mike, same question to you. what was it that stirred you to go out there and give a part of your life to this? for me, it was feeling like i didn t have a place for my voice to be heard. feeling like i wasn t represented in government, feeling like i wasn t represented in the broader economic system. you know, coming out of college and having $50,000 in debt, being unemployed for two years, working odd jobs that barely pay the rent, with no health insurance and limited options. and no one to really listen to what i felt was important. well, i m going to study what you guys have said. i m going to look at that, type it up and look at it. your voices have been heard. thank you for coming on hardball, even in this small amount of time. michael premo and tyler combelic, thank you guys for coming on and representing occupy wall street. up next, president obama s back on the road, pushing his jobs plan piece by piece. are voters buying what they re selling, even retail, are they bu

this country, and that s why i think it s more of a movement than a political party or anything like that. but you re all individuals in that movement. staying with you, tyler, what was it that first stirred you to make you want to join this movement? what experience, what observation about our economy, our politics? i think for me, it was, when the recession occurred, i felt frustrated. i felt like there was no recourse. you had two political parties that would argue it s the other party s fault that the system was broken, but neither were offering any solutions. neither were talking about what s the future for america. what s the future to make this country great? and when i came down to the protest, i decided to stop by and check it out for myself. i found a voice, i found people expressing the same frustrations and having hope that if we all raise our voices together, we d be heard. we d get coverage. and suddenly, politicians would have to listen to us again. they d have to li
but there s one common thread. as i said, anger. and some have looked for jobs for months, others have lost their homes to foreclosure. angry they all are. so is the movement just about anger and where is it headed? for that, we re joined by two participants out there and spokespeople for the movement itself. tyler combelic is a freelance web designer and michael primeau is a photojournalist. gentlemen, they have both been involved with the movement from the early stage. you re veterans out there. how long have you been out there, michael? thank you for having us on, chris. i have been out here since the first week, about three and a half weeks now. and what have you felt that you ve accomplished so far, personally? i feel like what we ve accomplished so far is exercising our democratic rights to peaceably assemble. it is an amazing, exhilarating experience to be involved with a movement of people who are gathered together, to redress our grievances. you know, for generations,
