It&#8217;s where a community of committed Americans are standing up against Wall Street and the corporate capture of our democracy for the 99% of us trying to take back the American Dream.<\/p>\n<p>But tomorrow at 7 a.m., under Mayor Bloomberg&#8217;s orders, the NYPD is coming to Zuccotti Park to kick the 99% protesters out. It&#8217;s being done under the guise of &#8220;cleaning&#8221; the park, but new rules will mean the end of the occupation.2<\/p>\n<p>We have very little time to act. We need to gather a huge national petition as soon as possible, so we can deliver it to City Hall tonight and have it for the protesters in Zuccotti Park.<\/p>\n<p>So act now. Sign the petition and tell Mayor Bloomberg: &#8220;Respect the protesters&#8217; First Amendment rights. Don&#8217;t try to evict Occupy Wall Street.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sign the petition.<\/p>\n<p>Zuccotti Park may be in New York, but the protesters are standing up against Wall Street and the damage they&#8217;ve done to millions of Americans everywhere. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s an inspiration and nerve center for a growing occupation movement that&#8217;s spreading to every corner of the country.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s not just this one protest that&#8217;s at stake tomorrow morning, because if we allow the eviction to happen, other mayors across the country are sure to follow Bloomberg&#8217;s lead.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s at stake today is the very right we have as Americans to speak out when we&#8217;ve been wronged and peaceably assemble as a community to seek redress from the government.<\/p>\n<p>Sign the petition, so that Mayor Bloomberg can hear from all of us across the country right away.<\/p>\n<p>Employing a tactic that&#8217;s been used to break up similar protest actions, Mayor Bloomberg is sending in the police under the guise of a &#8220;cleaning operation.&#8221; But that&#8217;s a PR farce, because protesters will only be allowed back in if they obey rules that include: no &#8220;lying down&#8221; and no use of &#8220;tarps or sleeping bags or other covering.&#8221;3<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the 99% protesters can&#8217;t continue to occupy Zuccotti Park if they have to stand for 24 hours a day, and as the nights grow colder and the rain pours down, they can&#8217;t endure without sleeping bags, tarps, and the like. Make no mistake\u2014this is an eviction, and we have less than 24 hours to stop it.<\/p>\n<p>So sign the petition and tell Mayor Bloomberg: &#8220;Respect the protesters&#8217; First Amendment rights. Don&#8217;t try to evict Occupy Wall Street.&#8221; Then get the word out to everyone you know on your social networks.<\/p>\n<p>Sign the petition.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for all you do.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013Justin, Eli, Elena, Adam Q., and the rest of the team<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n<p>1. &#8220;Occupy Wall Street Responds to Bloomberg&#8217;s Cleaning &#8216;Eviction Notice,'&#8221; The New York Observer, October 13, 2011<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.moveon.org\/r?r=265305&#038;id=31974-18019743-6M97p5x&#038;t=6<\/p>\n<p>2.
