Forum Post: Freedom to Protest Imperiled by Obama; Occupier Alert

This document is a work in progress. My goal in creating this document is to create a links and information page to be shared with other Occupy groups. As the Occupy movement grows, we will face continual persecution by corrupt political/corporate power structures (fascism, it is all one) for exercising our rights to peaceably assemble and protest. Right now, this will have a very loose form as I gather links and relevant information, so please bear with me. If you have a link you would like to share, please attach it to the comment section of this post. This is shared in our local FB group & if you are interested in following the thread, it will updated here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/occupytheberkshires/doc/118777761568528/
