The Occupy Together movement will come to the Lehigh Valley with a noon rally scheduled for 7th and Hamilton streets in Allentown on Monday.
Occupy Together is a spin-off of the Occupy Wall Street protest. More than 700 anti-Wall Street protestors were arrested Saturday when they tried to cross the Brooklyn Bridge.
Occupy Together is a national effort to mobilize "99% [to] take action against the greed and corruption of the 1%," according to the movement's website. About 30 people have committed to attend the Allentown rally, according to the Occupy Allentown Facebook page.
There's a debate under way on the Facebook page about whether the protest will accomplish anything or is a waste of time and energy.
In addition to Facebook, Craigslist is being used by the event organizers to get the word out.

Your groupies have absolutely no knowledge as to what is happening. They will only realize it when Obama and his soldiers round them up and puts them into camps. I know this because you simply prattle on a symptom of those who do not read. So here is a book for you to consider.Suicide of a Nation by Patrick Buchanan. Now you can read what this man has written but I am sure you won't do that because your bias will get in the way. So you just stick with TIME. At one time it was a decent, informative magazine. Today it is a rag that does the bidding of the communist sitting in the White House. In closing have no doubt that the Tea Party people are far superior to your "useful idiots" in the occupy group.
I am surre that Rosemary is only to well aware as to who got us into this, I would ask the same of you.
If you take the time to read Buchana's new book, Suicide of a Superpower" you will add to your store of information. It is scary but worth the read
There you go again-pointing out the truth in a graphic format that anyone can understand.
There were tons of people who defaulted on their college loans by declaring bankruptcy. You, if you are working, and I are getting to pay for this. You can probably get your congressman to get you all the charts on this issue. In his newest proposal, your president is porposing a way for those who borrow now can get out of it later. Keep in mind that the Federal Government owns all of the student loans now. Nothing has changed.
Trouble is brewing in OWS paradise... http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/10/report-fights-erupt-between-occupy-wall-street-protesters/1
I cannot believe that Blomburg is letting this happen. I'll wager that the store owners are not pleased about this with Thanksgiving and Christmas on the way. As to the persecuting of people they are already doing that thanks to organizations like CAIR
Have to wonder how many more stories like this are playing out across the nation...
Would not want to stand with any of these groups. Show me your friends and I will show you who you are.
Pat Buchanan has done more for this nation then you ever will. He is a couple of gazillions smarter then you could ever hope to be. Meanwhile you have a real opportunity to do some good up there or wherever you are by demanding that women who are raped can go and report it. You, howeveer, have probably found your element. You should really pack you bags and go back home to Mexico.
The guy you currently have in the White House is an admitted cocaine and marijuana user as well as a consumer of tobacco, something he vowed to quite. When you do not hold the high moral ground you should stop your preaching. The so called abuse of two women will take care of itself and you can rest assure if Mr. Cain has indeed done a dirty deed he will loose support. Your candidate, on the other hand, will continue with his ways, whatever they are because he is not a moral man nor is he a patriot. If you read his books, and you won't do that, you will find out who this man is. If you can still stand him after the reading, well, you get what you deserve. Keep in mind how mush assistance he gave to his aunt who was here illegally.
Do you remember the good old days when young Douglas Ginsberg was on his way to the US Supreme Court under Reagan. Nina Totenberg, a Progressive reporter who would offer things to Bill Clinton, turned up and published Ginsberg's smoking marijuana. He withdrew his appointment to the Court. Since then the Dems have coughed up Dukais, who would not put the death penalty in place for rapists even if his wife had been the victim. Then they give us Clinton, followed by Gore and Kerry. The Republicans were not much better with Bush 41 and 43. We offered up McCain last time and now we are being told we need to vote for Romnie. Then we have the entire issue of morals and it plays a major role. Within in the Dems. Party there are those who freely admit that they have no morals eg. Anthony Weiner. The Republicans do subscribe to morals but then up and manage to do something morally wrong and they suffer for it correctly I might add.
Another business forced to lay off workers because of OWS. 21 people driven out of work because of the occupiers just in time for Thanksgiving!
Let me see if I have this right. I should be listening to rapists, thieves, all sorts of malingerers, those who are in favor of anarchy, lawless, members of all the "ists" and "isms" and those who have foolishly gotten themselves into debt for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Your silly occupiers are making Congress and all officials look like saints. Keep up the good work.
