The Champions of the Ninety-Nine Percent

I have always believed lasting progressive transformation will come from people s movements, the kind now taking root in towns and cities across the nation. But it will also require people on the inside who share those principles and are fully dedicated to fighting for them. In 2012, we have the opportunity to elect those champions.'

A Man in Tunisia, a Movement on Wall Street, and the Soldier Who Ignited the Fuse

Michael Moore, MichaelMoore.com: 'One year ago on December 17th, Mohamed Bouazizi, a man who had a simple produce stand in Tunisia, set himself on fire to protest his government s repression.... Three months ago on December 17th, Occupy Wall Street began with a takeover of New York s Zuccotti Park.... Twenty-four years ago on December 17th, U.S. Army Spc. Bradley Manning was born.... People across the world devoured the information Bradley Manning revealed, and it was used by movements in Egypt, Spain, and eventually Occupy Wall Street to bolster what we already thought was true.'

Occupation 2.0: Occupy Wall Street Challenges Neighboring Church, and Capitalism

J.A. Myerson: 'There are adherents to the theories of Bakunin and Marx and Fourier and Luxembourg at Occupy Wall Street, but these modern political ideologies are not required for anti-capitalism. After all, it was an ancient Nazarene carpenter who enjoined the masses that 'It is easier to fit a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.'
