I've been participating in OccupyDC for a few weeks now. I've camped, marched, attended rallies, donated food and change, and no, the woman in the wingnut video is NOT using her kids as a human shield.
So, yeah, I participate when and where I can.
Then, something magical happened.
A good friend from high school moved home from LA and he's fed up with the way things are going in rural Ohio. He's fed up with double digit unemployment, that only gets worse in December, January and February (we're rural, farming isn't really taking place at these times). And he met other fed up people, which is not hard to do at all in Ashtabula.
So, Rod and the "others" decided, they had had enough.
