Because together we are STRONGER.

There is safety in numbers.

What will it take for the common people to unite, multiplying our numbers exponentially? What if unions joined together in solidarity? Didn't the nurses union show up to support Occupy or was that in Wisconsin, I can't remember? It could happen though. Change will come at the grass roots level. From the bottom up. When the people get sick and tired of being sick and tired and abused.

Republicans have been using the same old song and dance for a hundred years or more: divide and conquer.
