[UC] Citizens boycott FOCP last night!
Well done West Philadelphia! Last night, the FOCP presented one of their infamous dog and pony shows. They held illegitimate elections which were not announced, refused to allow new business, and silenced good faith assistance as usual. (At three consecutive shows over the past couple years, Glenn Moyer was silenced in less than 15 seconds during the 5 minutes left for the public to praise FOCP) The gang’s President, Mr. Frank Chance, continued to blame the UC Review for failing to publish their announcements as ordered by the FOCP association members several years ago. In his typical hot headed manner, Mr. Lew Melmon, silenced a long term park volunteer calling election processes and public announcements, “your bugaboo.” (You may remember that at last years “election” an angry group challenged Mr. Melmon for flipping out at the Best Fest and violently tossing a Frisbee at the property of performers. Many citizens gave the gang twenty dollars expecting an honest fair election to topple Mr. Melmon's power. Fair and honest FOCP elections-hahaha. Mr. Melmon's election as vice president was, of course, never in doubt) But West Philadelphia citizens did not show up last night for the typical gangland shenanigans! They did not give these clowns twenty dollars to treat them with contempt! Well done West Philly I did not pay the twenty dollar poll tax required to have a voice in the policies for our formerly public park. But as an optimist, I attended in order to thank the FOCP for standing up to Penn Real Estate/UCD, and in order to pledge my assistance to work constructively for reform of the association. Mr melmon silenced me immediately after my thanks and Mr Chance followed-up with the on-going ridiculous accusation against the UC Review. Neighbors, they couldn’t find residents willing to join their board! So they anointed one of the propagandists pushing the dog park even though she was not present for the election. You will soon hear the FOCP whine that “nobody puts their money where their mouth is” and nobody shows up when ordered for their work days. These pathetic clowns believe that they can treat their members and the community like shit, and then order people to show up, give them twenty dollars, and follow their work orders. As we have experienced time and again, neighbors only give the FOCP/SHCA/UCHS twenty dollars out of terror when they feel compelled to stop whatever the FOCP/SHCA/UCHS and UCD have secretly plotted. (Of course, middle class families pay them about 50 bucks so that their children may play soccer at the fee required upscale park) Neighbors, when the FOCP whines and demands money from you; do not give them one penny! If you wish to serve this community, contact the IRS and ask for the 501 c 3 status of FOCP to be stripped for the continuous violation of bylaws such as their continuous refusal to properly announce meetings and elections. Contact any funding agencies and explain that FOCP is a mean-spirited gang working against the interests of the community and democratic processes in order to recreate our much loved public park into a privatized upscale recreation center. Well done West Philly! The pathetic FOCP is collapsing because of its decades of outrageous contempt for this community!

Re: [UC] Citizens boycott FOCP last night!
Yes, where indeed? I hardly knew what to TiVo and what to switch between channels on the remote. It might have unlucky, specially in light of the Phillies game. (Not so common) I do not know how much earlier this meeting was scheduled. Well, I HAD to watch Project Runway's Season Finale. It was the first season I have watched it. I usually watch Top Chef.

Re: [UC] Citizens boycott FOCP last night!
Wilma and Frank, You made the right choices. The funniest part was that the FOCP reputation has sunk so low that no one wanted to join their board. It was hilarious. But I was nice and kept my laughter on the inside. When they once again were such frightened babies that they silenced me for the third consecutive time I attended, I just got up and walked out. I really felt bad for Matt because he worked hard and is not like those other bullies and frightened babies! Their protection of tightly controlled dog and pony shows is embarrassing for the entire community, not just them.

Re: [UC] Citizens boycott FOCP last night!
Since Friends of Clark Park are secret masters of the universe, we are understandably puzzled that the universe failed to conform these impudent presidential debates and playoff games to our meeting calendar, which was plainly published one year ago -- right up there on the internet, where both Major League Baseball and the two-party system could read it! Our vengeance may be slow in coming, but it will be stern. -- Tony West Maybe next time they won't schedule their meeting during a playoff game, a presidential debate AND the Project Runway finale!
