I just wanted to thank everybody who was part of the Port Action Committee; I didn’t really have time to attend those meetings as well as the GAs and the LBL meetings and all the other marches I’m doing, but I trusted in your collective wisdom and I wasn’t let down. Here in Oakland it was a huge success, and I think that we also owe a lot of thanks to all the Occupy folk who came out from all over Northern California and from cities across the nation. Everybody who brought their energy and their positivity and their negativity and the whole damn beautiful Oakland thing. I saw so many good friends and met so many cool people. I was there at the westmost gate till the end with you guys and gals, you probly remember me with my flag and my sign about the Fed. It was inspiring that we kept that picket going for 2 hours in solidarity with our brothers and sisters at Occupy Seattle. And 2 hours is about all the sleep I got last night too before I headed off to my crappy job…. cheers Occupy Oakland!
Thanks to everyone for the work on the Port Shut-down

I just wanted to BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO everyone who was part of the Port Action Committee. Congratulate yourselves all you want, the action was still lame and not thought out and ineffective and….
I know it’s fun to gather and feel like you’re making a difference, but that doesn’t mean we can just pretend we are and ignore the reality. BOOOO to you. Shame.
It sure is nice when excessive flyering pays off!
