Port Shutdown gets attention of Target, Walgreens, JCPenny, Crate & Barrel
Rocky shores: Representatives from Target, Walgreens, J.C. Penney, and Crate and Barrel tell Oakland port commissioners and staffers they’re prepared to bypass the city – and ship all their overseas merchandise through Los Angeles – if the locals can’t control the Occupy situation. The reps point out that 40 percent of their imports come through Oakland, and say last week’s shutdown cost their companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in missed shipping deadlines.

Make Goldman Sachs pay
http://ukuncutlegalaction.org.uk/ Can you help us raise £20,000? It’s alleged that David Hartnett, the government’s top tax man, who loves to be wined and dined, met Goldman Sachs’ top brass in October and with a handshake agreed that the bank would be let off paying £10 million owed to the public purse in interest on an unpaid tax bill. To challenge this back room deal, UK Uncut Legal Action, with the help of law firm Leigh Day & Co, is threatening legal action against the HMRC unless this dodgy and unfair decision is quashed. … Continued

End Corporate Rule
On January 21st there will be a rally in Sacramento to bring attention to the Citizen United Supreme Court Decision that money equals free speech. Corporate money in politicians’ pockets is the root of so many of our problems, including the most recent bill that allows American citizens to be detained in military prisons for indefinite amounts of time because someone decides s/he is a terrorist. I am seeking people to co-sponsor a proposal for Occupy Oakland to endorse this rally. There will be rallies nationwide. As you know, the … Continued

Netigrating the Naturally Normal
Occupy holds every component necessary to the solution of all the challenges it can identify. The bravery depicted by all the Occupiers until now proves a full readiness to initiate the transformation that 100 percent of those consciously connected to the movement know to be the natural birthright of us all. Physical occupation of the streets makes the right point but please glance out to the logical potential next steps. One might be to identify and even announce the naturally expansive schedule of take downs in the form of nationwide … Continued
