Will YOU participate in the Occupy General Strike Nov. 2nd?

[dixiegrrrrl]

Oakland branch of "Occupy Wall Street" calling for a GENERAL STRIKE November 2nd.
Yes, a general and NATIONAL strike.

I can do that. No shopping, no spending.

Can..WILL...you do that, in support of the protest against the criminal actions of the Oakland Police?


What say DU? Money where your mouth is and all of that?

10. I'll stay home, and not even visit my bank's website! I'm all behind the protests and the strike!

[yellerpup]

11. Gladly. n/t

[Fumesucker]

12. I'm on general strike about six days out of seven..

One more won't be too difficult for me.

:hi:

[dixiegrrrrl]

Bennies of being broke, we can support most strikes!!!!

[Lionessa]

14. The strike is just to not spend money that we will have either spent the day before

in preparation or the day after, because we as a society won't just refuse to buy. Now if it's supposed to be like Occupy and it's just a first day, well, maybe then, but, geez, that ain't gonna happen.

[Warpy]

15. Already planning to

I'm retired, so it'll be no shopping, no spending, no driving, even.

I doubt this one will work. Too many people are still comfortable and others are too afraid because they still have something left to lose.

[sarge43]

16. No shopping, no spending?

I can do that and will.

[ohheckyeah]

18. I go weeks without spending money or shopping so

it's no problem for me. How about a reminder on the 1st.

[kestrel91316]

19. I can go without shopping or spending, I don't do much of that anymore anyway, lol.

I WILL be open for business, because my feline patients should not suffer due to the 1%'s intransigence.

[yardwork]

20. I'm in.

[yawnmaster]
