Romneyville Camp Needs More Handouts, Free Stuff

My fellow comrades:

I was sitting at the stoplight this morning, waiting for the left turn arrow so I could swing into Panera bread to pick up a White Russian Mocha Latte before donning my pink vagina costume and proceeding to downtown Tampa for today's protests against the RNC. Impatient, I pulled out my iProg to surf the 'net where I came across this alarming news article:

Romneyville protest camp reality not matching the dream

Romneyville, a Tampa-based haven of progressive activists, occupiers, fellow travelers, and anyone looking for a safe place to share their hatred of Mitt Romney during the RNC and beyond, is broke and needs help.

They have neither food nor shelter:

With hardly any donations coming in, there is no money to feed people camped there and not enough tents to keep its estimated 180 occupants shielded from the blazing sun or sudden afternoon thunderstorms, said the Rev. Bruce Wright, one of the tent city's founders.
Who will feed these multitudes? Who will provide them with food? Who will give them brand new tents so they don't get hot in the blazing sun, or drenched in the sudden afternoon thunderstorms? WHO?

Wright said the camp, which sits in a commercial lot behind the Army Navy Surplus Market and an adjacent gravel lot at 1312 N. Tampa St., should have had about 300 people living there, planning rallies, speaking out on the plight of the homeless and protesting the convention.

The threat of Tropical Storm Isaac and the 3,500 extra police officers
hired for convention security could have scared hundreds of people off, Wright
said.
Just think! That's hundreds more people who could've been starving and in need of shelter! That's what Romneyville is supposed to be! A place where hundreds—no, thousands—are dying each day from starvation and thirst and violent weather caused by global warming! A place that is the ultimate showcase for what all of America would look like under the bloody oppression of a Romney Regime!

But Romneyville has other problems. Over the past four months, at least 30 people, mostly the homeless, have been booted out of the camp for violating a policy of no drugs and alcohol.

"We need to help (the homeless), but we're a political homeless camp," Wright said. "We need to maintain decorum."
Because there's homeless, and then there's political homeless. Some homeless are just more equal than other homeless. That's inequality under the Romneyregime!

Tarah Colon, who is living in Romneyville with her 11-month-old son, said she's also experienced problems living there.
"Someone stole our money," she said. "If we don't raise $200 ... we won't be able to pay for the vans" to get home.
Hm, Tarah's plight sounds familiar to me. And with an 11-month-old son, if I count back correctly using the People's Math™ , then it turns out I did indeed raise awareness of her plight here at The People's Cube.

Several of its trademark pink tents that first garnered Romneyville recognition were ripped to shreds by summer storms over the past few months, Wright
said.With no new donated tents, 30 people sleep under a flatbed trailer on the property that should have been used as a stage for speeches, Wright said.
The camp has no running water and its makeshift kitchen is running low on food. Residents have hung wet clothing on a rope strung between two parking meters, or draped them over a barbwire fence.
Colon said Romneyville may not look like much, but that's the point.
"We think it's important for people to see that we are living like a third world country in the richest country in the world," she said.
Comrades, as I read this article, I was so appalled by the plight of the good, brave residents of Romneyville, so swept up in their courageous, heartbreaking story, that I almost didn't hear the idiot behind me blaring his horn at me because the light had already turned and I hadn't even realized it. I had no choice but to continue driving and wonder what I could do to help.

Perhaps I could've told Reverend Bruce Wright (and ask him if he's any relation to Jeremiah, because I'll bet no one's ever asked him that before) to collect $8,000 and then he'd have enough to buy new tents and some food. Maybe I could've e-mailed him the URL number of some public resource or government agency that could help him with his dilemma. Or maybe I could just drive down there and give him a hug, if only the traffic between here and there wasn't such a bitch right now because of all the Republicans and cops.

By the way, if anyone knows if those people are still down at Romneyville suffering starvation and heat stroke, then maybe there's something we can do collectively to help them. I thought maybe we could all dress up in tents and march through downtown Tampa to raise awareness of the terrible things happening in Romneyville. Or maybe we could all gather in a recording studio and record a song and whatever's left over after expenses and royalties, we'll give to Romneyville.

Or maybe just writing this blog from the basement of my parents' $450,000 $93,000 McMansion will be enough to motivate someone out there to take steps to act.

When she isn't busy making an issue out of everything, she enjoys spending other people's money, occupying other people's property, and beating proles with her shovel.

And to make matters even worse, Commissarka, while the poor righteous people of Romneyville are starving due to no one taking care of them and feeding them and giving them free things (due, of course, to their being in a Rethugglikkkan neighborhood), right across the street we have this MIA LOVE

spewing hate and Rethugglikkkan lies!! How did someone this foolish and ignorant ever find her its way off the plantation, I ask you?

I thought the FLOTUS and Sec State were already doing this. At least that's what I thought from their appearances over the past 3 years.

14. And Obama went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. 15. And when it was evening, his campaign advisers came to him, saying, This is a desolate place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the food pantries, and be given free victuals. 16. But Obama said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17. And they said unto him, We have here but five Cliff Bars, and two tofu fish sticks that we confiscated from someone who did not build something we tax him for. 18. He said, Bring them hither to me. 19.And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five energy bars, and the two vegan seafood products, and looking at a giant poster of himself or Lenin or perhaps a Che T-shirt, he blessed, and brake, and gave the food to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20.And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21. And they that had eaten were about five dozen men, beside women, children, GBLTs, and giant pink nether regions.

