Occupy Kochville a Success

source: NationofChange.org
US Person asked you to help out with Occupy Kochville! (aka Wichita, KS) so he reports via Columbia Climate Change Coalition that the peaceful demonstration and march was a success. Even Charles Koch, who ordinarily does not speak to local media outlets, (he is worth $50 billion, so it is optional) felt compelled to answer the telephone and speak to a local reporter. Participants were able to secure a centrally located assembly spot within marching distance of three iconic targets, the Kochs' own personal propaganda organ, the Kansas Policy Institute, the US Chamber of Commerce, and the Bank of America. Occupiers came from 10 different states and 45 cities over three days. On the last day a General Assembly was held and it was decided to march 2 miles round trip to Koch Industries. There, Occupiers were met by a counter-demonstration as well as heavy police surveillance including mounted police and FBI. Generous donations helped fund the non-violent action and prove democracy is not yet dead in "Amerika".
