Occupy OC cancels Mitt Romney protest observing OWS National Mourning in Solidarity with Aurora, CO
IRVINE, Calif., July 22, 2012 – In observance of the nation’s mourning process over the Colorado shooting incident and in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street organizers, Occupy Orange County CA has canceled what portended to be a huge Get Money Out of Mitt Romney Protest on Monday morning.
A multi-group protest planned to correspond with a $1,000-a-plate Mitt Romney fundraiser at the Hyatt Regency Irvine has been officially canceled by Occupy Orange County CA organizers in observance of OWS solidarity with Aurora, Colo.
“Although we are all tired of our democracy being sold to the highest bidder,” said Occupy Wall Street organizer Aaron Black, “Occupy Wall Street is sensitive to the millions of American citizens who are together mourning the shooting tragedy in Colorado. Many local occupy groups have elected to stand down in observance of this moment of grief and solidarity to send a message of peace and unity with the victims and their families.”
OWS organizers are expecting Romney to fundraise again in Orange County within the next several weeks. Organizers will be calling on the monster Super PACs and their billionaire donors to walk a mile in their shoes as future Get Money Out of Politics actions are already being planned in conjunction with Occupy Orange County CA, Occupy Los Angeles and other Southern California occupy groups.
According to the Orange County Register, “Romney has a 3-to-1 advantage in raising dough in O.C. Through April 30, the presumptive Republican nominee had raised $2.13 million in itemized contributions fromOrange County residents. Obama raised $706,000 in the same period.”
