Why I am Going to Occupy Wall Street
Lakewood resident talks about his upcoming journey to occupy Wall Street.
Why am I going to occupy Wall Street? Rather, the question is: Why wouldn’t I go to Wall Street?
This is a very impulsive decision. I’ve talked with my friend, Nathan, about going. I read more about it to find out what it was about.
It's something I need to do.

What do these protestors want?
There’s not one answer. People are sick of corporate money and 1 percent of our nation’s population controlling 99 percent of the wealth.

This country’s wealth distribution is sickening.
I am going to show solidarity for this movement. I want to find people, like me, who have an open mind.
I don’t know how long I will be there — it might be a couple weeks. I might get arrested.
So I am going to New York to join the movement to occupy Wall Street.
I am going to be a part of it and document the experience.
Won’t you come with me?
