At our meeting we agreed to holdina solidarity rally on October 15th at 11am in front of the Civil War Monument at the intersections of Bay, Glen and South Streets in downtown Glens Falls. It will last at least one hour. This is in concert with the International Day of Solidarity around the world.

The decision to hold the vigil grew from a resolution DIck introduced at our meeting Wednesday night at the Rockhill Bakehouse Cafe, which passed unanimously. It reads:

"Be it Resolved:

"That the Greater Glens Falls Democracy for America hereby Endorses and Supports OccupyWallStrreet.
"We do so because:
"1) The power, greed and arrogance of Wall Street is crushing the Middle Class.
"2) The power, greed and arrogance of Wall Street is completely destroying the American Dream for millions and millions of Americans.
"3) The power, greed and arrogance of Wall Street has "convinced" a large bulk of our politicians that the Federal deficit is more important that jobs.
"4) The power, greed and arrogance of Wall Street has never been investigated for it's widespread fraud and complicity in the financial collapse
of 2008.
"5) The power, greed and arrogance of Wall Street is gleefully behind the division of income and wealth, so the top 1% has almost a full quarter of all income in the U.S; the top 400 families have a much wealth as the bottom 150 million; "the richest five percent of households obtained roughly 82 percent of all the nation's gains in wealth between 1983 and 2009. The bottom 60 percent of households actually had less wealth in 2009 than in 1983..(Economic Policy Institute) .
"6) The power, greed and arrogance if Wall Street is behind the lies about Social Security so that at last they get to privatize demanding exorbitant fees for management.
"For all this and to all of this an more, OccupyWallStreet brings a blinding light of attention.
