I hate when non-members breeze in & disappear, but

I'm doing it to you anyway. So sorry. We are down to the crunch in other groups too and I just have no time to read through your boards to see if you did this.

I have a message from an older middle-class Bethlehem liberal that says this:

"That’s a totally reasonable explanation, but it will affect turnout
amongst the non-hippies over 25. If something were put out there that
said something like “Occupation begins at noon and there will be a
meeting at 5, we plan to make signs and talk to passerby and discuss
politics and logistics, kids are welcome, restrooms are available
until 9 p.m. and we’re working on an overnight solution, Food Not
Bombs will have enough food for everyone, you should bring a water
bottle and a mess kit and sign-making materials, people will be
staying overnight and if you plan to do that you should bring your own
sleeping equipment, this is City-owned property and is legally open 24
hours but there is an ordinance that says you can’t camp in city parks
so the police might enforce that, etc.” [only with actual facts rather
than what I just made up since I’m not trawling the message boards]"

Someone had told her this was a show up and see what happens kind of thing.

I mean sure...but good luck putting that on a flyer and having people read it
