>> Once up on a time ? not long ago but right now!... in a galaxy ? not far

>> who tried to disrupt the City Life press conference two days ago.
>>
>> The People have organized a ?Rebel Alliance?.  Organizations like City
>> Life and the Bank Tenant Association have held Count Bankula at bay,
>> winning back homes.  A new powerful movement known as Occupy has emerged,
>> lending strength to the Alliance.  Together, they have formed the Jedi

>>
>> But Alas, the Rebel Alliance is confronted not only by the powerful Count
>> Bankula and his Wall St. Banks, but also by government agencies that have
>> been drawn to the evil side of The Force.
>>
>> On Monday, Dec.19 (TOMORROW), the Jedi?s plan to confront Count Bankula at
>> the offices of HUD.  It seems that HUD has insured some loans by Wall St.
>> Banks.  Upon foreclosure, HUD pays off those banks? loans and takes
>> possession of the home.  BUT, HUD requires that Wall St. Banks evict
>> occupants before transferring the property.  HUD is being captured by the
>> evil side.
>>
>> Tomorrow at HUD, we hope our testimony and strength will pull HUD back
>> from the cliff of the evil side of The Force.

>> (Our Jedi Knights accept everyone who wants to fight. Join us tomorrow at
