Turbulent times

It's been a moment since my last post, as I've been involve with local activities and when I'm home, frankly, I'm lazy. But this isn't to say things have been quiet; both nationally and locally things have been going on. The NDAA is still looming large in the minds of many Americans, as it seems it will be signed into law any day now to strip us all of our rights. A decision about the Keystone XL pipeline is being pushed back as much as political pressure will allow, and we can only hope that's for the purpose of gather more scientific data on the havoc it would wreak rather than gathering more campaign dollars from lobbyists. Meanwhile the Occupiers around the country still face terrible violence as a response to their peaceful methods.
Locally, a new Occupation has been formed in response to the last Occupation's eviction; this time in a town much more sympathetic to the cause. Networking has become a main priority, with the goal of unifying our region and informing and educating the public about the movement. Winter, it seems, will be quiet.. but make no mistake; this is not the quiet of a still, frozen lake. This is the quiet of a smoldering ember waiting for the warm gusts of spring to rejuvenate it, blazing, into a bonfire of activity. Do not fear, Occupiers, that mass media's predictions of the death of our movement have come to pass... they absolutely have not. We are a flourish of activity behind the scenes. Remember the chant: we are unstoppable, another world is possible. To remind everyone, email me at wulfgraphics@aim.com to let me know where you think this thing is going.
