Having officially declared Civil Action as stated above in Camden County New Jersey.

We are seeking the assistance of our brothers and sisters in Philadelphia.

Unlike the city of brotherly love…
Camden County, New Jersey is not acclimated to civil protests.

During my experience at Occupy Congress NJ Broad St. and Cooper St. Woodbury NJ over the last 2 weeks.

It seems, like the people of Camden County NJ are afraid to occupy and need some encouragement from our brothers and sisters from the City of brotherly love Philadelphia PA.

We the people of Occupy Congress NJ are seeking your help.
I feel we need our big brothers and sisters of Philly to attend and help South Jersey get organized and going. Please.

I am inviting Occupy Philly to use our website resources for our common causes.
Our open forum message board can be extremely valuable in coordination of our combined efforts for our region. NJ-PA-DE

Once, organized with your help.
We will have fund raisers and food collections etc..
For both of our causes!

Please contact me directly:
Respectfully, Sister Star

Well, it looks very likely that I will lose my house. I’ve been through Naca, even called Jamie Dimon’s office. I’ve been paying steady, but its those months that I was out of work that are killing me. It seems the only way to save the house, is to come up with 12,000 dollars or 24,000 dollars. Chase does not want to work with me at all! Believe me, I am trying everything in my power, saving every dime, going to any & all lengths to try to save my home. (But) so far, no lucky, only heavy worry. Anyone out there got any ideas? Please help! I’m desperate!! I can be reached at 215 495 3316.

Occupy Philly has grown. In just over a month & a half, we have grown beyond a singular expression of protest. We have evolved into a pure expression of the 99% movement. An inclusive platform for social justice and community development aimed to include all who are willing to work for the changes they want to see take shape.

We are a community and a family. We are all leaders standing shoulder to shoulder as a wall in opposition to the greed which has marginalized the American populace. Regardless of this crisis, we remain optimistic and energetic. We are determined and committed. We are united. The sentiment of our discontent binds us to a duty, and we are driven to achieve our goals. FOCUSED!

Let’s get back to work!!!

Occupy Philly & Reasonable Solutions Committee are committed to progress through Logic, Reason, & Common Sense. We are working towards long-term Economic Justice & Community Development initiatives, as well as finding answers to the everyday problems & logistical concerns that affect the citizens of Philadelphia, Occupy Philly and the 99% movement.

Looking around I found and researched some 60 Patented devices that have all been simularly shelved. Some Repressed inovators Threatened, Beat up, Shot, Killed for pursuing humanitarian methods to reveal their artfull creations. Watch THRIVE for the 5,00 streaming fee, it’s an expose…

Every product we consume requires energy to produce and inovation has been suppressed too. For Years now, Colleges and Universities have suppressed the Science, Patent Offices have only reluctantly pantented technologies while Patent Trolls and the “TOO BIG TO FAIL” Corporations have bought up and shelved the ideas to keep the 99% poor and on the tread mills of the Capitalist Elite. Do the research yourself… One that comes to mind is Howard Johnson who Patented a Magnetic Powered Motor that after you gave it a nudge it ran on it’s own. It was destroyed by a Vandal in a few days…

I am from Occupy Corpus Christi, Lonnie McVaigh – The Paterfamilias- I understand the repression and have a like spirit though being older, not quite the energy. I want to pass on important findings I’ve made. On 11-11-11 a video came out on the net for free at U-Tube called “THRIVE” by Foster Gamble of the Proctor and Gamble Family, he’s probably a Billionaire who knows… Anyway he produced for he says 8 Million Dollars the film and was giving it away on U-Tube but it was taken down and suppressed, but I seen it 2 times and have studied his info. It’s correct at least about the suppression of free energy devices and not a hoax.

Comment on Resolution for the Revolution State by Dan Walker

Dan Walker — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:44:38 +0000

Minor point: grammatically, this needs to be cleaned up. (Personally, I could not care less about grammar for grammar’s sake–if your point’s clear, language has done its job–and I think criticism of grammar is almost always a lazy, dishonest excuse for actual substantive argument. That said, the fewer mistakes this contains, the less critics will be able to evade its content.) Notably, “whereas” sets off a subordinate clause; it’s not a way to begin the main clause of a sentence, as has been done here. In my opinion, this is actually rather distracting.

I dont like this at all. It does not address “lobbying” specifically, which is at the heart of the corruption which is ruining our political system. Lobbying should be outlawed. It also does not address directly the economic disparities caused by the fact that the rich and corporations do not pay their fair share of the taxes.

Better to be an anarchist than to support Obama and get tricked into thinking that the Democrats care about the working class.

Two party system has to go.

Comment on Resolution for the Revolution State by Doug

I love #1. Personal and collective responsibility must be a foundation of our recovery. I’m a little unsure of #2. I realize that the banks acted in a predatory manner in lending money, however many borrowers share the blame for their being “underwater” because they took on more debt than a reasonable person should have. It seems that #1 is, to some extent, in conflict with #2. I also don’t think it makes sense to ask a bank that needed the TARP, to then increase the financial hole they’re in by writing off the difference in property value of the mortgages they hold. Should we then go after the sellers who sold the house for more than it was worth? We were all responsible for the bubble. Responsibility for fixing it belongs to all of us, not just the banks. I’m open to listening to someone who understands the issue better than me. I don’t understand #4 at all. I approve of all other resolutions.

If I could change the world
If I could change the world everyone would be at peace, I would make peace, it would all begin with me. I would stop wars far and near, save lives from drugs,
that’s a war we can’t bear, children losing their lives, can’t play on the streets.
If I could change the world, no tears would flow from your eyes, there would be happiness all around and peace of mind, there would be food for the hungry and
roofs over their heads, different countries would stop and say, let’s stop fighting and be at peace, let’s try to hold hands and help our fellow man, we don’t want to face God with blood on our hands. If I could change the world, no bad words would be said, there would be love for one another and extending our hands.
If I could change the world, there wouldn’t be no darkness in the land, when I think of blindness, somehow it makes me sad, everything would be beautiful for the eyes to see, nomore being scared to walk the streets, If I could change the world,
what a day that would be, I would be happy knowing the world was at peace.

Thank you William. Point well taken. I was totally unaware of the distinction between ‘anarchists” and “Black Bloc” anarchists. It’s the Black Bloc folks I’m worried about. Wish you the best with your work at OP. Anne

Do the NYPD and Oakland cops not fail to “man up” when they bring their guns, armor, batons and general mercenary tactics to deal with nonviolent protesters.

Anne, I think you may be misinformed as to what an anarchist is. There are many different varieties of anarchy. The ones you are referring to are probably what are commonly called “Black Bloc” anarchists. Black Bloc use tactics such as rioting and property damage to make their points. Their roots can be traced back to the Russian Nihilist movement of the 19th century.
When you see a General Assmbly in progress at most Occupy demonstrations, that is Anarchy. Anarchy is a form of self-governance without the concept of the State. It usually involves direct democracy instead of electing representatives and relies on collectives run by the people instead of a State.

I think Steady Dan makes excellent points! This movement has to be flexible or else it will become rigid and easy to break. When I was in college in the early 1980′s I was part of a college occupation to protest the institution’s investment in South African dealing companies. The administration in effect, pitted one set of students against another.
