This was put together by fellow Kossack SwedishJewFish, here's the story of why she put it together.
I was moved to tears reading the testimonials on the the "We Are the 99 Percent" blog. I have wanted to go down to Wall Street and make my voice heard, but I can't because of my situation. I'm a single mother of a 4 year old with severe asthma, and after seeing the actions of the NYPD I can't take the risk that she would be exposed to pepper spray or any other chemical agent like that, and I can't afford a babysitter. I also can't afford the gas money to drive there (I live in Connecticut) because I only make $250 a week. So I created this video-it's my tribute to the 99%, and everyone who is out there fighting for us on Wall Street. This video is my way of letting them know I stand in solidarity with them, even if I cannot be with them in person.

It's been a long time coming but this brought me to tears. So many people are suffering. I paused it over and over so I could read each message. It all just makes me so sad. I am the 99%. Occupy Wall Street
