On Thursday, "Occupy Dallas"

All of this 'Occupy (whatever)' business looks like the left's version of the Tea Party...

Most of the BUMS that go to these commie pinko events are idiots that got us Obama. Spare me...while you are Occupying Dallas....Im smoking a doobie and donating to the Republican Party.

I'd go in a heartbeat but i can't get out of work on such short notice.  the irony, it burnnss!

WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS NOW IS HOPE http://www.theburningplatform....

This is great, but I hope these socialist brats take a bath before coming downtown.  They also might think about getting rid of the 9/11 truther and Hitler signs.

Is a follow-up story coming on this article?  I read somewhere that there wasn't going to be valet parking, so I sent someone to protest in my place.  Would really like to read about it and/or see photos of my stand-in protester.  

At the very least, I'm assuming no arrests, etc....

this "we are the 99%" crap is really obnoxious. are you the 99% that took cash-out reverse mortgages so I could buy a new car and take a vacation. 

It's really sad that Dallas Observer staff like this one are just too stoned to give a damn about anything.  

Why so flippant about such serious issues?  Or are you rich enough as a journalist that you can continue to feed your family and yourself.  There are too many of us who have no job and no hope of keeping our homes....this is not a joke.  I, as a 67 year old senior will march as part of the 99%.

If you're clueless about the issue please open your ears to Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert http://maxkeiser.com/2011/10/0...

Expect Us

I am THERE! 

Corporate transparency, accountability and penalties for unethical business practices.  Incorporate humanitarian rights and environmental ethics into your CBA for the sake of the future of our species!   

I've been surfing all around these sites and have been noticing more and more trolling by Ron Paul activists. If representative Paul is for this movement (besides doing away with the federal reserve) let him come out and make a national statement, The mission statement is well presented on multiple sites. Everybody is welcome no matter what political persuasion you are, just don't try to hitch a ride on our bandwagon.

To anyone going, take a good look at the Occupy Dallas Facebook page or PerceptionVsReality's post on here to get a grasp of the demands. Study them, memorize them. It's also a good idea to do business casual for the protest. It's a lot harder for the media to dismiss a bunch of organized people with a coherent message politely protesting in polos and khakis than it is to ignore the ragtag bunch of misfits in tie dyed hemp shirts and djembes they imagine us to be.

Here comes the storm.

It isn't a "one-off" it is a continued occupation once it begins.

I am 42 years old.  I have a degree in Biology I also have 7 felony convictions ALL for Marijuana.  I have never had a job that paid more than minimum wage and I have not had a job at all in almost five years. My wife has a degree and 10 years experience in her field she is back in school because all she can find right now is minimum wage jobs.  If my father hadn't died and left me a paid off house and truck we'd be living in a box.    Because I am a drug felon I cannot get food stamps or any type of assistance.  I cannot get a a Pell grant or any type of financial aid because they are forbidden to drug felons. Someone who has raped and murdered a child, done their time and gotten out of prison is eligible for food stamps and educational aid.  I have been denied of my basic human rights.  I know I am not alone, there are millions like me.  What would the establishment do if everyone like me suddenly became organized and decided we are not going to take it any more?  I think we are about to find out.

How to further your involvement:

First... tomorrow at noon a small group of us will meet at the Cafe Brazil in Deep Ellum to discuss some logistics. We will be scouting the area for parking, restrooms, food and medical area prospects. We will engage local business owners if possible and inform them personally of the march and ask for their support and if possible, their aid. We'd also like to find a place with power and wifi where we can set up a media center. Protesters will be constantly feeding this center with images, video and information for live blog feeds.

Monday, October 3, 2011 - 7:00pm El Centro College, 3rd floor C398, 801 Main St.We will discuss civil disobedience, marching routes and the creation of committees and volunteering of committee members.

Wednesday, October 5th 7:00pm - 10:00pm. 1408 N. Washington Ave.  (Parking lot and picnic grounds) Civil Disobedience Training for the demonstration 'OCCUPY DALLAS!'

And to answer your question:

"In that case, why not Bank of America too"

This was mentioned several times today. I've suggested a boycott and will probably have signs available for those who wish to support it. They're crooks.

I just moved to this area from San Diego.  So glad to see Occupy Dallas exists.  At least this area isn't just full of Republicans.

I am the 99% and I will be there, too.  It's time for things to change.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

How about the "class warfare" being waged on the middle and lower classes so that the rich can give themselves another bonus for destroying our economy, kicking familes out of their houses so they can buy another yacht or high end sports car.  

I'll be there Oct 6th for occupy Dallas.  Government belongs to the people, not the corporations. 

I will be there on weekends. Remember, Thursday is just the beginning...not a one-time event.

Hi Larry Johnson Jr.  If you'd like the bankers to keep giving themselves bonuses, bailing out Europe (again) and foreclosing on your friends and neighbors homes - all with your money - because after all, you are paying for these actions - please don't attend since you're "taking responsibility for turning our country toward a healthier direction".  Honestly Larry, once you educate yourself on how unsavory, unethical, unfair and baseless the entire American monetary system is you'll wish you had taken the day off to show up. But that's just my opinion.  Yep, everybody's got one.

Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in taxpayer funded bail outs, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither. We are the 99% and we will not be stopped.

Ill be there and I'm bringing as many people as I can!!!!

I am not a "trustafarian" nor am I "leeching" the system by utilizing the food stamps I qualify for. I am a hard-working mother and full-time student, bustin' my ass and wondering why I even bother. When I get that law degree I'm working towards, will there be a job for me? If a job does materialize, will unregulated Wall Street schemes bankrupt my retirement before I get there? Will my 2 daughters grow up in the 2100s or the 1800s? Venting my outrage online is no longer sufficient and it's time to walk the walk. If you've had enough, I'll meet you in the streets on October 6th. 

We are the 99%. We are tired of the top1% violating our civil rights, destroying our economies, hoarding the wealth. We will no longer allow families to be kicked out of their homes while large corporations get billions in government bail-outs.

This is awesome. Be there!
