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 married mother of 2 kids.  We lived on rice & beans all the way through 3 years of Nursing School - paying bills with student loans & CalWorks, & eating with $429.00 per month in Food Stamps.  I told my kids it would bet better … but it isn’t.  My job doesn’t pay what  thought I would earn, my kids have no health insurance & I can barely make minimum payments on my student loans.  My husband hasn’t been able to find a full time job despite looking for 3 years.  We are the 99% ALL WE WANT IS QUALITY OF LIFE!
