Where are the Celebrities?

On 10/14/2011 Mayor Bloomberg will begin his attempt to remove the protestors from Wall Street.  Tomorrow may see lots of arrests when the protestors try to go back into Zucotti Park after the cleaning.  This causes me to ask where are the celebrities who believe in peaceful protest?  Where is Michael Moore? Where is Al Sharpton? Where is Jesse Jackson? Where is Roseanne?  Where is Tim Robbins? Where is Alec Baldwin? These are just a few of the names who have had comments or showed up at the park but don't seem to be around when the pressure is on.  If the big names showed up tomorrow would the Mayor feel as empowered?  Would it be easy for him to arrest Susan Sarandon? Would it be easy for him to arrest Jesse Jackson?  The President and other politicians have said they agree and understand the protestors.  Where are they when the situation becomes tough? 

The new question becomes is who can really be trusted to help the middle class and the poor?

Mayor Hides Behind Police Commissioner

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly announced that the protestors camping out in Zucotti Park will not be allowed to bring sleeping bags and other personal items once the park has been cleaned.  The other day the Mayor said they would just clean the park and rather than have the courage to tell the protestors that sleeping bags and other items would not be allowed after it was cleaned, face to face the Mayor had Kelly make the announcement. 

The protestors should camp in front of the Mayor's home to make their point and to let the Mayor know that he is part of the problem.   If the protestor's were camping out in a poor neighborhood would the Mayor care?
