industrialization goes together. it can be the redevelopment agency, we spend $500 a second on the war on drugs. you will not stop individuals from using what has already been exposed. we are encouraging and a legal lifestyle, and illegal treatment anytime individualistic think outside of the box, because children are getting written prescriptions before they graduate from high school. veterans are coming back and snapping on their families. for those that fall in between become inmates and we are dealing with a cocktail situation that we are not treating like responsible parents or responsible citizens like we are supposed to do. 99% represents different aspects of different individuals

dealing with basically the same kind of command and control issues that you can't raise humanity on. i cannot keep an abuse of lifestyle going, it has to stop at some point in time. somebody has to deal with 52 weeks or whatever type of punishment is in order. i believe the city is in violation of the geneva code and conventions. we're turning our communities, and our children are absolute examples of that with the video games, killing, music. i believe that occupy sf -- [chime] president chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> my name is -- i'm part of the 99 that has occupied san francisco and throughout the world.

i will be straightforward and candid, you know. i hear people say that i grew up with this and i remember this. middle-class america is losing what they thought was part of the american dream. the people -- we will learn how to get over it and we will learn how to be strong. supposedly, representatives of each district. i have seen nothing from you, and i will give no thanks to any of you. it is not to be disrespectful. he made me feel good in camp last night, but you should of been there a long time ago. this was important long before today and before the citizens have had to come here with this many people, some people taking off their jobs that they may be at risk of losing the tell you what you should already know. being elected by the people, you

sit on your butt and you don't do nothing for the people. you worry about what the lobbyists is going to say, who is going to vote for you because of transparency? you will cease to become humane and you should not be in a position that you are and if human value and the strength and the production of that citizen with society, but valuable human beings for this planet, for this family of humans. you have failed in rural society, and it is time. it is time for the people to change, overthrow, and remove the government. i think you should be part of that higher echelon. like someone said before, set the stage for what politics should be. you know? [chime]

[applause] president chiu: next speaker. >> hello, board. how are you? i'm an active member of the community as well as the san francisco occupation. i want to say that my heart is broken. i am not much of a political figure, more of an indigenous spiritual factor. i see everyone here, you are human beings like me. i just wanted to say for everyone that is watching this, you are all humans and you all have hearts. and you all have moral conduct, hopefully. to look in the mirror every morning, we have to eat and sleep. we are all the same. i love everyone of you equally,

non biased to what life has presented us with our with the system has put in front of us. i want you to know that for everything that you do, it comes back to you. and you have a heart, and i want you to please, for the goodness of all of us that are not as fortunate as maybe you are, to help us out and to get some tents, maybe just be comfortable in this movement so we don't have to face what will happen on sunday were a person like me was getting the stock, plunged, and kicked while i was trying to save people. it happened about 56 times. i'm still standing here to say that i love you had to help us out in the movement. that is all i can do for myself and you right now. if god bless you.

>> mic check. i'm bill peterson, i have been living and working as a carpenter in san francisco since 1987. i haven't been sleeping there because i am too old and too much of a pussy to slep i want to say, thanks to the members of the board of supervisors, thank you for being to us. and i want to thank the police. they have been respectful and they're escorting us here. at night, when they cause the problems, some as giving them in order to do that. find out who is giving them

those orders, and make them stop. [applause] >> thank you. the next speaker. >> thank you for having me and i thank you so much for all of your hard work, also. i am a participant in the marches. i am of full-time volunteer for a yoga organization that has been here for four years. we live communally, and it works. the time i have spent and seen them out there, we're all educated on how to share and meet the requirements that you have asked for. this is not causing a problem, and this is a way to live in the future and they are trying to demonstrate this in their message and their actions with how they live and how they

share. it is important in the symbolic nature as well. i feel that everyone in the board has to realize that this is not business as usual. this is not a musical festival. and this is a protest. it will be a different set of circumstances and this is a worldwide protest, and this is a conscious movement and you shouldn't buy yourself to join in with this movement that is happening all over the world and not just in san francisco. the people here who came in, who say to people from a fire, they are heroes. the world is on fire. and they are alarming the world to this. we need to honor them. thank you.

