[HCCN] Fwd: URGENT: OCCUPY BANGOR needs Warm Bodies in Peirce Park to show Solidarity!

[Larry Dansinger]

Please spread the word to others in your group or area. Thanks.

This appeal is from Sunday, but the need is still great. If you can  
help out or know others in the area who might come down to Peirce  
Park to support or occupy, that will be a wonderful.
