Occupy New Hampshire counters the Republican narrative

The Nation
by Ben Adler

01/09/12

New Hampshire is a small state, so its primary does not allocate many delegates to the Republican National Convention. The reason New Hampshire s primary is so important is the momentum it creates for the winning candidate. And the reason it creates momentum is because the national media obsessively cover it in great detail. So, in some sense, the media coverage is itself the primary. Ground zero for the media in New Hampshire right now is the Radisson hotel in downtown Manchester...

Emanuel s Protest-Squashing ''Sit Down and Shut Up'' Ordinance Passes in Chicago

Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: ''The 'sit down and shut up' ordinance, as it has been called, seeks to chill protest in Chicago through measures including mandatory $1 million liability insurance for protests, a heightened police presence and more difficulty getting a permit.... When the ordinance was first introduced, it was said to be only a measure for the NATO/G8 conference to be held in Chicago in May, but it was later revealed that the ordinance change is expected to be permanent.''

Occupy Oakland: An Illustrated History

Susie Cagle, Truthout: ''From the beginning, the Oakland Commune set Oaklands' occupation apart in its acceptance of the local homeless population. The camp was consistently referred to as not only a political meeting ground and organizing space, but also a replacement for the citys' failures in its everyday existence. Some people were living there to make a point, but others were living there because they needed to, and all were welcomed until the camp was cleared in the early morning of October 25.''
