Called my republican congressman today about #OWS ....

[Botany]

.... and I got the RNC/Freedom Works/American Crossroads/Chamber of Commerce talking points about
why the police and homeland security are moving across the country to shut down #OWS camps.

1) Drugs .... lots and lots of drugs being used @ the protests .... all kinds of deaths and O.D.s

2) sanitationing (my congress critter's phone worker's own words) needs to be done

3) "We" (her words) let you people have your say during the day so just go home at night.

4) #OWS is stopping free speech from the other side.

5) Other people are being kept from using the parks by #OWS

6) The Cities are doing this all on their own because it a local safety issue.

1. "sanitationing"....

:wow:

Thanks for making the call -- Congresscritters need to hear from OWS supporters.

[Botany]

3. She was young and very republican so I let her keep ...

saying that the camp grounds needed sanitationing instead of sanitizing. :evilgrin:

6. If only you had asked her to spell it for you.

2. #OWS is stopping free speech from the other side?

Hasn't the "other side" had unfettered freedoms of speech for about 30 years now? Isn't it time the 99 percent got to talk?

[Botany]

4. I asked her to give one example of stopping free speech ..

.... and she could not.

7. Gosh... she should have at least said she would round some up...

And get 'em to ya!

5. Everything they say is going on at OWS in New York goes on in New York Occupy or not.
