Occupy Philly: “Eviction: Trampled by Police on Horses”
If those horses could speak, what would they say? They are being used as animal slaves to repress human slaves, and they would start a stampede to Wash DC if they understood that concept. OCCUPY the 2012 elections!

Philadelphia Daily:
Occupy Philly Protesters Arrested at Comcast Center
“As the sit-in began, Occupy Philly sent out on Facebook, ‘For locating its Headquarters in Center City, Comcast was given 42.75 million dollars from the State, and pays no taxes for the first 10 years. The construction firm that built the Headquarters, Liberty Property Trust, received 30 million dollars from the State. These subsidies and tax cuts could save the AdultBasic program that Governor Corbett has gutted, which provided over 45,000 low-income Pennsylvanians with health insurance.’ ”

Statement of Solidarity from Temple University Faculty“As faculty members at Temple University, we wish to express our solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement now underway in our city and elsewhere. We are proud to serve at a public university that has helped generations of Philadelphians, many of them the first in their families to attend college, to improve their own economic situations, to produce new knowledge, and to become more engaged in civic life. But we see that legacy under grave threat when we consider the increasingly difficult lives of our students, many of our faculty, and our neighbors in North Philadelphia. It is a threat born of a collusion between concentrated wealth and political power; Occupy Wall Street gives eloquent testimony to this dangerous alliance and offers some hope for a solution.” Read more…

Interview with Public Banking Institute Executive Director Marc Armstrong on Student Loan Amnesty
The Public Banking Institute: “Public banking was first introduced in America by the Quakers in the original colony of Pennsylvania. Other colonial governments also established publicly-owned banks. The concept was later embraced by the State of North Dakota, the only state to currently operate its own bank. “
SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania is joining the Occupy Wall St. movement “Our democracy has been 
completely corrupted by corporate greed. We need our elected leaders to represent us, not Wall Street. Did they forget that is was us – the taxpayers – that bailed them out, only to see CEOs give themselves million dollar bonuses?”

PW Blogs: Occupy Philly, Day 1: Occupation Gets Under Way; Protesters Ask for Donations ” ‘Most 
people are dissatisfied with the way our society has been for a while,’ says Shawn McMonigle, 24, also from Fishtown. He calls it modern-day colonialism: ‘It’d be nice if people weren’t dying for the comfort of some … We’ve been manipulated so long to be apathetic.’ ”
“Sofolawe and McMonigle said they and the occupiers were taking a stand in the Occupy movement in the name of peace, love and compassion, in recognition that many people in the world, in the country, and in Philadelphia suffer for the sake of the wealth of some. They say it’s not the political or economic system in isolation that’s the problem; it’s the individualism American culture breeds. ‘This problem affects all of us. It doesn’t matter what you do. It’s a sound fact that we’re all inter-connected,’ says Sofolawe.”
