Fox freaks after Ron Paul wins debate

If you’ve noticed a lack of Ron Paul in the mainstream media’s coverage of the 2012 presidential race, it might not be an accident. After he placed first in a Fox News poll, the outlet has removed the results from their website without explanation.
Fox had launched an online poll to gauge readers’ opinions on last night’s Republican show-down and asked their audience, “Which GOP presidential candidate do you think won the Fox News/Google debate?” At one point Paul placed in first, with 30 percent of the votes, but a reader of Infowars.com has pointed out that the poll has disappeared from the website, or has been shuffled to another page far from the front of Fox’s political coverage.
Logging onto the poll now produces an error in which the user is told “No content item selected.”
A screen shot of the poll produced by Infowars shows that Paul led with 24,8945 votes, with Mitt Romney trailing in second place with 22,656 votes, of 27 percent of the total. Rick Perry placed third with 15 percent of the votes, followed by Herman Cain with 9 percent.
Speaking from the stage during last night’s debate, Paul reminded the audience that he has been placing quite well in most surveys as of late. The mainstream media, however, continues to ignore him, despite pleasant polling.
When quizzed during last night’s debate from Orlando, Florida on whom he might consider as a running mate, Paul deterred the question and noted that he wouldn’t bother selecting anyone until he made it in the “top two.” In the meantime, Paul said, he was running in third in most national polls.  d6qWs

Americans are at their breaking point; Hundreds continue to Occupy Wall Street

Anger is only useful when transformed into positive action.

Americans are at their breaking point. The 99% are finally getting together and organizing to prepare their counter attack on the 1% who have enslaved the population through rigged loans, low pay rates and high costs of everything needed to live in modern day America. The American dream has turned into a nightmare as students are graduating with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to a bank while the only jobs available to them pay a fraction of what's needed to live 'just an OK life.'

I refuse to be a slave. I refuse to pay the $100,000 + in student loan interest they say I owe. I will not participate in a system designed to enslave the human race for the benefit of a few powerful individuals.

I am part of the 99% because it has been over a year since I have been able to deposit or cash a paycheck. It's been over 2 years since my car was repossessed and I was evicted from my home for being 2 days late on my rent payment. My college degree is useless in the real world and the only jobs available to me require that I spend half my earnings on gasoline. My local government decided to revoke my drivers license while I was searching for work, because of a disputed 3 year old fix it ticket. The judge forced me to choose between paying $1,200 or going to jail for a year because a cop said that one of the numbers on my license plate was partially blocked. I am part of the 99% against the 1% because I am at my breaking point.

I know that sitting around being angry will not fix anything. I also know that anger can be transformed into positive action. For that reason, I made the trip to San Francisco on September 17 to stand in solidarity with those who continue to stand in defiance of Wall Street greed and corporate influence over our lives at OCCUPY WALL STREET.

If you are part of the 99% it is your time to take action. Write what you feel and share it with someone, tell your neighbors about local protests they can participate in with you, print out flyers and post them up around town, make your own lawn signs and create a home protest, get some sidewalk chalk and take to the sidewalks! Just do something to express what the 1% wants to suppress, your humanity. To the super rich, us 99 percenters are just numbers on their blackberry spreadsheet App.

If you are in the New York area please make it down to Liberty Park and support the occupiers who are sacrificing their normal lives to change ours.

From what I've gathered from people on the ground and online reports, about 20 people have been arrested so far, all for non-issues. The occupiers need to try to reach out to some of the cops and bring humanity to the forefront of any unwelcome confrontation.Some of the police are not complete robot zombies yet, there may still be some hope.  ijeva

40 To 50 Mt. Vernon Residents Evacuated As Natural Gas Fills Vacant Home

Forty to fifty Mt. Vernon residents were asked to leave their homes early Friday night after a strong build up of natural gas was found in a vacant home at 907 South 21st Street. Mt. Vernon Fire Officials say Ameren was first called to the home and found the gas meter spinning fast and the house full of a potentially explosive level of gas. The gas and later electric service was turned off by Ameren, but power company officials were still concerned about a possible explosion. As a result, the fire department evacuated the 900 block of South 21st and the east side of the 900 block of South 22nd. Firemen were initially able to open the front door to naturally ventilate the gas. Once the concentration of gasdropped to a safe level, the home was entered and the back door opened to quickly dissipate the remaining gas. Fire officials placed a truck at both ends of the block in the event of a fire or explosion. They also monitored a lightning storm that ended up going around Mt. Vernon. The evacuation began around 5:15, with the residents allowed to return to their home about two hours later. - http://goo.gl/47ADN
