Ruff draft of my direct action proposal / press release.
I am not a skilled writer.
If someone could edit it and e-mail it back to me that would be helpful.

Occupy encampments are proven to be a very effective technique for people with little capital and no access to the corporate Media to have a voice. 
At the last pop up encampment the police ordered us to take down the tents because park rules state that structures are not allowed in the parks.
But on the same morning battery park was full of giant canvas structures!
Is the law applied more harshly on those who have little capital?
Are rich people above the law in the United States of Money?

Occupy wall street arose primarily to rise the awareness of a class super criminals that thru massive confidence schemes and fraud managed to fleeced tens of millions of  investors of their money, including selling massive amounts of worthless derivatives as low risk high return investments knowing full well that the derivatives were worthless, robbed tens of millions of hard working people of much of their life saving! 
Many people assume that if no one is arrested or charged that no criminality occurred.
But there could be another reason.
Between 1998 and 2008, the financial industry spent over $5 billion on lobbying and campaign contributions. And since the crisis, they're spending even more money on lobbying.

Should we be surprise that the government never conducted any serious investigation, instead they threw tons of money at Wall Street.
And that law enforcement didn't touch the Criminals!
My proposal is to pop up our little tents next to the giant canvas structures in Waterfront park on the afternoon of the second of July for a photo op.
My intent is to make visible the larger double stander in microcosm.
Invite the corporate Media.
Companies and people with deep pockets can afford to get permits to have structures in public places, permits can cost lots of money.
Look at all of the structures in the park at the top of this web site: WATERFRONT PARK INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION
I am assuming that the big structures will be setup the day before the event.
