<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Saturday. Sept. 15,
2012, Occupy Mendocino celebrated the persistence of our powerful
movement : The one year Birthday Party was held at the Fort
Bragg Senior Center. That was two weeks after the Labor Day Paul Bunyan
Parade.We were a 25 strong, visible contingent joined by members of Union
SEIU ; the group chanting : </DIV>
<DIV>" no more cuts" when a speaker on a bull horn shouted:
libraries: schools: wages: police: teachers:
firemen etc. Pat Karch had made 2 enchanting,life sized puppets with
a sign that said: (-Paul and Babe : were foreclosured on and
moved to the Beach.) photos forthcoming.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> Henrietta ,
age 84, and Howard, 95, among other young seniors, came to our General Assembly
meeting and Birthday Party at the Senior Center celebrating our
accomplishments. One of our accomplishments was getting three of our
members onto the Sr. Ctr. Board of Directors through our numbers attending and
observing board meetings and running for office.Taking power at the community
level.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> Many other accoplishments, such as the
direct action and video made of 25 Occupy Mendocino and Occupy Ukiah
members carrying signs (alleging mortgage fraud) at the Board of
Supervisors County Offices with "crime scene tapes" in front of the Assessor's
Office.-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>A video was made by Laurie York from OM of a
homeowner, facing foreclosure, who was able to look at his records at the
Assessor/Recorder's office to find who owned his mortgage. None could be found
due to loans having been securitized and sold to investors abroad. Still
the bank will foreclose on his home. Result= We, both OM and
OU, were asked to be speak on the next month's agenda to the Supervisors
regarding fraudulent home foreclosures, which we did.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Accomplishment #2:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Many faxes were sent to our state legislators
supporting the Home Owners Bill of Rights. This supported the direct
action of two of us rallying as we joined three hundred other
protestors at the State Capitol pushing for a three year Moratorium on
Home Foreclosures. Result: the following Monday the legislature passed
the </FONT><FONT color=#000000 size=2> Homeowners Billof Rights. Because
these protections (5 laws) will go into effect only in January 2013. We are
calling for Governor Brown to declare a state of economic emergency and a
Moratorium on foreclosure Now until Jan.2013. Please join us in sending this
message at change.org.petition: Foreclosure Moratorium Petition.to Governor
Brown.</FONT></DIV>

will be energized by listing your accomplishments face to face as a vibrant
community within Ukiah. GO Occupy Ukiah!</DIV>
