Occupy Clearlake on November 12
Occupy Lake County continues to Grow

by Dan Brown

Lake County citizens continue to show enthusiastic support for the Occupy Wall Street movement. 

The latest support event was on Saturday, November 12, at Clearlake's Austin Park.

Contrary to the mainstream media's attempt to portray everyone in the OWS movement as unemployed deadbeats, most OWS supporters across the nation work hard, earn honest livings, and pay more taxes than PG&E or hundreds of other giant wealthy corporations. Lake County's OWS supporters are like most hard-working Americans, which is why Occupy Lake County usually holds its events on weekends.

Rainclouds evaporated and the day was warm, sunny and beautiful by the shores of Clear Lake. Most drivers honked and gave "thumbs up" as they drove by, but there were a few who chose the middle finger instead. All expressions of free speech! One or two drivers shouted "Go get a job!" which inspired chuckles among tax-paying nine-to-fivers who were volunteering precious free time on a Saturday to actively demonstrate on behalf of liberty and justice for all.
