Power To The People: The Birth Of A Movement

Power To The People: The Birth Of A Movement By MICHAEL SCHENKLER

I’ve read about protests in hundreds of United States cities, Canada, Europe, Asia and Africa. Yes, everywhere, people are “Occupying” parks, streets, squares and circles as a protest against corporate greed and an economic failure which has somehow rewarded those responsible for it and punished the rest of us.

The nascent “Occupy” or “Occupy Wall Street” or “99 percent” movement may be here to stay, and the question – from the political point of view – is which side are you on?

The poll also found that 52 percent of those surveyed disapproved of how Republican Gov. John Kasich is doing his job compared with 49 percent in September. The anti-union law is the centerpiece of Kasich’ legislative program.
