... while I am sure that members of OB are sympathetic to the plight of those in the OHB, they state they (OHB) are focused on, "social inequities in urban communities". That is great! But by splintering off, you decided to go your own way and yet want to co-opt what OWS/OB have established. I don't care if your splinter group is about saving the whales, saving the rain forests, etc... The Occupy movement needs to keep it's focus on corporate and political corruption. Getting sidetracked from that goal only dilutes the main message, which the right wing has been begging to happen.

I wish OHB all the good fortune in the world. I am sure they have valid complaints and issues with their local entities and it is their initiative to split off to focus on the said, "social inequities in urban communities".

BTW, my save the whales outreach would love to demand $2,000 from some group so I can start organizing, too.
