The Twins Occupy Casa Grande

The twins turned 86 in April. I know them as Mom and Aunt Lena. With assistance from my brother, they made a whole bunch of signs and set out to show solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement, and to protest the fact that the Senate failed to pass the Jobs Bill.

They happily waved signs for hours in this town 40 miles south of Phoenix, despite the 95 degree weather.

They reported a lot of enthusiastic honks and waves especially after 5:00pm and went home at about 6:00 pm.

9. the whole point

of using "nt" is to put it in the subject line to denote NO TEXT in the body of the message.

Just so you know...

a damned hippie taught me that...

6. Pls tell them congrats for me.

I am very happy to see them, and their spirit.
YOU are very lucky to have such great role models!

7. Nice to see the blueshirt cop there

He's watchful but he's not bugging anyone and people around him seem to be giving him room to do his job.

Ordinary police are working stiffs, too. They're not our enemy even though they're given stupid orders they have to obey if they want to keep eating.

Edit: cooperating now will set up conditions for them to switch sides later.
It's happened before. Going out of your way to piss them off is just not going to work and is going to reinforce the fact that we're "them," not people in solidarity with all working people.
