We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we're working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

I am a single Father of two beautiful girls.  I have been unemployed since October 2008 (with the exception of 4 months working for the Census).  I have a BA in English, a Postbaccalaureate Certificate as a Paralegal with 5 years of experience working for my Grandfather in the early 90’s, but can not find a job at a law firm.  If it wasn’t for SChip, Food Stamps and my parents monetary help we would not have food, health insurance (for them) or a roof over our heads. Getting a minimum wage job at Walmart would not even cover the child care expenses for my children so I send out  resumes every day and pray the phone will ring so I can take care of my children with out outside help. I am not looking for a hand out, I am looking for a fair chance to succeed. I am not Un-American, I am the 99%.
