In cities all across America, thousands of anarchists, Stalinists, Trotskyites, Chomskyites, Bukharinites, and other -ites you’ve never heard of are taking a break from the annual anti-war protest circuit to steal green space from the public. They have seized public parks and used them to sleep and poop in for over a month now, depriving the public of their use.
In Washington, D.C., across the street from The Examiner‘s offices, the “Occupiers” at least appear to have kept the pooping to a minimum. But with their encampment on National Park Service lands — a violation of federal law — they are doing their level best to turn the recently re-sodded and renovated McPherson Square ($400,000 in stimulus funds) into a mud bowl by this spring.

In case you were hoping that the cold weather would drive them away and let you enjoy your local public park again, think again. MoveOn.org wants to make sure the affluent homeless are still able to keep their tents pitched on public land.
But temperatures are dropping quickly, and they need supplies.
That’s why we’ve helped put together a new site, OccupyWishList.org, that lets Occupy groups around the country list the supplies they need and lets people like you help fill those needs.
Can you help make sure that Occupy DC is ready for the next few weeks by going to OccupyWishList.org right now and committing to providing some necessary supplies?
This is what we call “contributing to a public nuissance.”
