Report from an occupier who attended one of the "99% Spring" trainings

[JDPriestly]

38. I definitely do not think that all Occupy does is sleep in tents,

but that is one of the things that Occupy has done. Lots of people want to join in some of the Occupy activities but can't participate in all. The 99% training can bring people in that category up to speed and give them confidence about joining in.

At least in the training I attended, the group was planning to join activities that Occupy is planning. And at the meeting I learned that I already know and have worked with some of the people in the existing Occupy organization.

I know that Move-On often supports the Obama administration. I disagree with Obama on a number of policies, but considering my choices, I will be campaigning for Obama and voting for him. It isn't entirely a matter of the lesser of two evils although my decision could be viewed that way. But really, it is more a matter of being realistic. Obama for all of his faults and mistakes is far better than the Republican alternative. There are good things about Obama.
