DAILY editions in this series can be found HERE
and up-to-date OWS Basic Info is HERE


OCCUPY BLACK FRIDAY
Let's take a day that is all about consumption and make it our own, and let's make it loud and clear that we will not support the corporations that destroyed our economy and undermined our Republic.Instead of a "Buy Nothing Day" we'll have a "Buy Local Day." Instead of buying a bunch of useless crap, let's instead go out and help the poor. Volunteer at soup kitchens and host toy drives and do the other charitable things that the government refuses to do. A season of giving instead of a season of buying.

Blanket the Earth
The idea: on November 25, the day after Thanksgiving, people will gather in designated spots in cities around the country where there are encampments of OWS protesters.
They will have warm weather gear to donate to the protesters. This can be blankets, socks, sleeping bags, hand and foot warmers, sweaters, or anything you think can be used to keep the camping protesters warm throughout the winter. The items can be secondhand (and clean, you know). New items can be purchased whenever, preferably not on the exploitative day coined by marketers as "Black Friday."
The goal here is to show our support not just through the kindness of monetary donations, but by being physically present to demonstrate that we're here for the protesters.

I've spent (8.00 / 1)
way too much time reading reviews at http://www.amazon.com/Defense-... the past few days.  I don't think I've laughed this much in years.  

THAT (16.00 / 1)
will be my 'above the fold' article here at firefly tomorrow!
& i have the perfect picture for it too!

thanks ever so much.
i'm off to laugh...

how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man?"
