October 18th - What the Media Tries to Spin

OBAMA: 'WE ARE ON THEIR SIDE'...


GALLUP: Most Americans Uncertain About 'Occupy'...


Seattle Occupier Busted Exposing Himself to Children...


Kidnap, rape in Cleveland...


Police Worry Protests Will Disrupt World Series...


Thieves preying on fellow Wall Street protesters...

These were the headlines on the Drudge Report this evening. These 6 headlines are what the people are seeing in regards to the Occupy Movement. How can we deal with this? If we see any wrong doings, we must police it quickly and with respect for the law, sending these people directly to the proper authorities. These sorts of things are the quickest way to bring down the movement. If the authorities will do nothing, we will know were they stand.

October 17th - Why We Exist

It seems I'm being required to constantly defend myself and the movement as to why we're doing what we are. Why we stand outside for hours at a time, why we march around town, why we spend hours typing out papers, performing research, and creating networks of people who want their voice heard. Often these accusations come from strangers, but family and friends seem to play a big role in forcing me to defend myself as well.

So I've decided to make a list. These are the things I know I'm angry with and most likely cover a good base of the population. They are not in order because everything on this list deserves to be corrected, the order in which they are corrected matters not so long as they are corrected.

October 15th - Occupy Medford in Alba Park

Today was the first meeting for the Occupy movement in Medford, Oregon. I arrived roughly 45 minutes after people had started gathering in Alba Park across from the Medford Post Office. Shortly after my arrival began the open session where people with a desire to be heard were able to speak to the Medford movement as a whole.

I immediately began to take notes on the points within each speaker’s conversation so as to gain a picture of the Occupy Medford’s persona. With roughly 30 speaker’s participating, the topics covered a variety of areas.
