STRENGTH IN DIVERSITY
POWER IN UNITY We are workers. We are black. We are straight. We are Hispanic. We are men. We are White. We are gay. We are rich. We are women. We are unemployed. We are Middle Eastern. We are poor. We are white. We are students. We are people of faith. We are struggling. We are active. We are Asian. We are atheists.
We are everything in between. We are many.
WE ARE THE 99% and WE ARE UNITED against the greed of Wall Street that has damaged our economy, destroyed our jobs, forced foreclosure on our homes, polluted our environment and corrupted our democracy.

Now, as the citizens of America, we must rise up and take what is ours. Enough with corrupt government! Enough With corrupt banks! Enough high tuition, Enough with a society that is not ours! It is time to do what is necessary to take back what is ours! We are the people of America and we will not allow the dictation of this country to be waived in front of our face like a carrot on a string. Take hold of what is ours and make a change!
Action leads to bloodshed. Bloodshed Leads to a revolution
Take what is ours, RISE UP!
Marxism is not the answer.

The wolves are embedded and soon will dance.
I applaud this message of diversity, and see it as belonging to the true political and social message and meaning of the Occupy Portland movement.
I plan to be there and look forward to meeting people

We, the people of America, believe in the RULE OF LAW and frankly don’t take kindly to folks who call for violent revolution. Violent revolutionaries are very unpleasant people as they scare children, ruin furniture and generally make it difficult to get back and forth to work.
So please, shut the hell up about your violent uprising, take a badly needed bath, change your major to anything but one of the liberal arts so those frustrated totalitarians you call teachers can put something useful into your soft, mushy, easily molded and distorted mind.

You are criminal,
You are immature,
You don’t represent me,
You have already divided us.
Throwing stones at police officers is not the answer. It is very easy for us humans to make war – and so difficult to make peace. With open hearts and minds we can be strong together and speak loud. Let the 1% continue to see that all of us, teachers, police officers, social workers, parents, custodians, unemployed, families on welfare… are deeply affected by the decisions they are making. I encourage all of us to continue our “fight” with peaceful demonstrations and actions and not quit until we are heard.
Is it true that potluck at Pioneer Square @ 5 pm, tonight and march to main campsite afterwards ??
The wolves will be rounded up and shot should they attack
It has been very interesting to monitor both Occupy Portland’s Livestream and the live police scanner app for Portland Police today. I feel as though it has given me an at least slightly better idea as to what to expect as the two worlds come together more tightly today. Remain informed…
