who hate Occupy and have vast power in city hall. OccupyLA, Occupy Skid Row, LA CAN, Occupy the Hood LA and other activism networks DO petition city hall, they have been in council chambers over and over, with zero effect. I hope it's better in your town. It's certainly not better at the national level: Obama signed HR347, making it a Federal crime with up to 10 years imprisonment, for protesting anywhere there is secret service present...then he signed permanent secret service protection for himself and W. Bush. DHS have LAPD targeting Occupy via the iWatch program (linked above). All we get is repression, as the repressors intend.
