OCCUPY TULELAKE, CA— There has been such an out poring of support across the USA with the feeding of the masses in OCCUPY WALL STREET. There is a great story about feeding the Masses on MSNBC that is worth taking the time to read at
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44921688/ns/us_news-life/
The story is about all the support and donations coming in to the kitchen at OWS in New York at Liberty Plaza. Like OWS in New York I am sure that at the OCCUPY CITIES similar donations are taking place for the food kitchens in-order to feed the masses at each of the OCCUPY CITIES.

So many stories to share
OCCUPY TULELAKE, CA— Across the world and from coast to coast in the USA. There are so many people with their story to share of the hardships they are enduring. Before my eyes there are people on live streams and live chats around the world standing up for you and I. Those of us who cannot be there among them protesting, marching, chanting for a better tomorrow.
This is like a revolution where people are hurting so bad that their only recourse is to stand up and say, “I can’t take it anymore and I am not going to take it anymore.” A movement has begun. Where it will lead one can only guess where it will end up.
People are hurting they are losing their incomes, their homes, their cars and their dreams of a better life, not only for themselves but also for their children’s children. There are millions of people that wish they could be there too. Occupying from one city to another city park to park across the USA there are people standing up for you and I. Most people do not realize how close they are to being homeless themselves. People are living pay check to pay check and are only a pay check away from being homeless themselves.
There are people who have jobs that are putting their lively hood on the line by volunteering to do whatever is needed at the different cities that are being occupied. This movement is not a bunch of homeless people hanging out in a park or one big party. It is about all of us and that is what they are doing for those of us who are at home or live in a small town and cannot be there.
We all have a story to tell similar to those that are representing all of us who are unable to be there. We can do our part by talking to our friends and neighbors and spread the word about people just like you and I who have their stories to tell too. Times are hard and it doesn’t look like there is any light at the end of the tunnel. These brave people are taking our place but I know if it were possible we would be there too.
We are the 99% and so are you.

OCCUPY WALL STREET and Global Revolution Day
OCCUPY TULELAKE— As the chants begin. “Whose Street. Our Street” with sounds of drums and music as they march. Horns can be heard playing as they march down the street. United all things are possible. “Chase got bailed out, we got sold out”. “People united will never be defeated.” These are more of the chants on this march on Wall Street on Saturday October 15,2011. “We are the 99%” and so are you”.
The world is not going to take it anymore. Unemployment, losing homes, where the poor are getting poorer as the 1% gets tax cuts and are not paying their fair share in taxes. It is time they begin to feel the pain the 99% has been feeling. “Show me what democracy looks like, this is what democracy looks like.” “All day, all week occupy Wall Street.” Even more chants on this march today in New York City, Global Revolution Day. The whole world is watching.
While watching the live feed from New York on http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution where a limo could be seen in the distance driving down the street. How ironic is that? The 1% needs to start paying their fair share of taxes so the 99% can live a better life, instead of pay check to pay check all the while prices are going up for food and gas. And wages are going down. What’s up with that? It is time for the 1% pays their fair share. “The people are rising no more compromising.” “How do we fix the deficit, end the war tax the rich.”
On this march today there are Union signs as the unions have joined the march today on Global Revolution Day. I saw UAW signs in the crowds of people that are marching to get the point across we are not going to take it anymore.
There are over 5,000 people marching today in New York City and that is a rough estimate of the size of the protesters demonstrating what democracy looks like. With the march being on West Broadway and Frankly Street in New York City as the chanting continues. “Tax the rich, feed the poor.” “Whose street, our street.” The chanting continues on this march through New York City today to bring home the point the 99% is not going away, if anything the 99% is growing larger by the day. “Tell me what democracy looks like, this is what democracy looks like.” And that’s the point this is what democracy looks like. They are not just protesters they are occupying their cities, not just Wall Street but many cities across the USA today. They are marching in their cities today to show solidarity with one another.
A comment was made, break up the big banks, and end American imperialism. The march is now headed to Times Square as they continue on this march.
I am doing my part from small town USA by writing about what I see and hear. Small town USA is there in each of the larger cities with our hearts and souls. All it takes is a blog and the time spent monitoring each of the cities that can be found at http://www.occupyupdate.org
Even small town USA can do their part as I have demonstrated in this article today.

Transitional day for OCCUPY SEATTLE
OCCUPY TULELAKE, CA— There are over a 100 people at the General Assembly Meeting in OCCUPY SEATTLE tonight. Where they do Mic Checks and then everyone repeats what the person is saying by chanting their words so that everyone can hear what they have to say. Since there is no electric power for running amps plus it is more than likely not allowed without a permit for sound. They are discussing their concerns and giving updates on what is going on in the General Assembly meeting.
There have been lots of sleeping bags that have been confiscated by the police. On Saturday they need everyone at OCCUPY SEATTLE because it is strength in numbers. This is not just a protest but an occupation across the world to get the word out in many cities about the ills of this world that need to be changed.
We are united in a protest not against the city but a movement for our future. This is not about sleeping in the park but restructuring and starting to get information about the change that needs to come. This is not about holding a sign; it’s about cleaning up after yourself and everyone else. It’s not about the city; it’s not about the mayor it’s about change.
A permit was issued for one large tent for Medical purposes. There was no hot food at the park today and they had to remove tents. They took down the tents and put them up at city hall where there is access to restrooms.
There is a one to one police racial presence right now as I am writing this article. They are going to enforce the new sleeping rule; they are not going to enforce the no trespassing rule. They are going to arrest people that are sleeping or using sleeping bags.
Announcement: Mic check, mic check. “We must vacate so we are going to demonstrate. To form a demonstration and march in protest against being removed from the park. This is what democracy looks like. OCCUPY SEATTLE is marching in protest now.
OCCUPY SEATTLE is chanting, “Show me what democracy looks like, this it what democracy looks like.” All while blowing a whistle and beating on a drum while marching. They are now chanting “They got bailed out, we got sold out.” And now they are chanting, “We are the 99%, you are the 99%.” Now they are chatting, “We got sold out, they got bailed out.”
A comment was made since they are not allowed to sleep in the park they are going to march and protest not being able to sleep in the park. They are now heading uptown to continue the OCCUPY SEATTLE march.
“We are the 99% and so are you.”