Thus it is written in the Gospel of Debby, Chapter 14.

Meet Tara Colon (pronounced as "cologne")

Tara_Colon_500.jpg

From ABC News:
"This is reality," said Tara Colon, 36, who has lived in tent cities since she was a teenager.

The mother of five came to Tampa from Philadelphia because she is fighting homelessness and has concerns over a vanishing middle class in America. Colon's 16-year-old was born in a tent city.
Ahem... How many contradictions can you find between the red and the blue lines?

"That shouldn't be in the richest country of the world," said Colon.
Translation: "I want all of you to pay me for doing this important project of hanging out around tent camps, educating the boys about my vagina, and getting knocked up in the process (an occupational hazard)."

I think I have found the place where the vanishing middle class in America is disappearing: it vanishes in Tara's vagina. As well as Sandra's vagina. And Medea's vagina. And all the other vaginas that are going to be speaking at the Democratic Convention in North Carolina.

And there is no return.

Please, please, we have to help these people! Please send whatever you can, $1, $5, $10, $35,000, $40,000 or whatever to:

Opiate of the People
c/o The Caring Feeling Fund to Aid the Past, Current and Future Victims of Romney
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Suite C (Right next to Jarret's Wing)
Washington DC

I will personally see that some of the money is distributed to these needy Romneyville citizens who will likely get cancer if you don't help.

And remember.... I CARE!

Ah! So evil Amerikka is the only rich country that has stupid, useless people!

Am I hearing a judgmental attitude toward those who don't wish to offer anything tangible toward society in return for their consumption of the people's goods and services? Shouldn't we at least find out how Ms. Colon was treated by her parents before we rush to judgement? I'm sure their is some compassionate explanation.

In the mean time, sending money somewhere is always good, or at least expressing a desire for others to send money. It is the Progressive way.

Comrade People's Comrade, you must never forget - she is ENTITLED. To stuff. And a place to live. And a college education. And free food. And CONDOMS!!

She is obviously just another victim of Rethugglikkkan hate. Where was Mitt Romney when she needed free housing? And where was Paul Ryan when her son was born in a tent city? I'll tell you where they weren't - THEY WERE NOT SPREADING THE WEALTH AROUND!!!

Oh, and it's always better to send somebody else's money somewhere. For the People.

Tent porn!

For your viewing pleasure - the original aforementioned pink tents in Romneyville that didn't survive the elements and wear and tear. It is possible that later some turned blue from exhaustion.

Have a good night and don't let the tent bug bite.

Well it's going to take rich people like to bail out these knuckleheads, isn't it? No thanks to you self-absorbed commies. This takes adults. This takes executive organizing. This takes skill. This requires something like the Berlin Airlift.

I took it upon myself to raise money from some of my friends and we bought up every single solitary People's Cube Red Square had. Crates and crates of them. Thousands. Rush owns a couple of old WW Two bombers.

Look out below bombs away! It's raining equality.

Tomorrow morning those poor starving commies will get all the People's Cubes they can eat.

I know! They should build a Potemkin Occupy Camp.

Cheap and effective.

They did, but it's in reverse.

If the United States wasn't spending billions of dollars in war aid to Israel, we wouldn't have these political homeless camps. I suppose now, all that's left is for them to send a slow moving bulldozer in the direction of these people and slaughter them all wholesale.

Better listen to Saint Pancake, Colon- she's pre-art! Or umm, she was at least. Anyway, she knows of what she speaks.

More drollery from the RNC protesters:

RNC Protesters Haven't Lived Up to Expected Numbers


On Wednesday afternoon, Pepe Kovanis and six fellow Occupy Tampa members were
the only protesters within the protest zone near the Forum.

Demonstrators, Kovanis said, were intentionally avoiding the designated protest area as a protest unto itself. But Kovanis and his colleagues came anyway because "we were bored and walking around. We thought it would be funny to be the only protesters."

Kovanis said protesters didn't descend en masse in Tampa because law enforcement "trumped up the scare tactics to try to intimidate people from coming down there."

He also blamed weather forecasters, saying they intentionally misled people into believing what was then Tropical Storm Isaac might strike Tampa.
Right. The weather forecasters on all the various channels got together and conspired to shamelessly and knowingly broadcast wrong information about the storm's track to (a) scare off protesters and (b) endanger millions of innocent lives up in Louisiana and Mississippi. Those lying bastards! What if they're all lying about Global Warming, too?

Image
The weather forecasters did their job. Comrade Kovanis should redirect his ire at his fellow travelers in the mainstream media, all of whom belabored and overhyped and obsessed and salivated over the possibility that Isaac would make a direct hit on Tampa and thus wash out the convention. No doubt they believed if they repeated it often enough, all the while tapping their heels together, their wish would come true. Even after it no longer posed a threat to Tampa, they continued to harp on the “sensitivity” of continuing the RNC while the storm went elsewhere.

Wrong Colonel, Sis. He's looking for 7.62, not eleven secret herbs and spices.
