Ron Paul supporter visits Occupy Wall Street protest

Ledger Live for October 12, 2011. Ledger Live with Brian Donohue. On a relatively slow day at the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine wades into the rows of crusty sleeping bags in search of some good old fashioned "government issue" socialists. Instead, he finds a surprising number of people who adhere to the platform of the his own conservative hero: Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul. Visit http://www.nj.com/ledgerlive

Internet, especially here on YouTube. It comes off as an extreme form of class warfare and its keeping most americans from caring about what's going on behind the scenes or understanding the dire reality of what the future will hold if this falls apart... And it's concerning every possible aspect of all these people that are showing up to do what they're supposed to do when the country had gone completely to hell, and it has, far more than your going to hear about on the "news", and that is to

done to create an awareness with enough power and enough people, however long that takes, to radically change the way our country operates and get the People correctly informed, aware and involved in things they can be part of the solution for.

And about getting the American people involved, to be honest, and this is based on countless statements, arguments and even jokes I've heard on Radio and TV (When I can force myself to watch it!) that are being said, plus things I've read on the Inter

So basically, and simply, the main thrust (Although any person on the street asked why they're there is going to give their personal testimony, the reasons in that person's life that caused him/her to join in creating awareness).

Think of change as happening in stages. This possibly being Stage 3 of 6. In Stage 1, the recognition of the fact that this nation is sunk by myriad problems and something must be do

Causing as much of society to begin taking notice and grasping the reality of all the major issues facing the majority these days.
