11.9 Meeting with Mayor’s Office
While I agree with the Occupy Portland movement and have shown solidarity through demonstration in the past, I must urge you to work with Portland City Council to resolve the health and safety concerns they have for the park and its residents. I celebrate your stand against the eviction, and will continue to support the movement. But the only way to convince City Council to let the movement stay put is to offer every possible bit of help in their mission to keep Portland safe and healthy. I’ve also written to every member of City Council, urging them to cooperate with Occupy leadership on these matters, and hope that you can continue your peaceful demonstration for the need for broad economic reform in these troubled times. Thank you for doing what I can’t and representing me!

Using that hypochondriac d-bag is really going to advance your cause!!! You claim to be the 99% but I am telling you that you do not represent the majority. What percentage of this group have careers, families, mortgages, i.e responsibilities? It looks like your spokespeople represent the stereotypical p-town slackers. Facial hair?Check. Wool hats? Check? Dressed like you don’t give a shit? Check mate. How about putting some effort when you address the media and make demands. No one takes your shit seriously accept the 20′s crowd with nothing better to do. Perhaps it is time for you slackers to put your nose to the grind stone and stop looking for others to blame. And stop including everyone else into your f**king 99%
