Please Donate - Let Me Represent You

The Occupy Movement is spreading rapidly across the United States. It began in lower Manhattan on September 17, and now over 50 cities are organizing similar protests. Boston, Denver, Portland, Tampa, D.C. . . . the list goes on and on and on . . .

I want to represent you. Many of you can't get out there on the streets because of work obligations, family commitments, and so forth. That's where I come into play. But I need your help. I want to be a voice for those of you who can't make it to these protests that are spreading across the country. Pitch in $5 to get me where I need to be for you.

I've established a readership. I have ties to D.C. All of you know that. Now it's really time to hit the streets, and start spreading the message and getting people talking about the student lending crisis and how it relates to larger systemic problems in the U.S. I will be interviewing people and reporting, and also exploring the theme of student loan debt. Are the folks at these rallies also holding signs about their student loan debt? Are they also out there because they are indebted? We've seen a lot of signs in NYC about student loan debt, so I want to know if that is something that is being expressed in other cities.

Some of you aren't in favor of the politics behind this movement. Whether or not you're in favor of these protests, you and I both know that I need to be out there and talking to people face-to-face about the student lending crisis. I need to be telling them that there is an army of indentured educated citizens.

Here's my plan for the next couple of weeks (make note of the college campuses - these are people AEM needs to be meeting and talking to):

Austin, TX
Houston, TX
Tulsa, OK
Oklahoma City, OK
New Orleans, LA
Fayetteville, AK
Occupy OSU (Stillwater)
Occupy OU (Norman)
Occupy Mobile (Alabama)
Occupy Jackson (Mississippi)

As you can see, I want to explore protests in the Heartland and the South. I want to reach out to these people, and I also want to be there representing ALL of us - the indentured educated class.

Put me to work, and let me get out there to represent all of us! Pitch in $5 today.
