NEWS
- Plaza to be Reoccupied, says Occupier Committee of Occupy San Diego
- Press release cites laws that state that a place to sleep must be provided or city must allow sleeping on city property.
- Please see the separate release.
Occupiers Plans To âRe-Occupyâ Freedom Plaza Starting Saturday December 17, 2011.
We believe under the Illegal Lodging, 647(e) agreement filed 2/8/2011,
04 CV -2314 BEN, Exhibit "A" as well as âTraining Bulletin SDPD, page 5
section II; 1., in conjunction with the federal court order giving persons the
right to sleep in public space when no shelter beds are available (and it is
rare to find such beds available), we have legal standing for our protest to
remain in the plaza 24 hours a day and 7 days per week. Therefore we're
lawfully re-occupying Freedom Plaza.
- Special GA meeting today at 2pm Please attend!
Despite what you might hear on the corporate-owned news:
- The occupation continues, around the clock.
- PLEASE COME DOWN when you can and help with numbers. This is your true vote. Stay at home = vote against 99%.
- Tents and almost everything is now being restricted by the police.
- Food is needed -- we no longer have a food table, so you'll have to play it by ear.
- We will not be denied our constitutional right to assemble and speak!
- Many Teach-ins on Sunday!

Legal
- Temporary Restraining Order
- Read all details here: Background, Court Documents and Ruling
- Decision was reached on Dec 1. Judge DENIED TRO
- Judge said the law was "narrowly drawn" which is nothing but unbelievable.
- We STILL need video documentation of police hassling people about setting stuff down. If you have such a video, please contact us at osd-feedback@citizensoversight.org so I can get it to the right people.

Please Help one of the 99%! Recently I've had to the honor of meeting Raul Carranza who is an extremely brave and passionate activist here in San Diego. Raul is living with Muscular Dystrophy which is a progressive disease that prevents his muscles from making any energy, leaving him unable to walk, move his arms or eat and breathe on his own which requires around the clock nursing care. Care that he's being denied due to the appropriate amount of funding being cut off by the state of California. Please help us get Raul Carranza the care he needs and deserves to strive for a more independent life. Please ask DHCS Director Toby Douglas and California Governor Jerry Brown to overturn the Medi-CAL's decision to cut his funding. I've attached a video of Raul telling his story at a Occupy Labor Solidarity rally a week ago. Please share this widely so we can get as many signatures as possible. We are all Raul Carranza.

User's Tip
Since we get new subscribers every day much of the email blast will be the same as the last one. BUT, you can view JUST THE DIFFERENCES if you want to, so you can read it faster.
- Go to the web version of the email blast.
- Scroll to the bottom. Click "More Topic Actions"
- Go to the sections "Compare Revisions"
- Compare the current topic ("3" in this one) to 1 (which is the prior day's)
- Click COMPARE.
Notes:
- This does not show some changes, like images, so you should scan the original email too.
- At the bottom of the original topic, you can view any older version (click the numbers) or comparisons ("<") by clicking on the list. (Doesn't work for our case of comparing one day to the next because there are usually several revisions before the final one, so you have to use the "Compare Revisions" function.
