"The Occupy Wall Street presence...does something to all the rest of us and others who are self-cloistered...it's the people who hit the streets first that encourage, and provide the courage, to people who will come after them."
Ralph Nader
"Why New York’s Zuccotti Park is filled with people is no mystery. Reporters keep scratching their heads and asking: “Why are you here?” But it’s clear they are occupying Wall Street because Wall Street has occupied the country. And that’s why in public places across the country workaday Americans are standing up in solidarity. Did you see the sign a woman was carrying at a fraternal march in Iowa the other day? It read: “I can’t afford to buy a politician so I bought this sign.”"
Bill Moyers
