Welcome Message

The Occupy Wall St. Movement is sweeping the country.  Some have described participants as potheads, extremists, or even Communists.  I thought it would be a fine idea to SHOW “Them” exactly what it is that you DO for this country.

On pro-movement news broadcasts, I heard participants being referred-to as: “The Occupy People” for lack of a better name. I thought: “They need a “real” name. “Occupier” has possible negative connotations.   “Occupant” was better – it conveys one belonging in a place.  And thus, this site was born.

Lansing City and Michigan State Police should be Commended!

I attended the #Oct15 #OccupyLansing rally. This #Occupant would like to send out a gigantic THANK YOU to the city of Lansing Police Department and the Michigan State Police who were present. They were courteous, and helpful – they cleared the way for marches, both on bikes and in cars.

The New York Police department could take some lessons from Lansing and Michigan!

OccupyLansing.org domain registered

I have registered OccupyLansing.org; OccupyLansing.com, and OccupyDetroit.com (and probably many others) have been registered by “FABULOUS.COM PTY LTD” – probably in the hopes of reselling the domains at a greatly inflated price.

OccupyLansing.org was registered by a participant, an Occupant - if you will… and will be available for use by OccupyLansing.  It’s not an official site, yet, but I’m hopeful.

I would highly suggest that other occupy groups register their internet domains, soon, before opportunists get them registered first.

#OccupyLansing: Call for WiFi Hotspot and Generator at Occupy Rallies

I attended the OccupyLansing / #Oct15 rally yesterday, and hooked up with the Tech-crew there. Blogging/Tweeting is much more effective when done live during an event, and we were having issues getting a reliable internet connection. If there is anyone that is willing to donate a mobile WiFi hotspot (including the ISP connection) for OccupyLansing, please contact me.

Although recharging computing devices could be done at nearby local businesses, it means having to leave the rally area. It would be really nice if a (quiet) generator or vehicle with power inverters were available to the OccupyLansing Media and Tech-crews.
