Occupy Omaha&#8217;s General Assembly had no involvement in the planning of the event and was not aware of its existence until it was publicly announced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Americans for Prosperity, a Koch Brothers-funded propaganda machine, has described the event as a debate between &#8216;a leader from Occupy Omaha&#8217; and their state director. It has long been known that only the General Assembly speaks for Occupy Omaha and that we have no individual leaders. As such, the promoters&#8217; use of the Occupy Omaha name is illegitimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">The event was discussed for the first time at our Feb. 1 General Assembly, three days before the event, and the General Assembly voted unanimously to disown the event and request that the organizers not use our name in conjunction with it.
