Romneyville Camp Needs More Handouts, Free Stuff


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:
Quote:
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?
Quote:
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!
Quote:
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!
Quote:
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.
Quote:
Several of its trademark pink tents that first garnered Romneyville recognition were ripped to shreds by summer storms over the past few months, Wrightsaid.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'

spewing hate and Rethugglikkkan lies!! How did someone this foolish and ignorant ever find

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


I am soooooo not understanding kids these days...


From ABC News:
Quote:
"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?
Quote:
"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.

"That shouldn't be in the richest country of the world," said Colon.Ah! So evil Amerikka is the only rich country that has stupid, useless people!


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.


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.


R.O.C.K. in the USSA
Commissarka Pinkie, is that guy in the photo inside a blue vagina with yellow lips?!?!?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.


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.


Cheap and effective.


Red Square
I know! They should build a Potemkin Occupy Camp.Cheap and effective.
They did, but it's in reverse.






RNC Protesters Haven't Lived Up to Expected Numbers
Quote:
On Wednesday afternoon, Pepe Kovanis and six fellow Occupy Tampa members werethe 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?

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.


..ahem.. oh wait.. I need to talk the Colonel about getting a time shift pass in the space continuum... be right back!
