Work is as important as Capital!

Captain America at the 99% Cafe

Captain America reads what passes for "news" about the presidential elections.
And he doubts a 1-percent man like Mitt Romney will ever do what is best for the 99-percent of Americans.  He doubts any of the candidates are 99-percenters.

We Are NOT Anonymous

The Occupy Movement is important, but it cannot be anonymous.

It takes courage to stand in public, as an identifiable member of society, with a real face and a real story of life in America.  It is our undeniable realness that is the most powerful statement we can make.

My name is Jay Larsen. I am a father, a son, a husband, a brother, a citizen of America and the World.  I am one of the 99% and I stand for justice, peace and love.  I just finished paying off my student loans.  My mortgage is under water.  And I worry about the future of my children and future generations.  I am here to negotiate a new social contract that works for all of us and not just for the top 1% of earners.  I cannot be anonymous.  I am here to occupy my life.

Join me.

Take off the masks!!!  We are not criminals and terrorists.  We are citizens with real faces, dignity and pride.

The 99% Cannot Be Anonymous.
