site because so many places were coming on board. My one wish for now is that it won't stop. I know that the people that attended in this very RED COUNTY were a diverse group. There was actually a man there with a Tea-Party shirt on!
At first he came to fight, but he actually left saying he misunderstood what it was all about. REALLY, it was an eye-opener for him. Then there was a kid who wanted to disrupt the place with Ron Paul flyers and got very hot under the collar. After I sat and talked to him for about 40 minutes and explained to him that we may have a lot in common he calmed down. And here's the BEST part... later that evening when we were discussing how we were going to keep the movement going, I turned around and HE was there!
Anyway, for me it was one of the very best gatherings I've been to in an extremely long time. If MSM wants to put their spin on it I say let them. BUT, if this keeps growing as it has so far, there will have to come a time when they may have to eat their own words.
I'm going to do all I can to spread the word. This is one very Red county and I didn't think we would get that many people to come out. I was wrong which makes me very happy. Even more, almost to a person we want to go forward and grow bigger and bigger.
I've been watching live stream from NYC and they are getting better organized because more places are donating to them to help them along. Green Peace donated some microphone equipment which was badly needed and they aren't getting shut down so much. I have a link to a petition that I signed asking Bloomberg to stop having the police arrest people. I think this is the correct link. If not, I'll find what I signed. See below.
I told Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly to respect the Occupy Wall Street protesters' constitutional right to peaceful assembly. You can, too, at the link below.
