Who Do We Love? Care2 Members Person of the Year (Slide Show)

Who Do We Love?  Care2 Members Person of the Year (Slide Show)
  • 1 of 3

This is TIME Person of the Year Day, so it’s a perfect time to see who rates with Care2 members.  This is a slide show of choices 1,2 and 3, with a few member quotes along the way.

Number One:   Occupy Wall Street and the 99 Percent

The people of Occupy Wall Street deserve “people of the year”. This amazing groundswell of average citizens is transforming the national dialogue.    Kris A.

Not person of the year, people of year, OWS hands down.   Carlene V.

OWS. This is a true peoples’ movement. It was not founded by politicians. It is not financed by billionaires. They are fighting to bring democracy back to this country. Our ideal has always been about fairness, whatever the ups and downs we’ve had as a country over the course of our history. OWS is giving hope back to people.  John D.

I vote for the 99% – the ordinary folk who work and struggle each day to make a living and care for family and friends, who deal with cutbacks, who pay the taxes, who live on limited pensions, who work to protect the ecology, who struggle for human rights…  Wayne M.

Us. The 99%.  Tracy S

Let's give the award to the veteran whose spleen was burst by a police baton, and left to writhe in pain on the floor of a jail cell for 13 hours, prior to being sent to a hospital where, thankfully, emergency surgery saved his life.

OWS for the win!

No argument here...... as part of OWS, I modestly admit that I think they should become that ONE PERSON of the YEAR!!!!
