Leo Gerard, Campaign For America s Future: 'This week s holiday mandates giving thanks. For many Americans, that is complicated by the harsh years since 2008. There s the bitterness of lost jobs, foreclosed homes and diminished opportunity. There s the resentment over bailing out Wall Street, then watching banksters grant themselves sensational bonuses while denying Main Street loans to save businesses. There s the fear generated by county club conservatives demanding draconian cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid?. The past two months, though, produced glimmers of hope - the occupation, the election and the mid-November demonstrations.'

Giving Thanks to Our Public Servants

William J. Astore, Truthout: 'Having served in the military for twenty years and having police officers and other civil servants in my family and among my closest friends, I d like to give thanks to our public servants on this Thanksgiving day. They sacrifice for us; sometimes they even put their lives on the line for us; and despite their flaws they generally uphold high standards?. That s precisely why it s a sad and tragic day for our country when armed citizen-lawmen are deployed by the powerful to disrupt and disperse the powerless, whether in Zuccotti Park or on the campuses of our colleges and universities.'
