Hey all,<div><br></div><div>OK, I'm going to put the kibosh on this right now.</div><div><br></div><div>We are not canvassing *for* Mitt Romney. It was suggested, by me (hey everyone!) in passing, at a Street meeting, that we could do a satirical pro-Romney stand-out or canvass or whatever in appreciation for Massachusetts state health care (i.e. Romneycare), which, among other things, has enabled broke-ass activists to be able to organize in voluntary poverty while still getting health coverage (case in point).It is not an endorsement of Romneycare. It is not an attempt to gloss over the many things that are wrong with that program, or to endorse Obamacare. It's a joke action, meant as political satire, to highlight the hypocrisy of stepping away from a controversial issue in an attempt to get elected. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Like many other ideas and proposals of this sort (which have spread through the rumor mill like wildfire and gotten quashed out of the gate) *this action does not yet exist.* It's an idea that was floated at a meeting, to get the creative juices flowing. Where's the trust, guys?? That said, if you have strong thoughts about it (or Mitt Romney, or about me, for proposing it) please come to the street meeting tonight at 5! We'll be discussing this, and everything else we might want to do for the NH primary. We hope you'll join us!</div>

<br>
A couple people from street were at the last meeting. We left it as they are going to keep InterOccupy up to date on their plans and we'll help with communications and spreading the word. I've also been in contact with Mark from ONH and I'm attempting to get an email out to all working groups, looking for people to go and aiding in transportation issues. (ie- we have cars going up that aren't full!) but I'm waiting for OBIT to give me total list serve mailing access.<br>
<br>
But a total aside.... Wait! What! We're canvassing for Mitt Romney as part of OB?! Downward sparkle fingers....<br>

Within Street, there have been discussions of a flash mob on Tuesday, and possibly also a canvassing effort in support of Mitt Romney on health care (who gets to participate in OB largely because we have state-subsidized universal health care? We do!) Let's coordinate and make some plans together!<br>
