UPDATE:DNREC has apparently informed the Occupy Delaware applicants that the permit would be authorized for protests on Saturday and Sunday at Fletcher Brown Park during park hours. However, the permit could not be authorized for the weekends as there is a day care center right next to the park and the children use the park during the day for their outdoor activities. However, the letter that DNREC sent made clear “we would be pleased to work with Occupy Delaware to identify other parks at which a longer term permit could be issued.”

Governor Markell has not yet approved the application of Occupy DE for a permit to occupy Fletcher Brown Park. He will be making his decision in the next 24 hours. This is a no-brainer for him if he wishes to retain the support of not only liberals and progressives, but any one who believes in the First Amendment.
A flood of calls to our leaders and legislators could help tip the decision in our favor.
Please take a minute TODAY to call the governors’s office and your state senator and representative to urge them to support the permit. Click on the link below to find your state legislator’s contact information. Governor Markell’s contact info is (302) 577-3210 Wilmington and (302) 744-4101 Dover
