Hello, I am forwarding an announcement from Joseph onto the group. At 7pm tomorrow (Tues.) night, the city council will be considering a petition to allow the group to Occupy Upchurch park. We have a place on the agenda at the request of the mayor. Joseph suggests we have as many supporters as possible in the room during this session as people who support our petition will be asked to stand.
Is there a way the group can discuss at tonight's GA a proposal to postpone tomorrow night's GA so that the group can attend the council meeting? Thanks Stacie _____ From: Joseph: I just posted this to the "Legal Forum <http://forum.occupyraleigh.net/index.php/board,9.0.html> " for Occupy Raleigh Here is the latest as I understand it on tomorrow's City Council Meeting 11/1/11 1:00 P.M. Session Mayor Meeker will request a report on the Police action and our 1st amendment rights at the 1:00 session of the meeting. It is very unlikely that we will be able to speak, but we are welcome to be in the audience and we can wear our identifying [shirts, button, stickers but no signs.] 7:00 P.M. Session Mayor Meeker will request that we be added to the agenda at the meeting so we can petition the City Council for our request to occupy Upchurch Park at the 7:00pm meeting. At this time we will be able to speak to the City Council. We should keep our remarks short, to the point, and not repeat what others have said. The tentative plan is that: Joseph Huberman will present our request to the council and then introduce Margaret Schucker who will speak next (The evening GA reached consensus for this on 10/30/11) Others will then be asked if they have anything to add, and usually you move to the front row to show that you want to speak. You will be asked to state your name and address when you begin speaking. At some point people in the audience who support our request will be asked to stand. It will be very useful to have as many people in the audience as possible at that time. After we have spoken the City Council may approve our request, deny it, or refer it to a committee for further study. Joseph
