Occupy Wall Street is coming to Fort Wayne on October 15th.
Although an exact location is not given, ‘downtown’ is listed as the venue. The movement has a Fort Wayne website which you may access here and a Facebook page here.
There is an organizational meeting tomorrow at 5 pm:
Monday Meeting at The Union Hall at 1427 Broadway
It is important that you try to make this meeting we want everyone’s input. We are working on streaming this event live so that members who can’t be there in person can still be present.
This brings me to the next issue. Anyone with experience streaming live video online please contact Plutoseagle Ab Brand on Facebook. We would like to set it up that many people can view the video online live and be able to add their input to the meeting live.
We’re looking forward to hearing from everyone and working together to form and guide ‘Occupy Fort Wayne’. You opinion counts and we respect you ideas.

Stephen: Are you directly involved in this? If so, WHY? Misdirected efforts – should be an “Occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW in Washington DC” !!!
John – as with most things I publish here, no, I am not involved.
Kalb: I’m going to venture a guess that you’re one of the people that are grossly misinformed about the movement then?
Krugman has a good take on it – https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/10/opinion/panic-of-the-plutocrats.html?_r=1&ref=columnists
Christopher: No, I understand only too well! Except maybe I should have suggested “Occupy Washington DC”! Yes, the fellows on Wall Street and those in CEO positions are getting a better deal than the rest of us – BUT, who is responsible – it’s the lawmakers, POTUS and congresspersons who set up the methods to achieve this better deal SO THEY CAN BE FUNDED FOR REELECTION!! Blame the one’s who make the laws – not those who benefit from them!
John, you can’t ignore the lobbying and the election-funding. These corporations and the financial industry are buying the politicians, and need to be held responsible as well.
I must say that both statements are very true and everyone responible should be held accountable. This, I hope, is just the beginning of the people’s voice. We are the people! We are the real corporation in this country and it’s time we make it known. The people have suffered and struggled long enough and now its time they know what the hard working people of this country are really going through!
The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer has an event at Headwaters Park on Saturday October 15. While I support your cause, it is bad timing. I think something like this will be a distraction to a day that has been set aside to raise awareness about breast cancer. Seems a bit selfish to me.
