IF YOU DON'T MAKE A SIX FIGURE SALARY, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS SUPPORTING THE GOP

Rochester, N.Y.--  There is no other way to say this: "If you do not consider yourself "financially wealthy," then you have no business voting for a Republican at any level of government-- period. If you think otherwise, then you are just voting against your own self-interest.

While Occupy Wall Street protests continue to spread across the country, outrage against an economy stacked against the 99% is growing. And the media is finally paying attention. Our national debate has shifted from austerity, deficit reduction and cuts to jobs to inequality, income disparity and our broken economic system.

But Congress still isn’t listening to the 99%. Policies continue to fail the 99% and reward the rich at the expense of the rest of us.

Last week, it happened again: Senate Republicans once again blocked progress for workers with a political maneuver, filibustering the Teachers and First Responders Back to Work Act. It didn’t get a vote at all. Justice for the 99% once again was delayed.

Deliver a message of support

If Congress won’t represent the 99%, then we clearly need to put our anger into action and stand together. Let’s build a movement that is strong enough that our elected officials will have no choice but to start addressing the needs of the 99%.

If you can’t join protesters on the ground, one way to make your voice heard is to send a message of solidarity to those who are.  You can contact the Voice Reporter with your message and we will deliver it for you. Or, if and when your downtown, stop by the Occupy Rochester events at the Liberty Pole and let the "occupiers" know you stand with the 99% of Americans.
