At Women's Protest at the Federal Courthouse

San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)
"Remember Fukushima" Rally at San Onofre -- Update

We went back up to the rally site today -- Park Rangers have mowed and cut an area for the rally, about halfway between the front gate of the San Onofre State Park and the Power plant. We are not right next to the plant -- which is good -- but we still have a great view of the plant behind the speaker's platform.

We have good speakers lined up, occupella choir, plus Charlie Imes for gathering music before the event. Two residents from Fukushima area of Japan have been flown in for the event.

Two buses are full -- about 110 people right there. Plus there is almost unlimited parking in the state park. I'm guessing at least 500 people will show up. The site is super visible from the freeway, so that number of people, banners, signs, etc. will really make an impression. Media -- Orange County Register, North County Times, KPBS (Tom Fudge) are lined up... Two livestreamers have confirmed.

If you are not going on the buses, please try to CAR POOL -- $15 to part at the State Park, PER CAR. (Correct change appreciated!) Shuttle vans will be operating in the parking lot to bring people to the front from their parking places (which can be quite a ways down the road, sometimes as much as 2 miles away).

Suggest that you bring chairs or blankets to sit on. Rally area is, unfortunately, just dirt.

There are still some loose ends... maybe some OSDers will want to step forward to volunteer for this worthy event.

  • Could use some more security volunteers. Carol Jahnkow can train you.
  • Stage manager -- to help line up people who will be speaking and performing.
  • We did not arrange for any food on site, maybe there is something OSD can do in that category.
  • Speaker for OSD. Would like to suggest that OSD appoint a speaker to give a short overview of OSD status, etc.
  • I can bring tables, etc. if OSD needs something like that.

I think this is a good opportunity to outreach and invite new participants into the occupy movement.

Legal Hearings, etc.
  • Curtis Williams, aka Hex -- Jury said: Not guilty for blocking traffic and mistrial for delaying police officer! YEA! We win!! But, only half way...
    • Adriane Bracciale says: -- PLEASE contact Curtis Williams's lawyer Laura Sheppard if you saw Curtis Williams get arrested: lrsheppardlaw@gmail.com. His trial resulted in a hung jury, 9:3 Guilty:NG, and the City Attorney gets another chance to try for a conviction with a new trial. The jury was not swayed by his defense witnesses because no one saw the moments leading up to the arrest or the initial detention itself.
  • Benjamin Gasper's trial has been postponed to allow the defense to respond to new evidence brought forth by the prosecution. The newest court date is March 19th at 9:30 in department 50.
  • Fish's trial will be on March 22nd.
  • Bobby Uribe's trial starts 4/19. Need witnesses to Bobby Uribe's arrest at port protest.
  • HELP: Need video or eye witnesses, anyone who: 1) took video of Mr. Dennison's arrest, especially from the beginning; 2) witnessed Mr. Dennison's arrest; 3) Knows anything about the cops in the photo; 4) was harassed or arrested by any of the cops in the photos. The cops are Button and Newton. The Sgt. is Depress, and Depree started it. Please assist. Mr. Dennison was arrested on 10-28-11 at the civil center.

Media: Occupy San Diego

  • Bob Filner Says San Diego Needs To Make A Clean Sweep At City Hall He’s served on the San Diego Unified School Board and on the San Diego City Council. He was first elected to Congress in 1992 and has held that seat ever since, representing South San Diego and Imperial County. He’s served as chair of the House Veterans Affairs Committee and is now the ranking member. But Filner said he’s leaving that behind and running for mayor because he’s ready for a change.

  • The Dire Limits of Health Care Carranza hadn’t been kicked out of school due to academic or disciplinary issues. Instead, on his 21st birthday, Medi-Cal cut his services, which included round-the-clock nursing care that he needs because he has muscular dystrophy.

  • Susan Burkland - Women Occupy - Rally for Women's Rights Interview with Susan Burkland from Women Occupy at the Rally for Women's Rights on March 8, 2012, International Women's Day in front of the San Diego Federal Courthouse. Susan discusses the rally and issues affecting women today

Media: Occupy National and Global

  • Uncle Sam: If It Ends in .Com, It’s .Seizable it says it has the right to seize any .com, .net and .org domain name because the companies that have the contracts to administer them are based on United States soil, according to Nicole Navas, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman.

  • Many forms of Occupy protests subjected to new bill making protests illegal A bill passed last week in the US House of Representatives and the Senate would make it a felony to participate in many forms of protest associated with the Occupy Wall Street protests of last year. Several commentators have dubbed it the “anti-Occupy” law, but its implications are far broader

  • 55 Vermont Towns Affirm: 'Corporations Are Not People' With some results still yet to come in, reports confirm that at least 55 towns in Vermont approved municipal resolutions calling for an end to big money's dominance in US politics and calling for a Constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court's 'Citizens United' decision that has opened the floodgates for secretive, unlimited campaign spending in US elections.

  • Can OWS Bring Down Bank of America? Bank of America is almost totally bankrupt and is probably going to need a bailout sometime in the next year. It is already dependent on taxpayer money. This time around, there’s still time to prevent another bailout. The only way to prevent this from happening is through starting a massive public campaign to create a political climate in which an educated and empowered populace recognizes that this bank has already failed and must be broken apart. If we can pull this off, it would send a signal to the financial industry that it has to start being accountable to the public. From there, we would have a chance to change the whole system.
