Occupy Cleveland has decided it's time to broaden its base.
Members of the movement will set up an information table in front of Marc’s Plaza on Detroit Avenue this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“I just want to be very clear: we are not occupying Lakewood,” said Anthony Hayne, who is organizing the information session.
Hayne, a Lakewood resident since 2001, said there will be about six or seven members of Occupy Cleveland, which stems from the Occupy Wall Street movement, at the table Saturday.
“We’re not doing this to try to force people to join our movement,” he said. “We’re just trying to give people who want to join our movement a chance to listen, and we want to listen to what they have to say, as well.”
Mayor Michael Summers said Hayne contacted him to ask if the group needed to apply for any permits.
They did not, he said.
“There’s nothing to prevent them from distributing information on public property,” Summers said. “It’s their first amendment right.”
Hayne said the group is hoping to reach out to suburban residents who might be interested in participating in Occupy Cleveland, but may think only residents of Cleveland proper are welcome.
“This is the first suburb we’re going to do this in, but it definitely won’t be the last,” he said.

These young people are American Heros! Democracy in Action! Isn't it nice to see people DOING something (other than bitching and moaning and shaking the head and shrugging their shoulders and not voting then complaining)? Whether you agree with their agenda or not is not the issue here.

heros? if by hero's you mean raping girls, smoking weed, trashing parks, public urination, etc. the end result of all this stupidity will just be damaged property. these protests have drawn media attention and their 15 minutes will be up once the snow flies.

Hey M.C. None of that has been proven. What have YOU done lately for the good of mankind? At least they have the guts to stand up to all those that have created quite a mess here in the USA. And it's been way more than 15 Minutes, but you can count right? I remember many protest including slavery and equal rights and the WARS including Vietnam. Were they all wrong too?

Real brave hero you are, Hammer ... you hide behind a pseudonym and get all hyped up on radical right-winged rhetoric.
