Below are the Condensed notes for the Occupy Portland General Assembly for October 14, 2011. Full notes will be available within the next 24 hours. PDF and Text version can be found here and discussion can be had in the new forums.

Committee Announcements

Inreach:  will do surveys beginning tomorrow at coffee corner.

Outreach/Media: Small groups will meet throughout Portland area to peacefully converse with the broader community. 11am 10/15

Sanitation: concern for compost, landfill, etc. If you have trash, bring it to the kitchen and help by sorting it out.

Kitchen: thanks everyone for helping. Please come help us out, it is never not enough.

Media/Web team: new forums running on website much better. New features such as thread comments, temp checks, discuss/weigh in. Post idea/grievances to begin conversation. We need moderators!

Info & Facilitation: open forum process is idea generation for us. Mon-Fri begin 2:00pm-5:00pm. Get on stack to say idea or speak. Write idea down on board, people interested congregate to you. The idea is to get city of Portland to come down and discuss together.  All committees meet at 5pm, after they’ll announce their things from 5-6pm to the forum.

Passed Proposal:

Solidarity statements on the website with other occupy cities should not require GA approval, nor should factual events from sources.

Amendment, Different posts carry different byline so we know if its from a committee, GA, etc.

Tabled Proposal:

GA approved formation of Pubic Policy & Political Action committee. Tasked to formulate grievances to present to GA for political action.

    Flier to all Police and Military Personnel
    Remember when you signed up and in your heart swore to protect family, community, country and Constitution? What would you do if the leaders you started with changed even though their uniforms stayed the same? If it came down to between your job and the communities constitutional rights, where would you stand? How unconstitutional would an order have to be before you would refuse to comply? Is there a mechanism by which you could refuse orders and still keep your job? If you knew that there were at least 30% of your co-workers that felt this way, would that empower you? Remember when the USSR fell, Russia was still there. The same would be true if the USA was to fall. America would still be here. What kind of America is the question. If your orders become anti- family, community, humanity and unconstitutional, would you turn with the tax payers equipment you’ve been issued and face with the people at this time…?

    Print, photocopy and /or give to someone in the police or military you know
