Eric Griego Delivers Petitions to John Boehner

From the Progressive Candidate for CD1 - Eric Griego
Occupy Wall StreetThe other day I blogged about how the "occupation" of Wall Street in New York City by thousands of demonstrators for more than a week has raised hardly a blip on the domestic news media radar screen. It's as if editors and news directors (and their corporate masters) have decided there's nothing new to see here. So move on, move on (wait, even that sounds too radical).
But it's even worse than malign neglect, because in the rare moments when a mainstream news outlet does mention the protests (which like those in Wisconsin beforehand have been very peaceful, and which have attracted Web-based pizza orders from afar), the tone is almost ominous. Consider, for example, this lead-in from CNN "Situation Room" host Wolf Blitzer last Monday: "Protests here in New York on Wall Street entering a third day. Should New Yorkers be worried at all about what's going on?"
Did someone say class warfare? Was it Paul "Richie Rich" Ryan?
Paul Ryan says President Obama's proposed tax increase for millionaires is nothing short of
class warfare. If a class war breaks out, we know which side Paul Ryan will be fighting for -- the entitled class into which he was born.
Paul Begala in a CNN opinion piece:
Mr. Ryan won the genetic lottery. There is no doubt that his great-grandfather worked hard to build that company. But a century and a quarter later, young Mr. Ryan -- who estimates his net worth at up to $2.4 million -- has no calluses on his hands. Just on his heart.
