OCCUPY DENVER ELECTS LEADER
In response to
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock's insistence that Occupy
Denver choose leadership to deal with City and State
officials, and drawing inspiration from the notion
that corporations are people, Occupy Denver's General
Assembly has elected a leader: Shelby, a three year old
Border Collie. "Shelby is closer to a person than any
corporation: She can bleed, she can breed, and she can show
emotion. Either Shelby is a person, or corporations aren't
people," said a Shelby supporter at the time of her
election.
Occupy Denver reserves the right to alter leadership
status, but for now, Shelby exhibits heart, warmth, and an
appreciation for the group over personal ambition that
Occupy Denver members feel are sorely lacking in the leaders
some of them have voted for on national, state, and local
levels. Accordingly, Occupy Denver looks forward to
communication with Mayor Hancock and Colorado Governor John
Hickenlooper sometime this week to introduce their
leadership.
Newly-elected
leader Shelby will be leading this Saturday's Occupy Denver
march against Corporate Personhood, and invites all other
civic minded dogs (and their leash-holders) to join.
