If enough people come to Tranquility before 8 pm Eastern on 10/26, maybe we can shorten the GA and get a good march together in solidarity with Occupy Oakland.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
Government for a redress of grievances."

Please to take note of the phrase "…peaceably to assemble".  When the assembly becomes a mob it is no longer peaceful and presents a clear and present danger to the public and the public expects those hired to perform their duty to preserve, protect and defend will do so.     

American Civil Liberties Union, otherwise known as the ACLU, sucks.One thing you have to understand about attorneys is that they have a reason for doing anything. Onereason for the American Civil Liberties Union is so that attorneys can filesuit in cases that they normally would have no standing in which to file. In other words, this is simply another venue by which attorneys sue others for profit and gain. By self proclamation, the ACLU convinces the public in general that they are the defenders of the American way. Whether you want to be defended or
not. The ACLU won't likely help your grandmother who has been evicted from her apartment, but they will defend several Islamic radicals who want to terrorize American travelers in the airport and in the air. If you really believe that the ACLU has your best interests at heart then feel free to contact them the next time you need the assistance of an attorney to help you stand up for your rights. You will quickly find that the ACLU doesn't have time for you or your case, unless it somehow aligns with their liberal agenda or there is money to be made. Attorneys profit from lawsuits because they are allowed to collect attorney fees. The ACLU doesn't operate on a shoestring, they are very well funded and have their hand out asking for money just as much as any politician and people like you. Who does the ACLU use those donations to defend? Well, the North American Man Boy Love Association, also known as NAMBLA, was defended by the ACLU. NAMBLA is an organization that very openly advocates homosexual child
molestation (man-boy love).The ACLU has also defended suspected terrorists and combatants of the United States military in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. There is nothing like your good intentioned donations being used to help someone plotting to kill your children.

The ACLU certainly doesn't act like any union that cares about American Civil Liberties.

Is Occupy Houston the only group in the world showing absolutely no concern over what happened to Scott Olsen? Austin is showing solidarity with Oakland. What's up?

I myself don't give a crap about Scott Olsen…And as far as the witness is concerned..Well being one or the occupiers what do you they will say…He was told to disperse along with everyone else and decided not to…When the Police order you to leave…Then leave…The parks don't belong to you to live in, trash. and create all kinds of unsanitary conditions ….And for Scott….He is a disgrace to the United States Marine Corps

What's up? No reply? Does that mean you know I'm right? Because I'm pretty sure you are the last one to realize it. Or more likely, will be.
