Public Service Announcement
A group of students at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus are conducting an investigation on the demographics of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, focusing on the Hispanic participation.
If you or anyone you know, have participated in an New York City OWS event, especially if you identify as a Latino/Hispanic, the students would appreciate your help with their project.
They have established an on-line survey en Español and in English.
The links go to an established survey site, but I always use ‘private browsing’ [Firefox] or an ‘incognito window’ [Chrome] to complete surveys. The survey takes about 10 minutes, and individual surveys are identified only by a number. There is a complete explanation before the survey starts.
If you can help them out I’d appreciate it because I did this kind of thing when I was taking classes, but I didn’t have on-line surveys to use. [If you think it’s tough getting people to take surveys on-line, try getting them to sit with a bubble sheet and a booklet of questions …]
I’ll make this sticky for a few days.

Done. Will they send it on to the FBI?
If they send it to the FBI on a disk, it will be safe forever. Hoover’s boys having spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to computerize and have yet to get anything that will actually boot up. Don’t believe the hype about their technical skills.
I was wondering why they contacted me, but it may have been a suggestion by one of the Puertorriqueños I worked with at other places. My family ties are to South America, not Central America or the Caribbean.
I appreciate your helping them out, as they seem to be very nice people based on our e-mail exchange. I pointed them to a more targeted blog, so they should reach their goal with any luck. They don’t want to go over by much as that is a commercial site and it probably charges them by the number of surveys completed.
