I attended the Occupy Klamath Falls protest on Thursday.  I, my wife, two of my sons, my sister, and my niece made signs and went to town.  The protesters were gathering in a parking lot and as we joined them a little socialist stepped up and started preaching his socialism, using a piece of chalk and circles on a slate board to show the distribution of wealth discrepancy.

Then he started talking about free education, health care, and housing.  After hearing him call our country a “Democracy” a third time, I interjected.  I shouted the socialist down and made it clear that my Constitution was not going to be replaced with socialism.

388,000 more workers filed new unemployment claims this week and this is being hailed as a sure sign that we are in a recovery.  Question: What are we recovering from?  Remember we have been out of the recession since June of 2010.  Corporations have been and are making record profits.  Again, what are we recovering from?

Weren’t we in a recovery this time last year?  Has recovery become like a season?  Every fall during the harvest and Christmas commerce season we recover and then in the spring we have to pay for the recovery, you know, for all the Christmas gifts charged on credit cards.  And of course all the temporary jobs have ended and these people who will re-file for unemployment will have their numbers used to hide the fact that another million have lost their unemployment benefits at 99 weeks.

Today marks the two month anniversary of the beginning of the Occupy Wall Street protests.  Occupy protests will be held throughout our country and indeed around the world today.  Considering the corporate elite ordered attempts to shut down the protests for the Christmas season, every person who is able should be out on the streets today.  The corporate elite have flexed their money muscles, now it is time for us to flex our numbers.

I was amazed to see that every town in Oregon wherein I know somebody had a protest planned within fifty miles.  I will be marching on Wall Street and Esplanade in Klamath Falls, Oregon this afternoon and I am taking some people with me.  There is no excuse for anyone not doing something today.

At 1:00 am EST Tuesday morning, New York Police attacked the Occupy Wall Street protesters at Zuccotti Park, acting on orders from Mayor Bloomberg.  The protesters were removed from the park and the police set up a perimeter.  The protesters’ possessions were removed.

At 6:30 am New York Supreme Court Judge Lucy Billings issued a restraining order against the owners of the park, the police, and Mayor Bloomberg, ordering the parties to cease and desist and allow the protesters back into the park with their tents and sleeping bags.

The order was ignored and the police held the park.  Mayor Bloomberg stated that our Constitution, though it allows freedom of speech, does not allow tents and sleeping bags as a part of that freedom of speech.
