In a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) application, Robert and Diane Maresca are seeking to trademark the phrase “Occupy Wall St.” so that they can place it on a wide variety of goods, including bumper stickers, shirts, beach bags, footwear, umbrellas, and hobo bags.

The October 18 filing, made in Diane Maresca’s name, cost the couple $975, which Robert Maresca, 44, termed “something of a gamble” in a TSG interview.

Maresca, pictured at right, lives with his wife, an occupational therapist, and three children in West Islip. He refers to himself as a “relatively conservative person” who is pro-union and best categorized as a political independent. A former union ironworker, Maresca said that he has been disabled by a stroke and seizures.

Asked if his move to stake a legal claim to “Occupy Wall Street” might be seen as a crass attempt to cash in on a movement that has a harsh view of corporations and capitalism, Maresca answered, “No.” Noting that he has a “practical business side,” Maresca added that, “If I didn’t buy it and use it someone else will.”

When he first checked the USPTO database, Maresca recalled, he discovered that a Brooklyn man had filed for a trademark for “We Are The 99%.” Still, he believed that “Occupy” would prove to be “a more powerful brand.”

Maresca said that he has visited the Wall Street protest site on several occasions and believes that corporations have too much influence on elected officials. While he has yet to mass produce any “Occupy Wall Street” product, Maresca said that he has inked some t-shirts with magic markers. Additionally, his wife has some experience making clothing and bags at home.

This was the response:

“To end the fractional banking system. we as Americans bust our a** day in and day out for what? We have had the most foreclosures in history, and the highest gas prices ever within the past year. Milk goes up, gas goes up, rent goes up, taxes go up, does everyone’s wages go up? how are we supposed to survive? We suffer as The rich get richer & the poorer get poorer. We send all this money overseas to “help” others when we have the same issues.here that are ignored. We have poverty, ppl with no health care, good hard working citizens that are losing everything they own. If we as people stand together our voices will be heard on the global level. But to do that we have to be able to raise money for travel, food,tents, clothing, etc. once we are occupying a majority of the states there’s nothing they can do but at least hear us out n let us Americans voice our opinions.”

I feel this is extremely well worded and there is a clear message from this person… but once again, siding with Neil, MAKE THIS YOU MESSAGE!   NON-VIOLENT ORGANIZED MESSAGE.  Let people know what it’s about because there’s no real organized answer.  I commend you Mr. Rose.  I hope for your sake, and that of the American people it does happen.  I am going to email back and see if he would like to join us on the show… we will see.

I also wanted to hit on another Topic… The Passing of Steve Jobs.  I am a PC person, but was kinda saddened by the passing of Steve Jobs more then then I thought, and especially for someone I have never personally met.  Then while chatting with this sites creator over a few drinks started to realize how many jokes could come from this… I laughed so hard I cried… it was duel feelings.  I have listed a few of them below and some links to sites below:
