marched in protest of the war in Vietnam.
Marching on the Utep campus as part of the Students for a Democratic Society.
Surrounding the Utep Police Security Building in an attempt to release an older gentleman with chants of "Free GrandPa".
Ahhhh.... Good Times. The disenchantment of youth, eh??
Time to Stand UP for something again...
This weekend I will be marching with the Occupy Wall Street movement in Phoenix. I stand with others who feel that NOT ENOUGH has been done to support the 99% who have suffered as the result of the recession that grips this nation.
I'm fortunate in that I have a job... but I know too many friends who do not and cannot find work. I feel it is a personal duty to stand up now and march for those who feel they are NOT BEING heard.
In addition to my marching, I have withdrawn $100K from my CHase account in support of the movement's goals in making Wall Street aware of the power of the people.
Little things... Bigger things.... they all add up. Together, eventually, they have to make themselves felt.
