Occupy Cape Cod starts its STOP FORECLOSURES actions

[PuraVidaDreamin]

Excellent day my friends. Almost all the towns on Cape have occupy groups. And many hold actions weekly on Saturdays, I heard Falmouth had
about 50 in attendance today. However in Hyannis, many activists from around the entire peninsula gathered in Hyannis outside of a BOA branch
to kick off our Stop All Foreclosures action.

The plan was to gather outside of BOA with signs for about an hour, then several groups of us would break out to begin leafleting this one particular
neighborhood that has bit hit especially hard by bank foreclosures. The leaflets explain our intention and ask interested parties to contact us or
meet with us at our weekly general assembly. We offer no garuntee but we have a committed group of people who will be able to gather in
a rapid response mode to pitch tents in yards on the day the sherriff comes to evict.

Two sweet women were to present to the branch manager a letter of our concerns, however as soon as the bankers saw us they called the cops.
Two newspaper reporters were with these two women while they tried to deliver the letter. The manager would not come out, they sent out a
security guard, called the cops, (of which 3 separate cruisers responded) THEN CLOSED THE BANK FOR OVER AN HOUR AND ONE HALF!!!!!
F'ing A- We shut down Bank of America!!!!! LOL.

The average age of we threatening all white bunch of employed and bathed hippies was @ 57 years.

Many stayed on the sidewalk outside of the bank while groups of us hit this neighborhood with leaflets, and placed them inside storm doors.
More than a few home owners asked groups inside wanting and needing to tell their stories. This is a high minority area, and these people
listened to us. They took x-tra flyers and I believe will will soon be moving into the next phase. My heart felt really full today looking
at all these wonderful human being willing to put it on the line. I've got hopes for humanity.

HYANNIS — The woman with the thick Brazilian accent shed tears as she described how Chase Bank may foreclose on her house.

A few doors away, an elderly couple said they just refinanced and are fine, "for now."

Many others living in the homes off Barnstable Road just said, "Thank God" and "That's the truth," as Occupy Cape Cod-Hyannis protesters knocked on their doors Saturday to discuss unfair lending and foreclosure practices by banks.

About 20 protesters started the day picketing outside the Bank of America by the Airport Rotary. The bank briefly closed and had the police move the activists from the property.

The protesters then walked down the roads behind the bank distributing leaflets and knocking on doors.

2. Thanks for keeping the heat on.

I suspect Occupy Boston will fold (for the winter) sometime within the next two weeks.

The BPD is getting antsy with all its foolish pronouncements, new rules and dos and donts lists.

I suspect another midnite raid is in our future.
