It Is A Big Deal

Photo by Bill Perry

As many of you know there has been a grassroots movement taking place against Wall Street. I have not posted anything about it yet because I have been so busy trying to get myself situated for a move back to Colorado but I felt this movement (Occupy Wall Street) and a story needed to be in my scrapbook. A FB friend of mine is a member of Delaware Valley Veterans For America and is also one of the protesters taking pictures and telling their stories. What could be better then a first hand count of what is happening? Thank you Bill Perry for sharing American History in the making, for your service to our Country and for fighting against Wall Street and Big Corporations!-Mem

Promises Kept

“If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for their prescription, who has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer - even if it's not my grandparent. If there's an Arab-American or Mexican-American family being rounded up by John Ashcroft without benefit of an attorney or due process, I know that that threatens my civil liberties. And I don't have to be a woman to be concerned that the Supreme Court is trying to take away a woman's right, because I know that my rights are next. It is that fundamental belief - I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper - that makes this country work.”― Barack Obama
