Politcal Animal: Note on American Jobs Act

In effect, what the Senate will vote on tonight is whether they can have a debate on the jobs bill. That’s all this is, a vote to allow a discussion. Republicans will, of course, filibuster the motion to proceed — a concept that would have been considered patently ridiculous not too terribly long ago — even before having an opportunity to filibuster the bill itself.

Occupy Wall Street: Solidarity with Boston

Occupy Wall Street would like to express our support and solidarity with both the people of Boston and the 100+ arrested at Occupy Boston last night. We commend them for their bravery in standing their ground at great personal cost to assert the right of the people to peaceful assembly in public spaces.

Occupy Fort Wayne: Organizational Meeting

We will be rolling the ball further on working groups, finalizing any plans for Saturday that may need further address, and welcoming representatives from the Mayor’s Office, the police, the Parks Dept, DID, and any other pertinent authorities who choose to come have a conversation with us — to come to an understanding on how to make this a peaceful occupation.
