July 3-4 : Occupy NG Works Toward Future, George Carlin on Occupy Wall Street
While Occupiers bake in Philly sun and
prepare to join the masses swarming Independence Mall for the USA's

at least a government not beholden to big banks.

As seen in the video above, the extreme heat works wonders for the temperament.

heroes must take on. The characterization shows the villains running
a secret cabal in the bowels of Wall Street, risking human lives and
the fate of civilization itself in their pursuit of riches.

More and more blogosphere attention
shines on this weekend's upcoming national gathering. Gather.com
says the weekend won't be a turning point as much a s reiteration of
Occupy's basic message, that “banks need to stop reaming their
customers and the 1% need to pay their share,” sentiments most
Americans will likely say amen to.
Occupy New Haven plans to spearhead a New England contingent of 40-100, beginning the trip by meeting on the New Haven green (the same one from which they were evicted back in April) where they feature an “underwater mortgage action” at 5 pm Thursday to highlight the plight of foreclosed homeowners, followed by a talk at 7 pm by Mark Naison, professor of History at Fordham University who will give a talk on the radical transitions of the past and how they will help Occupy confront present day challenges.
