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?
