Photos and Quotes from Rosemary's

UPDATE 4:20pm Friday from MN PPEHRC: "At this very moment Rosemary is on the phone [Correction: a conference call is being set up] with GMAC and her lawyer to work out details of a possible real deal that Rosemary could accept. Again we cannot allow ourselves to let our hopes skyrocket high until papers are signed!"

With a deal allegedly on the table, the tactics have changed on the 7th day of the occupation, with the goal of allowing Rosemary to live in a semi-normal state in her home.  Organizers are still on the watch for police action, however, as they wait to hear further word from GMAC lawyers.  | Photo of email from Elizabeth Glidden about offer from GMAC CEO

"I slept like I didn't think the cops were going to come, and they didn't!" - PPEHRC organizer

Waiting around: "So you guys are all on the same schedule, right?  GMAC's schedule?  They determine our lives and what we do?" - PPEHRC organizer

"The police were trying to push this one out the door and he wouldn't go.  He grabbed the policeman's leg and wouldn't let go of it!" - Rosemary, describing her grandson after the Sheriffs came on Friday
