1. This civil disobedience is SO SO important to our country.
This is the first truly important thing that has happened in DECADES. It is peaceful, and yet it's the first time the corporate media has been unable to ignore the majority.
CNN is reporting this non-stop now. It's also showing the tranquility and peace of Occupiers. And the media is forced to use MILLIONS of its advertiser's funding to report Occupy movements.
This wonderful, wonderful leaderless movement is growing. It's growing in cities, campuses, towns, everywhere. It's growing EXPONENTIALLY.
My sister said this the other day: "Corporations and their lackeys are wondering how so many people have time to protest. How could they not? Corporations have taken their jobs away and impoverished them. What have they got to lose?"
I marvel at the amazing way ALL media is now reporting Occupy Movements thorughout the nation. WE who are unable to be present at Occupy protests, must do something, make calls, write, donate what we can to wherever.

3. We must make sure EVERYONE WE KNOW is well aware of what's going on with Occupy movements
WE must add ourselves to the movement, even if we can't be present, by spreading the message ourselves.
I put some quotes about the Occupy movements on my e-mail signature.
In fact, I need an extraordinary quote about it and am looking for one now.

8. If they don't get the hell out of the streets in 3-4 hours
then they are going to lose public support. Their right to free speech does not include the right to impede traffic. It doesn't matter to me if they wanna flood the streets at 5 am but they have no right to do that in full traffic at 8 or 9 am.
Lousy freeper troll.

I'm tired of people being scared of doing anything that might upset the powers that control this country. It's precisely all that fear that got us into this horrible economic situation. Time to shed that fear you're expressing. GET SOME COURAGE, FOR GOD'S SAKES!
She's tired of people being scared to do something, and all she is doing is sitting at her computer sending white light, and being there in spirit.

15. Oh save it
Impeding the streets while some people, perhaps ER doctors and nurses (who regularly work weekends) need to get to work is hardly peaceful or organized.
There are ways to get your message across without obstructing the streets. The protesters in Zuccotti Park are doing just fine. You don't see them jumping into the street and deliberately confronting the NYPD. Regardless of what you MAY think Sarah, people who aren't part of the movement but that are sympathetic to it are going to be TURNED OFF by this move. If these protesters are still in the streets at 8 am after the police have given them repeated warnings to move then most won't be sympathetic.

18. Basically, that's what civil disobedience is about. Or did you think revolutions were a garden
Edited on Sun Nov-13-11 08:15 AM by Sarah Ibarruri
party? Are you crazy? Civil disobedience is civil disobedience. If you don't like it, please know that the Repukes don't either. They want things to remain the same. You can join them and they'll welcome you with open arms.
GROW SOME COURAGE!
Yep real courage is sitting at home cheering them on. :mental:

21. You probably voted for Nader, didn't you?
Both times?
I wouldn't vote for that racist piece of shit ever.
I don't want to join the Republicans. Just because I don't condone street-blocking doesn't make me a Republican. I've voted Democratic my entire life, straight-party line.
This isn't a revolution, first of all. I fully expect most of the protesters to go away once the weather turns shitty.
I do know one thing, however. Making the news for clashing with police is not going to engender more public support for the movement. If you don't believe me, let's see how much news Portland gets, and then check polls on support for OWS among the American public in 2 weeks time. My guess is that support will have fallen.
You'd think that all this energy going into street-blocking would be BETTER served at volunteering for the local Obama campaign office (I'm sure there's one in Portland), which is what I'm putting MY time toward.

23. Nader is a horse's ass. However, I see that even Obama is powerless to change the shit
going on in this country for the past few decades. So you know what? This unstoppable movement will change things for all of us. Already the corporate media, which previously REFUSED to broadcast anything that went against the powers-that-be, is now being forced to report this movement, which, of course, only gives it free advertisement and causes it to grow exponentially.
GROW SOME COURAGE!

19. I think you're in la-la land and don't realize this is a peaceful REVOLUTION
Repeat after me: This is a peaceful REVOLUTION.

I LOVE OCCUPY PORTLAND!
As I watch the Occupy movement expand and grow exponentially throughout my country, I can't help but be amazed (and proud). I didn't think Americans had it in them.
I had begun to believe that Americans were a bunch of wimps, terrified, scared, servile, serf-like, and unable to fight the damage done to them by the corporatocracy that has controlled our country for the past few decades, from Reagan to the present.
The fact that this peaceful movement arose out of nothing, and that it is growing ever more, and that the corporate media can no longer ignore it, causes me to reassess what Americans are made of.
Our country once understood revolution. We practically WORSHIP the revolution we fought against the British. We once were proud and unwilling to bend down for those who would have us serve them without representation. And yet for decades we've been mute. Gagged. Appearing helpless.
Little groups that sprang up, attempted to approach the powers-that-be, ever so nicely, and they were given no respect, the media ignored them, their attempts fell by the wayside. It was as if they had not even existed.
Now, however, for the first time, there is a leaderless movement of the people, and this movement does nothing but grow and make itself heard. For the first time, the powers-that-be cannot ignore it, and any attempts to hurt it, will be recorded, photographed and spread. I do what I can. I talk to people about the movement, spread it via e-mail, have a quote about OWS on my e-mail that goes out to anyone I email. This is MY movement. OUR movement.
The powers-that-be are slowly losing their grip, thanks to this peaceful, ever-growing movement.
And I am SO proud of them.

Sarah, I have a word of warning to you because you seem too damn stupid to realize it otherwise. Your party has destroyed the economy. Because of your party many, many people are out of work. Most of the good and decent people of this country are already fed up with your party. With that in mind, if your idea of not being scared consists of blocking roadways you should be prepared to get your dumb ass ran over by people who are looking for jobs or trying to keep jobs and do not have time for your little "give me more free shit" protest.

I think Sarah's nice, decent, treats her good even though she treats him horribly, Republican boyfriend needs to start putting his woman in her place................. bitch, turn that feed off now and get me my breakfast, then go get my razor and shave my face, then start planning my dinner.

Sarah Imaboobi is in an uproar today.
My guess is that she's just been dumped by another boyfriend.

Yeah, Sarah--so peaceful cops are being sent to the hospital with injuries caused by your "peaceful" ****stick protestors throwing shit.

Sarah ended up putting drugwar on her iggy list. She is really over the top on that thread, and is just as condescending and arrogant as nadin.

http://www.aclufl.org/pdfs/right_to_protest_brochure.pd...
"The First Amendment does not protect speech that is
combined with the violation of established laws such as
trespassing, disobeying or interfering with a lawful order by a
police officer."
"If you endanger others while protesting, you can be
arrested. A protest that blocks vehicular or pedestrian traffic
is illegal without a permit."
After which, Name Deleted had his First Amendment rights stomped upon, several times. Where's THE DAMN JUSTICE?????

Apparently not important enough to get you off your no-longer-gettin'-any-luvin' ass, or Pitt out from in front of the TV. Not that your point is valid in the first place, but: do-nothing cheerleaders, not so important to our country.

"Civil disobedience", OWS style:
3 confirmed cases of rape
1 confirmed case of foot sniffing and attempted urine drinking
1 crapped on cop car
20+ injured police
rampant head lice & STDs
embezzlement
1 confirmed case of doing business with a company they are vehemently protesting
blocking traffic
crapping in public parks
living in said crap
graffiti
broken windows
damaged landscaping in parks
Doesn't sound very civilized to me.
