Called my republican congressman today about #OWS .... |
|
.... and I got the RNC/Freedom Works/American Crossroads/Chamber of Commerce talking points about why the police and homeland security are moving across the country to shut down #OWS camps.
1) Drugs .... lots and lots of drugs being used @ the protests .... all kinds of deaths and O.D.s
2) sanitationing (my congress critter's phone worker's own words) needs to be done
3) "We" (her words) let you people have your say during the day so just go home at night.
4) #OWS is stopping free speech from the other side.
5) Other people are being kept from using the parks by #OWS
6) The Cities are doing this all on their own because it a local safety issue.

My Congress critter is Steve Stivers ..... who is/was a bank lobbyist

2. #OWS is stopping free speech from the other side? |
|
Hasn't the "other side" had unfettered freedoms of speech for about 30 years now? Isn't it time the 99 percent got to talk?
