UPDATE on OccupyAtlanta -- Mayor DENIES telling the group to leave
http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/mayors-office-denies-occupy-1207805.html

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed’s office denied an Occupy Atlanta leader’s assertion that protesters who have been camped at Woodruff Park had to leave Saturday or face arrest.

“There has been no such order,” Reed spokeswoman Sonji Dade told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “That is not true.”

Occupy Atlanta leader Tim Franzen emerged from a meeting with the mayor several hours earlier Saturday and said a livid Reed had demanded that protesters who have occupied the park for several weeks clear out.

“He was very angry, very upset,” said Franzen, who added that the mayor began “yelling right away” after they entered the mobile unit.

OA states on the FB page that the promoters of the hiphop concert that was going to happen failed to pay for permits. I'm still trying to sort out what is happening.

But they are safe and sound for now. THANK YOU for all who called!
