IMHO she should source it, otherwise many will assume she wrote it.

Hey guys. Every piece on that blog has the author's name in the heading, unless they request that their name be witheld. Or I don't know who they are. Someone sent me that letter and I have no idea who wrote it. I've said I will post anything anyone sends me that is relevant to the movement and doesn't contain hate speech, racism etc. Thats the whole idea behind "Free Press."
I've posted plenty of stuff on there that I don't particularly agree with and they can't kick me off cuz I'm the admin! In this case I do agree and I'd really like to put the myth to rest that the Occupy movement is against hard work. I give my all at my paid job and then I put in a lot of unpaid hours on the blog besides. Some of the posts on there are transcriptions of recorded material provided by people who don't have typing skills. I do that, plus I edit spelling and grammar and try to respond to every comment, or most of them at least.
If I have a choice in the matter, I work for smaller companies and shop there as well. I believe in helping out the little guys. At the moment I work for a large corporation because I needed a job and that's what was available. The union my company belongs to is pro-occupy as are a few others.
