Nearly 400 people have turned out at Salmon Street Springs fountain for a "reoccupation" forum and march to set up a new Occupy Portland camp, despite the mayor's opposition to another encampment in the city.
Members of the Occupy movement put out a call Friday for supporters to meet at the fountain at Tom McCall Waterfront Park for a 2 p.m. rally, followed by a march to an unnamed park for a two-week stay.

I think my largest fear is that by playing camp between now and March, there won't be many Occupiers left by then to stage things. They'll be occupying State Prison Cells on the felony charges the Feds start pushing local jurisdictions to throw down on them. Mark my words...THAT stage is only a short time off at this point. Felony level charges are defined by min. sentences of 1 year or more. Getting arrested isn't a game anymore when that starts.
I think thats even more likely when you've announced when you'll be arriving in D.C. to make their lives a true living hell...and in the start of the true election season too. Nothing wrong with advanced notice.....unless of course Occupy plans to offer themselves up as juicy targets to take out on a regular basis between now and then. Expect the feds to take you up on your offer of being the Turkey for their table and don't be surprised when they make a point of destroying OWS before that march 30 date. Now both sides have a deadline to work toward......Please don't give the Feds the easy route for removing Occupy as any form of challenge.
Update: At least 10 tents up already. "This tent is my voice," says one woman.

let them set up then cordon off the area put up quarantine signs.. wait and let the inevitable disease outbreak due to poor sanitation and hygiene take them out.
that way we wont have to listen to them whinge that their rights are being violated and that the police are bullying them..
the police would then be able to do their job and make their routine patrols. everyone wins...
