Warm quality sleeping bags (plus waterproof covers for the bags) and closed cell foam sleeping pads are going to be essential for these folks to stick it out. Let's make it happen. Work your connections for all they're worth and let's get 200 warm sleeping bags, 200 waterproof sleeping bag covers and 200 closed cell foam sleeping pads delivered within the next 48 - 72 hours. It will make all the difference to keep a core group comfortable in the park.

200 pairs of gloves, 200 hats, 200 scarves.

Who's rolling in with kettles of hot soup in stay hot containers to keep their insides warm?

Who's mailing them books on non-violent direct action tactics? --- books by Martin King and Gandhi and Abbie Hoffman.

Who's mailing flashlights and batteries?

You get a job and buy your own 200 warm sleeping bags, 200 waterproof sleeping bag covers and 200 closed cell foam.(and while we're at it 200 pairs of gloves, 200 hats, 200 scarves)??? Are you a joke??? This is why nobody gets your message.It's your stupid attitude. Stop being depended on others. You want to achieve something, you make it happen. Stop depending on somebody else to solve your issues. Take responsibility. That's what your protest is all about right? Change the world, start with yourself!

If Hoffman was alive he would be laughing at fools requesting sleeping bags.

Ye gods what planet do these faux revolutionaries hail from. Why not ask The Pierre to donate a suite to you. Bunch of harmless fools that want a party sleeping bags mmmm children in DP camps do not have sleeping bags. Maybe Volvo could donate a station wagon so you could search out revolutionaries in Westchester?. Anybody real out there or just fools that want sleeping bags.

If Republican Martin Luther King were alive today he would be laughing his head off at you fools. Don't you see you're indirectly asking the very 'corporations' you resist to provide your supplies? No, I suppose you wouldn't.

I'd just seek out the computer area. Usually someone in leadership there.

Make sure that they are not, in any way, manufactured by millionaires, billionaires, or corporate jet owners...Thanks!
