Abstract
I am offering this letter of support to all of you who have contributed so selflessly to the Occupy Wall Street ("OWS") movement. You are steadfast examples of the fortitude and conviction that represents the quintessential American dedication to what is right, what is just, and what is fair. Such commitment stems from well before the time of the famous New England activist and brilliant philosopher, Henry David Thoreau, who in 1849 asserted in his celebrated essay on civil disobedience: "I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not so desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for what is right."