OCCUPY SEATTLE
OCCUPY TULELAKE, CA— the movement is growing stronger by the day. OWS now has a web page called OcuppyUpdate, which is @ http://www.occupyupdate.org/
“Welcome to OccupyUpdate.org. We are dedicated to following the current Occupy Wall St movement as it spreads across the country. Because of the decentralized nature of the movement, facts on a national level can be hard to come by. Below is information that we gather and update as frequently as we can. If you have information to share with OccupyUpdate.org or see something on the site that you believe that may not be factual, please contact us at info@OccupyUpdate.org.”
I am presently in contact with Joshua who is in charge of OCCUPY UPDATE. Joshua just happens to be at OCCUPY SEATTLE. The same live steam and live chat that I am monitoring for this article. According to Joshua, “It's pretty awesome. Spirits are high, passer by's for the most part truly support what is going on.” Joshua went on to say, “I have a web developer who is helping with the development of the site. We should have a new site up by the end of the weekend with full blogging capabilities.”
On the OCCUPY UPDATE there are links to other cities that have live stream and live chat web sites. In other words just like me if you want to see what is going on with cities you are interested in checking out. You can go to the http://www.occupyupdate.org/

OccupyUpdate.org
OCCUPY TULELAKE, CA— “WHO are we? We are the 99% of Americans who have not benefited from the various financial bailouts, tax breaks, and other subsidies that the dominant 1% of the population have gained over the past several years. We are students, workers, veterans, the unemployed, those on Social Security benefits, and those whose savings and investments were either wiped out or greatly diminished by the economic fluctuations starting in 2007.
We are those who have had our homes foreclosed upon or are about to have it done to us, those whose homes are now worth a fraction of what we paid for them, and those who have never owned a home and don’t expect to ever be able to. We are the newly poor who wonder how everything for which we worked hard vanished so quickly and how we and our families are going to survive. We are the long-time poor, who have never had much of a chance, let alone a voice, to make our own way in our current social and economic system.
We come from all backgrounds, races, and religions. We are concerned about and more than a little scared by the directions in which we see our lives, and the lives of our families, friends neighbors going, the directions in which we see our nation and the whole planet going, and we are angry with those who have taken us in those directions. We are part of a much larger global and national movement that wants real changes in how the world is run. In short, we’re you, and you are one of us. WHAT do we want? We want an end to corporate money’s influence in politics, whether through campaign donations, PACs, or other groups. Money is not speech.
We want truly effective campaign finance reform, so that corporations and other interests have no overwhelming advantage over the rest of us in any part of American politics. We want far greater legal accountability for public officials and corporate executives, and we demand that, if found guilty of committing crimes while in office, they are made to pay for those crimes in full, like anyone else.
We want equal treatment from our justice system at all levels, and at every stage from investigations, through trials and sentencing for everyone, regardless of origins or social class. We want a moratorium on foreclosures, an end to the continual attacks on our social safety net and on the rights for workers to organize themselves and, if need be, to strike to get better pay, benefits, and working conditions.
We want secure and sustainable investments and improvements in our social infrastructure, like schools and libraries, and to create an America where everyone may actually live in a decent and dignified manner, an America where everyone's rights count and are respected by all. This is who we are and what we want. We ask for no more and shall take no less.
We are the 99%, and we will not be silenced.”

Four arrested from OCCUPY SEATTLE
OCCUPY TULELAKE, CA— Tonight I have also been monitoring OCCUPY SEATTLE at the following live web stream from http://occupystreams.org/item/occupy-seattle
Apparently tonight they were given yet another eviction notice to leave the park. Two people were arrested for having their tents in the park. There were two other arrests of two people arrested at City Hall. One was released and other one is still incarcerated. No charges have been filed against them. One of the arrestees has an appearance in the morning in court. OCCUPY SEATTLE has asked for protesters to attend the court hearing to show support.
The mayor says publicly that he is allowing the protesters to stay. OCCUPY SEATTLE has been offering to talk to the Mayor but he refuses to meet with OCCUPY SEATTLE.
But the mayor is willing to meet with the leaders of OCCUPY SEATTLE. The only problem there are no leaders as this is a leaderless movement. OCCUPY SEATTLE has offered the mayor to meet with the group collective but at this point has refused to do so.
In the meantime it seems everything is ok and they are doing fine for now. Except they cannot put up tents in the park.
I am getting encouragement from being is small town because right now there was a person by the name of Kelly who lives in a small town about 140 miles from Seattle and she runs the local news paper for a town population of 300 people. I live in Tulelake, CA with a population of 1000 and I am doing my part from here. In Kelly’s case she was able to Seattle to join OCCUPY SEATTLE. If and when Klamath Falls starts an OCCUPY KLAMATH FALLS, OR the closest major city 34 miles north of Tulelake, CA.
Over 200 people have been camping out at Bill Gates Microsoft. It has not been confirmed yet.
