Hi,
I am Dan McMullan and for many years now I have been using sleep-outs and
Tent Cities to bring about change. The last one being ArnieVille last summer in
Berkeley that has been called the longest continuous protest by a disabled group
in U.S. history. The one thing that has been a constant through-out is the enmity
of the Chamber of Commerse. Behind every beating, ticket, jailing and broken
tents, awnings and bones is the Chamber of Commerse demanding police state
action against the very people that they want buying from their “look the other way”
merchants. We need to boycott every member that support the fascists of the Chamber
of Conmen. They drive the politicians, that drive the police, and the untold suffering
of millions of the dispossessed. I cannot think of many actions in my life that didn’t
come about by the mechinizations of the Chamber. They are always anxious to set
the blame firmly on the heads of the poor and downtrodden, the easy marks instead
of greedy landlords (which are often themselves) and a ugly police presence that no one
wants to shop in and is brought on by themselves. Yes the 1% are behind some gate
somewhere, but the Chamber is at City Hall, right now. Begging the Mayor to send
out the troops to kill you.
That is the God’s honest truth. Boycott every single member of the Chamber of Commerse.
I applaud your stance and I am going to reach out to those who are paid members of C0C and ask them to drop their membership w/ the Chamber and give them reasons why.
Thanks!
Mr. McMullan, you may want to edit your comment to correct the misspellings of the word ‘commerce’.
