Greetings from the encampment at the Ward's family home-

We are approaching our seventh week in front of the Ward family home who
are at risk of losing their home and their life savings due to real estate
fraud.  Four weeks ago we thought we had a break through when Bank of
America's Office of the CEO's chief negotiator said that they would resolve
the issue in a couple of weeks.  Two weeks ago they said one more week and
this past week they said one more week again.  I think that they are trying
to wait us out with the mistaken belief that we will eventually lose
interest.  They are wrong.  I decided to escalate our petition signatures
(the petition can be found
here<http://occupybirmingham.org/sign-the-petition-tell-bank-of-america-the-wards-wont-go/>)
to show we are not losing our focus.  I turned to Twitter and messaged 128
people I know asking them to tell @bankofamerica that the Ward's wont go
and asked them to sign the petition and to please retweet.  As I was
sitting in a parking lot taking advantage of the free WiFi 6 blocks from
the Ward home there were 82 retweets and I thought the tactic was working.
 Apparently so did Bank of America who reported me to Twitter for abuse and
had my account suspended.  So now I take to e mail!

I ask that you pleas sign the petition which is
here<http://occupybirmingham.org/sign-the-petition-tell-bank-of-america-the-wards-wont-go/>
and
to please circulate this petition to as many of your contacts as possible.
 If you would like to know their story, it can be found
here<http://occupybirmingham.org/occupy-our-homes/>.
 We need your help to let Bank of America know that we are not going to
continue taking their abuse and that we will stand up to them!  If there is
anything that we can do to aid you in your efforts please let us know and
we will do anything that we can.  You can also send Bank of America a
message via Twitter @bankofamerica .  Thank you.

In Solidarity,

Allyn Hudson
