This week, the "fine" folks of the Orlando Police Department under the Authority of the Orlando city council arrested three folks from the Orlando Chapter of Food Not Bombs charity for feeding the poor. The ordinance was passed in 2005 and has been challenged in Court. All attempts to rectify the matter in the courts have failed for charity's. This effectively bans the feeding of groups of people more than 25 in number. The reasoning is it attracts homeless in the area which hurts businesses. I say fuck those businesses in Orlando that are heartless and helped create the ordinance which makes people hungry. Beneath the the fold I will list numbers to contact to voice displeasure and will start compiling a list of resources you can donate to such as the Orlando group that has been brave enough to feed them (organic vegetarian food) anyway. This Ordinance has been in effect since 2005.. enough is enough will you help me put pressure on the city of Orlando by boycotting them? Will you help by calling them and telling them why? I will list area businesses and phone numbers to contact to tell them why they will not get your business any longer till the ordinance is changed. Why your vacation will not be to Orlando the place where the poor starve in Eola park?
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter etc.

Some establishments worth boycotting and call them let them now how they can get your business back.
