Nancy sends us all the news about OWS-Wyoming that's fit to print

Nancy Sindelar of Veterans for Peace in Laramie has done all of us a favor by tracking down all of the Occupy Wall Street events planned for Wyoming. Nancy contacted me last night about some ugly rumors circulating on Daily Kos that Wyoming, land of more antelope than humans, was Occupyless. As a long-time but very lazy Kossack, I checked it out and set the record straight. Now I have more info for the state-by-state list on Kos.

Nancy notes in her latest-mail newsletter that “Occupy Wall Street has taken hold here in Wyoming, with five actions planned in the next week.” She also points out a link to the new OWS manifesto:  http://current.com/shows/countdown/videos/special-comment-keith-reads-first-collective-statement-of-occupy-wall-street 

Occupy actions will take place in Jackson both Saturday and Sunday. Those in Casper, Cheyenne and Laramie are on Saturday only. A sign-making party is also planned for Cheyenne but no definitive info yet.
