About me:
We are Camp Quixote. An independant free form tent city in Olympia Washington. Formed by the Poor People's Union on Feb. 01,2007. Originally set up in protest to Ordinance No. 6456n, criminalizing sidewalk sitting with a maximum fine of 90 days in jail and a $1000 fine.This act of civil disobediance, this tent encampment, was carried out in responce to growing discontentment amongst Olympia's poor people over the slow, systematic attempt at the dispossession of our city's homeless, orchestrated and supported by some city official's and buisness owners. The PPU believes the rights to shelter, dignity, and mental and physical health to be basic human entitlements, and that a community where all individual members are valued and their contributions recognized must be realized. The PPU believes that all people are entitled to these basic rights and if these rights are not provided, we believe it is essential for us to take what is necessary for survival by the means available. The Staqte thus far has proved inadequate in addressing our needs as human beings, and the situation has grown too urgent for us to wait for eigther institutionalized charity or bureaucratically hampered government aid. We are thus attempting to take matters into our own hands. TO BE TREATED AS HUMAN BEINGS IS OUR GOAL. As there is a stigma attached to our being homeless, we will create homes of our own and show ourselves to be reasonable, caring members of the community, as capable of taking care of ourselves as any other group of people. In our encampment, we will keep order, prohibiting drugs, alcohol, violence, and theft. These are our only regulations. We will work towards creating sustainable, permanent housing for all who are in need, and to create a space for those who are looked down upon to be integrated into the community, not out of charity or pity but out of acceptance, solidarity, and mutual appreciation. We run our community as a Direct Democracy, and all descisions are made by group concensus. We are NOT HOMELESS, only houseless. Our community provides safety, stability, security, and acceptance for all of us. We help each other to help ourselves by offering moral support, encouragement, respect, and community involvement. We provide each other with a positive social space where we can exchange and share resources, positive leisure activities, help one another with emotional development and how to work within a group. Camp Quixote is a great place for finding, sharing and developing individual talents and skills. We provide a positive, progressive society for those society has rejected. We have a vision of a self-sustaining permanent encampment of eco-friendly structures and a community garden. We are trying to raise funds and work with the city council to resolve the issues confronting the homeless in Olympia, Wash. We are looking for a place for us to permanently call home. We are Family for the Forgotten and we provide progress for the poor, love for the lost, homes for the houseless, hope for the hopeless and we are connecting the community with the classless. Anyone wishing to donate funds/ and or materials to the cause of Camp Quixote is much appreciated. We can be contacted at the Oly Unitarian Congregation 2200 East End St. NW Olympia, Washington, 98502. Also, we can be emailed at quixotecoyotes@yahoo.com

Please share protest info/interests as you become aware and direct interested protesters to your web site and myspace page by posting a link and profile on SwarmTheCastle.com, to allow the web site to continue to unleash its full range of capabilities as a valuable resource to the protest community. Create an individual or organization profile and help us continue to create a stable communication source dedicated solely to connecting protesters and providing protest information and connections to the American people by the American people. As well as providing a dynamic venue for people to be reasonably heard (Uncensored) on protest issues.
Help us improve commnication to reach the many people who would have liked to participate in protest events but do not receive the info (dates and events) until seeing and hearing media coverage after the event has already happened - often times because they are not affiliated with any activist groups that could have relayed them the information.
Look forward to learning more about you. Keep Posting!

We also need your help if you become aware of protest events taking place during the new year, to please join with us to keep more of America's protest community informed in a diverse and open forum by adding the event on the SwarmTheCastle.com protest forum if it is not already posted.
It has been recently reported that the town of Brattleboro has been under attack from increased acts of abuse and hatred from Bush and Cheney supporters and need to hear support from the rest of the American Citizens who recognize clearly the blatant abuse upon the people's rights damaged and threatened by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney's acts of crimes against our constitution.
The town of Brattleboro, Vt has displayed great bravery and courage in bringing forth a petition eligible to be placed on the voting ballot that calls for the indictment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for crimes against our Constitution and thus calling for the arrest and detention of George W Bush and Richard Cheney in Brattleboro if they are not duly impeached, and prosecute or extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them.
