@maxpolitics Just wanted you to know that I spoke with William and it was a very interesting conversation. He’s an interesting fellow to say the least. I will try some of his suggestions regarding the site to see what success I have but I truly believe my limited intranet quality is hurting my cause. I will be heading to Az at months end for a visit with my kids and grandkids so I’ll be interested to see what changes in the site I might enjoy.
Thanks again, Paul

OCCUPY D.C. RAIDED, DEAD RATS, SANITATION
VIOLATIONS CITED AT PARK NEAR WHITE HOUSE

By Art Vinsel

There’s an old saying about the poor not having a chamber pot nor a window to to empty it, but U.S. Park Police saY they found many brimming containers–and dead rats–in Saturday’s dawn raid on Occupy D.C., almost next door to the White House.

A phalanx of 100 police, some in yellow haz-mat suits for handling contaminated waste on and cops on horseback, to keep order cleared the tent city dating to Oct. 1 at McPherson Park, a week after squatters were ordered to leave. The federal District of Columbia is unique in permitting vigils and demonstrations in and around such sites 24 hours a day, provided there is no camping or evidence of ”housekeeping,” cooking or habitation.,

Park Police Sgt. David Shlosser recalled a woman who stood a 30-year daily vigil across the street from the White House, but was perfectly within the law.

”This is not an eviction,” said Sgt. Schlosser, whose department supervises hundreds of protests and rallies and is dedicated to the letter of the law concerning the constitutional guarantee of First Amendment freedom of expression and assembly. He said Occupy D.C.had broken the law, as evidenced by bedding, cooking utensils and urine containers, indicating there was illegal habitation occurring. They can legally put up a tent, but do nothing in it, which sort of defeats the definition of camping, that which constitutes the violation.

Eleven persons were arrested for refusing to cooperate in the Park Police inspection of each tent and many were dismantled and confiscated along with urine-soaked bedding. Dead rats were also collected from the illegal site to be burned.

One policeman at the scene was injured ehen hit in the face by a thrown brick and treated and released from a hospital. Most demonstrators were peaceful and many had tents cleared of any evidence of occcupiers illegally occupying the site.

Protester Lacy MacAuley, 33, of Washington.D..C. pitched her tent one night in early October and then decided sleeping at home was preferable and lent it to a friend for the duration.

She came by Saturday and called out to police that she had better get her tent back undamaged.

”I don’t think they’re doing anything wrong here,” MacAuley said. ”They (police) should be checking these office buildings down there on K Street and the White House and Congress…it’s sad.,” she concluded.

Just a footnote as we are looking at Romney, Nevada, and the presidential campaign…. President Roosevelt came into office with a bad economy…Every program he tried to get the economy rolling again failed. Everyone…. He went into the next election cycle with poor economy and a bunch of failed programs and was reelected.

Polls say Obama is liked by over 40% of the voters who also think he is doing a good job as president…. So we can assume he has those votes…. (I do at least.) So he really doesn’t need to pick up that many more supporters to win…

The stories told by the news media and others is that he will be turned out of office… That voters will want anyone but Obama….They point to the Reagan win over a siting president…. Reagan be Reagan… And if we didn’t have term limits he still might be president. (Dead or not.)

Romney is not a Reagan…. I wish he were. I wish some one was…Or anyone at this point…

Federal government can’t be repaired by tweaking any longer. Much more than a face lift is needed. We need a bold leader with courage and a congress just as bold.

I was listening to a news program (political of course) and the man was pointing out that in Romney’s campaign he hasn’t spent five minutes saying exactly what he would do as president… He responds to the question by saying go read my web site. (I guess I hadn’t really noticed..) I may go to his web site soon or later but I really would like to hear him say what he would do as president….. I want to hear him draw the contrast between him and Obama.

Oh Well… Soon Obama will start drawing the differences.

Big game today…. We need some distraction… Ron
