Vanessa's+RAFT


 * The world is changing every day. In the past we had Shay’s and Bacon’s Rebellion, which are somewhat happening again today with Wall Street.**


 * Shay’s Rebellion was from 1786-1787. It was about a clash with the New England Farmers and merchants. The merchants were on the higher end, and had a lot more money than the farmers did.**


 * Bacon’s Rebellion was led by Nathanial Bacon in 1676. The arguement led to burning down the colonial house in Jamestown.**


 * I believe in justice, and treating everyone the same. Today, Wall Street is happening which is people that are rich just keep on getting richer. Then the poor are just losing everything they have, and getting even more poor. I am part of the 99% because I believe in equality.**

//My name is Vanessa and I am part of the 99%. I grew up in a house that we couldn’t get everything we wanted. After Christmas vacation, classmates came back to school saying they got a Nitendo DS and ipods, and I got a new teddy bear. My parents are trying as hard as they can to keep us going. My dad is the most hard working man that I know. He owns his own business, and nobody actually knows hows hard it really is. Many people are in debt, and the 1% don’t understand. They don’t care that people are losing their jobs, and possibly their future.// //I AM THE 99%// //occupywallst.org//