>> the next speaker. >> good evening, supervisors. i am susan church. i am here for an effort -- and also pregnancy center. you voted in favor of -- ideally noted that you were allowing the free speech of occupy san francisco but i was disappointed because i would have hoped they would have supported the free speech of crisis pregnancy centers as well. and also, in spite -- understand that occupy san francisco is concerned about how funds are used in san francisco. entering into a court case against crisis pregnancy centers would be improper use of

citizens fines. in 1981 i became pregnant, i went to a city health center, to get a pregnancy test and in 1980, the thought was that women should just get rid of their baby, because there was no, how exciting for you, there was no congratulations and nothing. 10 years later, i had a miscarriage, and the doctors sent me home with no compassion that i was concerned and wanted to have that baby. i ended up having that miscarriage in a public restroom in a hospital, and i was all by myself and no one came in, the baby came out in my hand and i wanted to run down the halls and

say, this is a human being. and i wanted it. it really upsets me. >> thank you very much. the next speaker? >> one speaker in the chamber and that is the next speaker at the podium. >> i am ryan, i was occupy wall street from the 17th to the 19th. i love everyone who is there and everyone who is organizing the marches and the other actions that they see themselves doing. my concentration is on building a structure to meet people's needs for free and we are providing food for people, with three hot meals per day, giving

people access to cellular phones and the internet, through direct democracy and voluntarily. i would like to make this a sustainable model, with community pizza ovens, where people can meet each other's needs and we ask that you do what you can to make certain that the police don't come in and destroy what i will try to make in the next few weeks. if you would like to help me do that, or other individuals to build a sustainable model of living, please get in contact with us. thank you very much. >> i am terry jones and i have been marching with occupy san francisco. i am so happy after going to so

well arranged demonstrations against the invasion of iraq, all of those demonstrations did nothing. i am in all of the members of this movement that just take the space, and take the time at a time in history when corporations and the rich are taking all of the space, and taking all of the time away from us. i am just amazed by the members and appreciate listening to all of them and have been so deeply shocked at hearing what san francisco, the rulers of san francisco are doing. it is out of the spirit of san francisco. these people need our support. these people need to be nurtured.

they are involved in an beautiful experiment, trying to envision a just world and they need to some support, and they need to have a roof over their heads, even if this is just fabric. it is shocking that our city will not allow us to have this, and that the mayor, who is responsible. whose side are you on?

>> the next speaker? i am carolyn miers, a citizen in support of occupy san francisco. we saw all over the world how the people of the world were rising up and they were fighting for what they think we have here, which wheat -- which is democracy. it is something that all of us want to have here. what i would like task is, everyone involved in a political party, urged them to stop taking corporate donations. but i look at congress and i feel like they are too far gone, the two main parties -- when you have someone you love, democracy, they are a drug addict and you have to have an intervention and occupy san francisco is that intervention. i joined the green party, the

party that takes no corporate donations. like many people of my generation who are activists -- we got stuck in protests and they are moving beyond just protests. i hope we recognize that we have the right to real power, to have the elected represent us and represent our people. what stands in the way of that is that we are afraid of what the monied interests will do to us and we all have to support each other until we are no longer afraid. >> the next speaker?

>> no one has come to me. you have spoken to everyone and made a mess of things. what do we hear from the mayor and the police chief and everyone who says anything. we have the first amendment rights, but what? we have been treated to a system that is broken, through nepotism, and this is in the tail on the mayor day. this is executive. and this is failed. not only is this an executive's failure, but the police can go robe, where every change of the watch as their own rules. they come down in the middle of the night based on their own desires, causing these things to go on. i have been there, watching this. my take on this is we have a first amendment right.

griswald vs. conn. this gives us the right of privacy. you cannot have reproductive rights if you don't have a place to reproduce. we deserve all the public services and we are no longer asking, we are demanding. you see to apply for permits. and we did. what is the answer that came through today. we have no process to give you a permit for this demonstration. when are you going to start acting like the legislative body that you are, instead of the self credit -- congratulate people that you have become to me over the last year and a half. >> thank you very much. and the next speaker?

