According news sites, more than a quarter million dollars has gone to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Today I was at Zuccotti park and it doesn't look like a dime is going to its habitability. I refuse to continue donating if the people are not being helped appropriately. There should be better better modes of food distribution and better protection from the elements. If i can imagine something better than blue plastic hanging from the trees, OWS should be able to do so too.
Damn, that's a lot of money for what is actually a pretty small number of people (a few hundred at most). I have a growing suspicion that someone may bevmaking a lot of money off of this; who ensures that the donations find their way to the protesters? Hmmmm... Something may be rotten in Denmark...

1 percenter Billionaire Bloomberg confiscated your donations!!!
FALSE PRETEXT & CRIMINAL THEFT
From CNN: On Friday, up to 40 firefighters removed the group's propane tanks and six generators, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. That left the demonstrators to battle the cold weather seeping through their tents, blankets and sleeping bags.
FALSE PRETEXT: "These are fire hazards (and) against the law," Bloomberg said during his weekly WOR-AM radio show Friday. "Our first concern is safety." Demonstrators described the removal as an attempt to restrict Internet use and make their lives more difficult as a cold front moves into the region.
Billionaire Bloomberg's first concern is to squelch and trod on the 99%. Governments have always used the pretext of "Public Safety" to subjugate the people. Government claims to know what is best for you. Don't you think you know better what is good for you?
Please Call Billionaire Mayor Bloomberg that you disagree with his false pretext to crush the 99%.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg City Hall New York, NY 10007 PHONE 311 (or 212-NEW-YORK outside NYC)

The homeless are what causes the park to look like it does..
This guy would argue the opposite. lol

Take it up with Mayor Bloomberg, Brookfield Properties and the Fire Marshall. If you can't use gas-powered generators because they're somehow a "safety hazard", if you can't erect tents because it makes it too hard to see the splendor of the concrete everywhere, if you can't rent port-a-potties because that requires million dollar insurance, if you can't even lay down on a bench in a public space because being homeless is illegal, where is the real problem? The protesters doing everything they can to out-think Bloomberg's thuggish tactics, or the people who are using the letter of the law to make genuine free speech impossible after 10PM?
Gas generators, not fire walled from gas is a fire hazard. He saved OWS from blowing themselves up. Could file for a permit for a tent, and you can rent porta lories with insurance included. Or, file an llc and insure the biz. These codes exist for the benefit of all New Yorkers.
All your donations are belong to us.
that quarter million dollars is gone already and rumors are that it was mishandled. Occupy portland is trying to get a corporation going for their donations so its not mishandled. but you can still make donations of tents and sleeping bags and warm clothes (things that 'higher ups cant put in their pockets) and drop them off.
