Occupy Wall Street: Let's Keep the Movement Alive!

         Anytime in the last 3 weeks if you happened to turn on the television, flip through a newspaper, or go to any sort of mainstream news website you would find without a doubt the words "Occupy Wall Street". Even though the media has been doing day to day coverage on Occupy Wall Street many are not informed on how important Occupy Wall Street is to our Government and why it is is important that we keep this movement alive.
          Occupy Wall Street has been going on since September 17th and has managed from week to week to gain in followers or supporters of their cause. At first Occupy Wall Street may have seemed like any ordinary protest about big business versus the rest of the nation, but as it continues to gain more support and spreads throughout the nation, the protest only becomes stronger. It is imperative that Occupy Wall Street continue to grow, especially, since the protest has already shown to be stronger than anyone anticipated. This can be seen through numerous other demonstrations of "Occupy" going on throughout the  nation as well as support from several Democrat and Republican politicians. Several different unions have decided to back the Occupy Wall Street protests as well, which gives validity to these protests and show the protests have the ability to make a definite change in our Government.
        Occupy Wall Street is going to change our nation for the better if the protests keep up the way that they are. Not only will the protests help make a change in better equality of money distribution and help the U.S.'s national debt, but, it is also making our nation, the 99%,  more unified than it has been, possibly ever. This sudden unity of people from all over the nation shows the possible first steps to change in America in ways that will significantly change our nation for the better. This unity shows that maybe direct democracy in America could stand a chance, which would change the way our nation is run in a huge way.
