Ridgely,
My name's Eric. I'm a middle-aged, middle-class PTA dad who participates in
Occupy DC because I want a better country for our kids.
*Today, the National Park Service brutally tased a peaceful, young Occupy
DC demonstrator. *This was a prelude to their threatened crackdown of
Occupy DC tomorrow at noon.
Watch here (warning: video is graphic). And please join me in petitioning
the National Park Service to leave Occupy DC
alone.<http://act.boldprogressives.org/go/6766?akid=6459.1158636.fB1nlN&t=3>
Then pass this email to others -- because the media will be at Occupy DC
tomorrow, and the more signers we have, the more they can report that the
public's on our side.
Until now, Occupy DC has been protected from eviction because the National
Park Service -- not the DC police -- have jurisdiction over us. The
National Park Service said publicly, "We don’t have any issues with these
folks" and "The core of their First Amendment activity is that they occupy
the site."
But last week, Republican Rep. Darrell Issa politicized the Park Service --
holding hearings where he pressured them to crack down on Occupy DC under
the pretext of enforcing camping regulations. The Park Service quickly
buckled.
We need to create our own pressure. Click here to tell the National Park
Service that First Amendment rights trump camping
rules.<http://act.boldprogressives.org/go/6766?akid=6459.1158636.fB1nlN&t=4>
*Then, pass this to others so we can show the media a public outpouring.*
Occupy DC is fighting the good fight in our nation's capital -- protesting
the Koch brothers, both political parties, and Joe Lieberman (last night)
for being part of a broken political system that is hurting our
democracy. Monday is key to our survival -- please stand with us in
solidarity.
-- Eric Lotke, Occupy DC participator and dad
