Occupy Wall St's Absent Supporters

Many middle-aged people support the Occupy Movement but are unable or afraid to participate for fear of losing their job and/or their health insurance. Images suggest most of the participants are young or retired or jobless. However there are many folks they are representing who cannot be actively involved. Those submitting this petition want you to know they are being represented by the Occupy Movement even though this maybe the only way you will know of their support.

Why is this important?

Many middle-aged people support the Occupy Movement but are unable or afraid to participate for fear of losing their job and/or their health insurance. Images suggest most of the participants are young or retired or jobless. Wouldn't it be interesting to discover how many folks they are representing who cannot be actively involved? Why not sign a petition to demonstrate your support? If your health care was not tied directly to your work what kind of freedom would that grant? Is that part of the reason some might like to keep healthcare tied to employment?
