Chick-fil-A has Donated Millions of Dollars to Anti-Gay and Hate Groups 31
ABQ NM protest
Recently, the current COO of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, has declared publicly that he is opposed to same-sex marriages. On July 16, Cathy appeared in The Baptist Press:
“We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit,” Cathy said. “We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.”
10 Reasons to Ban Gay Marriage 24
Here are the TOP TEN reasons to ban gay marriage (I hear David Letterman’s voice in my head when I read that… don’t you?). Number one….
1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

Vibe: A social media driving force behind Occupy Wall St 1
Wall Street demonstrators are using a new app, called “Vibe,” to organize protests, showing how social media is transforming to meet users’ needs.
Vibe is like Twitter, but with some major differences that make it an ideal choice for protest groups. Users don’t have to register and can anonymously post the tweet-like messages, determining how far they travel since the technology is location-based.
We are the 99 percent letters 4
We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we’re working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

Occupy Wall Street organizing all over the US… and WORLD! 22
UPDATE: Friday, October 7th, 2011
Many of the links on the OccupyTogether.org are bad – plus they keep changing the site around so it is becoming rather difficult to maneuver. Therefore, I have gone through each state on Facebook and located some of the key Facebook pages. I am sure there are more, but these are good starting places. See list below. If you would like your community added, please leave a comment with link.

Facebook BLEW UP today due to the new changes with the wall feed 1
When I logged on this morning, still groggy with my first cup of coffee barely touched, I was flabbergasted to see the enormous changes in Facebook… as were my friends. For hours today, we grumbled, complained, and basically decided… we did NOT like how Facebook is deciding upon what the “top feeds” are for us.
20,000 protest in Athens Greece as bonds plunge. Footage and photos. Reply
According to the Wall Street Journal, the financial markets, Greece’s bedgraggled bonds are getting wacked as Eurocrats continue to bicker over how to rescue Greece once more. The cost to insure against a Greek debt default has also risen to fresh records. It now costs $1.725 million a year to insure $10 million of Greek debt, according to data provider Markit.
An estimated 20,000 protestors took to the streets in uproar over the market. Description in the Occupied London blog:
People were trampled over tents, gassed like ants, fainting all over. By the time that the Delta motorcycle police tried to come into play, people had learnt the rules of the game — and they pushed them off. Twelve hours of nearly uninterrupted beating, tear-gassing, running, fighting.