>> i was attorney in this town for almost 20 years and i know what this town is. this is a town that hates poor people and does everything it can to incarcerate people. i would like to give props to terry. the best thing about her is that she is not a democrat. will not endorse you or endorse candidates, we are non- political. please do not use footage from occupy san francisco in your ads. thank you, councilmember, for appearing at the protest. i know your history as a radical, and i wish that he would return to this. mr. we know -- mr. wiener and mr. compos, i did not appreciate

you laughing when the man was talking about 9/11. i would like to say to my people that it is never appropriate to say that someone was just following orders. that is what the nazi guard said when they killed the jews. this is not an acceptable defense under any law and the human rights intervention. and this is for certain. i would like to read as much as i can from thomas jefferson. if the american people ever let banks control the currency, the banks and corporations will deny the people of all property until their people wake up homeless.

thomas jefferson. [applause] >> good afternoon. i am here as a member of the -- >> i am here to support the protest against police repression, and the criminalization of police brutality. i am moved because another world is in birth. this is what is happening. people are taking back the world. we have to see the connection between what is happening, the people who have occupied san francisco, we want to see the connection between what is happening there and what is happening in the black community, where there has been occupation of people's lives.

we talk about the killing of can if harding, and the killing of charles hill and what has been going on daily in this city and across the country. we need to draw connections between what happens in the occupation of san francisco and what happens with a different occupation in the bay view and hunters. . we're asking people to come out to this area to support people of the bayview, and people around san francisco will have a protest against police brutality. we will have people supporting the occupation, with the bayview district as well. and i salute you. >> the next speaker? >> good afternoon, supervisors

and members of the public. i think this microphone should be adjusted so that they can turn around so people want to speak to the people who have come in here to the people who have come in under their own time, they should do this. i would like for you to adopt question time for the public, to force the mayor to come in to have direct questions, the public should have the ability to make you answer direct questions from the public. this is accountability and democracy. a lot of you have said good things about occupy san francisco. on behalf of view -- the libertarian party of san francisco, i thank you for your support of the party -- but i

want for it -- i want for you to tell that he did not act against occupy san francisco unless there is a complaint from a member of the public in you will look into that documented complaints and that complaint should be delivered in writing to the protesters. and the protesters should act on this before any police action. and people need to be able to express their sentiments in this room. there should be no prohibitions on people clapping were expressing their sentiment. and we need to take the money, one of every three city government employees, according to the san francisco chronicle -- make over $100,000 per year and the rank-and-file police officers make $92,000 per year, not including overtime. it is probably higher today.

jeff is right, we need pension reform to get the money back. >> thank you very much. next speaker? >> the best message i can think to communicate through this particular form is to the people of san francisco, in north beach, the financial district and the embarcadero and all the other areas of the city. come out of your homes and down to this area, so that we can communicate compassionately and understand what to do with this extremely dangerous situation. this is a global resolution for peace and direct democracy. when the police were wearing riot gear, beating us, some of

them were weeping, and that shows me the possibility that people can change in their hearts and we can change minds here and get together and heal this thing. we don't want this to get ugly. as far as the people in this room, you people doing things with these particular rules is not democracy and has caused the extreme poverty in specific neighborhoods, and others have an extreme abundance. the model for the true form of democracy is taking place in occupy san francisco. we're asking to help us fix this thing and save the planet without any more violence. >> the next speaker?

>> i, on behalf of the president of san francisco and i am a supporter of occupy san francisco. there are questions about what these demands are, corporate greed and unemployment, the corporate influence on politics and the war. these are symptoms of the madness that the political system we have has given birth to. there are no demands or compromises. this is about the love we have for each other and the needs we have as human beings. greed is squeezing the life out of 99%. we have to show the world that we are progressive or as progressive as we claim to be. occupy must succeed. this board and the people of the city, please support these

efforts. >> i am eugene gordon. the nations of planet earth should the constitution of exchange for labor and basic needs, called capital currency which gives people the ability to meet and impose life, with financial cause. the antagonist of class rank divide for using security forces and the protection of these means, with the exchange -- human rights are speculation market, thinking to labor with the class rank divide.

law enforcement and the contradictions with the political economy exposed peace and friendship, and the geography needs to find natures need for a safety security force, not interfering with the mutual labor exchange for basic needs, about planet earth interacting in intercourse with the capital currency as a means for label -- labor needs exchange challenges public ownership of means of production, which approached the collective community labor, and the united effort to resolve conflicting movements. >> thankou
