I've been calling around all morning trying to rent a single tenor drum, or a set of doubles. Apparently I am not the only person who had this idea.
Bummer.
I'm not giving up on the drum.
The scheduled march/ peaceful protest for next Saturday has been all over the news. And, to be fair they are showing how the movement is HUGE all across America and they (the news) are giving it good press. Local news has said nothing bad, nor shown anybody being arrested. It's all peaceful.
World news and Nightly news only want to show the bad. So there you have it. It is being accepted largely as good. The President is coming here
this week to sell his
Putting America Back to Work program. This is a large Union City who has been feeling corporate america squeezing out the unions. Perfect timing for him and the Occupy Wall Street Campaign to be coming here. People are excited.
Maybe I am naive, but I am not anticipating rioting or outlandish behavior.
Our police, fireman and paramedics unions have been squeezed (we know how dangerous that is) . I'm hoping more details are released about that so we can be seen and heard with our signs when he comes.
I wrote my letters to my senators, republican and democrats, and basically I let them know I was not happy about all of the in fighting, and I voted for them to work for us, not them. And I'd be happy to vote for the next person if they don't start working.
How many of you have written letters?
