The Writer's Notebook

1.) Tear out all the pages from those destroyed #OWSLibrary books that were “recovered” from the sanitation department.

2.) On each page print, stamp, or write:

Mike Bloomberg Destroyed this Book.

on one side, and on the other side print, stamp, or write: :

When Mike Bloomberg Destroyed Our Library #OWS

3.) Hand these pages out as flyers .. in The Village .. and in SoHo. 

Enjoy the Fall of Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

Then came reports from @OWSLibrary that #ThePeoplesLibrary was safe. BUT #OWS needed help transporting books from Bloomberg’s garbage pail. I blasted their announcement across Social Media and briefly considered bundling myself up, heading out to haul books despite the fever I’ve been running—on and off, weird—for days. My buckling knees and general weakness prevailed; I stayed in bed and read reports of what #OWS found at the garbage man: a fraction of #ThePeoplesLibrary collection, a few boxes, 25 boxes of damaged books—the rest of the 5,000 books, missing or destroyed. I cried. I shivered from my fever. Then I wept. REST! my family yells. But how can I rest, I scream back at them, how can I be still when a billionaire dictator is dismantling libraries, destroying books, in New York City?!

#OWS: #ThePeoplesLibrary, last I heard, was almost completely destroyed. There were reports of 25 boxes of books, and a Twitpic, that the Righties pounced on as evidence of the fairness, the kindness of dictator Bloomberg. Of course the books are fine, they scoff, the book are at the department of .. sanitation?

What is this madness? What gives this billionaire the right to essentially throw a public library in the garbage? Just askin’

I don’t believe New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg will ever resign or admit that he’s a dictator. He’s too much of an egomaniac, like all dictators. But I’d like to prove that A LOT of people—from all over America and the world—want Mike Bloomberg out of power immediately. So, I created this simple petition/discussion site here: #RESIGNBloomberg!!! 

Please do consider signing and sharing.
