It appears there is a unified effort to remove Occupy people across the country.
Here is info I gathered just now,
pls add to this list if you have updates about other areas in danger of being removed by TPTB.


Occupy Wall Street refuses to leave, saying: "This is an occupation, not a permitted picnic."
To OWS: :yourock:

Occupy Houston asking for help, "have to be gone by 7 am" ( Twitter)

Occupy Dallas Files Federal Injunction Against City, against forced removal.

Occupy Denver:Protesters will no longer be allowed to stay overnight without facing confrontation from the police. The consequence of violating the policy is arrest.

4. Has the ACLU become involved in these protests at all?
Right to peaceably assemble and all that?

3. Yup, it's starting to get cold outside,
and where there is not outright removal, they are coming down on tents and sleeping bags.

This is going to get uglier.

5. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer (D) sent this letter out today to downtown residents and businesses
Dear Downtown Orlando Residents and Merchants,

A group called Occupy Orlando has announced plans to peacefully assemble on Saturday, October 15th beginning at approximately 8:00 am in front of the Orlando Chamber of Commerce with plans to march through downtown, and ultimately occupy a downtown park or other public space.


The specific route for the march/walk appears at this time to be to the Orlando Chamber of commerce, then proceeding down Orange Avenue to the Bank of America building and finally ending at City Hall Plaza. Once there it is unknown how long the group intends to stay in the plaza.


While the City of Orlando is not associated with this event in any way, the Orlando Police Department will be present to ensure the safety of all protesters as well as those who live and work in downtown Orlando. The City of Orlando has communicated with the leaders of this loosely organized group in order to take steps to minimize traffic disruptions related to this event.


The Occupy Wall Street movement started in New York City and "Occupy" events like these have happened in dozens of cities across the country in recent weeks, from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vast majority of these events have been conducted peacefully.


We support the right of Orlando's residents to protest and exercise free speech rights, and encourage all who participate to do so peacefully and with respect to the rights of others.


Sincerely,

Buddy Dyer
Mayor

7. Next will be tear gas, then rubber bullets, and then Kent State. The plutocracy plans
Edited on Thu Oct-13-11 09:18 PM by RKP5637
to rule the country at any cost to the citizens. This will need to be the 60's all over again. 99% are us, they are only 1%. The worst they fear is a society operating together in opposition to the plutocracy. Their propaganda is cracking, and America is ruled by propaganda. Hence, the plutocracy feels some twangs of panic as evidenced. Americans have had it with this SH** and are PO'ed.

9. Yup... all attempts to quash this have been met with
an increase in numbers at the protests. TPTB are getting quite nervous. Which is going to become dangerous at some point.

8. Governor Hick is so dead wrong about the concept of "state property"
It is still owned by the people of the State of Colorado, which includes the citizens of the State of Colorado who have paid their taxes.

Let 'em stay!

Hopefully the lawsuits will find merit and the eviction orders declared null and void.
