You have stated that one of your driving reasons for joining the occupy group in Ashville (sorry, first time to hear of the place) is because you are affected by "US government's actions in Somalia". What is it you would like for Somalia? Do you think you will be able to change this US government through demos rather than waiting for the elections next year? I also do not agree with you about the way people are treated in the US vis-a-vis Kenya. Hardly a generation ago police were setting dogs on demonstrators in Birmingham, AL,  and other cities; people fighting for civil rights. A short while ago Rodney King was beaten to pulp and even now there are many instances of police beatings. A few days ago I was in New York and saw on the TV a police officer use a Taser gun on a motorist for driving 5 miles above the speed limit.

The banks and Wall Street are only able to exist in their current form because of the poor policies and government legislation. The government needs to change its laws in regards to what these institutions are allowed to do. It is a critical part of a democracy that the people speak for change when change is required.

And it is a privilege to create change under the government of the president from Siaya. You see in America they may spray people with pepper gas, and maybe even rubber bullets (which still hurt), but they don't shoot us in the streets like they may in Kenya.

My lovely friends in Kenya,

I came back to the US to join Occupy in my hometown of Asheville, NC to raise awareness of what the global economy does to Africa and Kenya in particular and how the US government's actions in Somalia are affecting us. Please see the attached infographics to give you some clue as to why me, and the rest of Occupy want change in America. It is our democratic right to change our government when required. And right now, for the sake of the world, it is required.

Blessings,
Crystal

Hi,
 
What started in Tunisia went across to Egypt, made a short stop in Britain, made a few more stops has now taken a transatlantic cable across to the USA.
 
You can follow the proceedings on http://www.livestream.com/occupynyc, there is a suspicion from the demonstrators that mobile signal are being jammed.  the WiFi signals will be next then finally the sites streaming the footage.
