1. This comment is NOT meant to be sarcastic,but couldn't you just

get a group together and do it?

Again,no criticism intended.

[Richd506]

3. No offense taken

I'm just not really good at organizing honestly. I've tried to organize in the past and it never got off the ground.

[virgogal]

6. I wouldn't be good at getting it started either. Good luck to you. eom

2. Not to be wise ,but ' Roger and Me ' was the prequel to the awareness

just flow,thank God for men like Michael Moore!!!!

[Richd506]

4. I agree

Michael Moore is one of a kind. A real hero.

5. Contact someone at their website and inquire how you can get something started in your area.

If you belong to facebook you can then start a page on Occupy Detroit. Plus you can use google to find out if something is already planned. People in Pittsburgh are planning something for my area right now. And I am happy to say that Channel 2 News has been giving information every night so hopefully it will be a huge success.

[Richd506]

8. I am definitely going

I already have a sign made up for it too :)

7. Yes it is! Here's the info you need.

PLEASE BE AWARE: We are planning a PEACEFUL, NONVIOLENT action. Whether it is one day or 4 weeks! What we are planning to do is going to push the rules. Some of us could be arrested. Some of us could be detained. IF THIS HAPPENS, please go quietly and peacefully with the officers. We can only control ourselves, let's hope the police can control themselves. But DO NOT fight them!
Charges in civil disobedience situations are often dropped, if you are even charged with anything. These charges rarely cause problems with your record over time. Resisting Arrest will only add more charges! Remember, however, you cannot bail yourself out of jail!! Have a good lawyer or friend's number written on your arm!
Most of the people arrested in NYC last week were out of custody within hours. We sincerely hope that the Detroit Police Department understands that we are fighting FOR them, too!

Never forget that DISSENT is a Right, it is Free Speech. We have the right to disagree and make that disagreement visible!

9. Go grab as many people as you can and Occupy a public space that has great visibility.

You can do it, we are doing it here in Sacramento. Keep at it my friend, get people to show up everyday and it will catch fire.

I stand with you Detroit!

11. I appreciate your support! Onward we must go!
