— at St John’s Bridge….Cathedral Park.What an awe-inspiring, daring and utterly breath-taking direct action by Greenpeace activists at the St. John’s bridge in Portland, OR. 13 courageous and determined GP activists rappelled from the bridge, and were suspended for over 40 hours in their attempt to stop or delay the Fennica, an ice-breaker owned by Shell Corp., bound for the Artic to be used for oil-drilling. They were supported by the “kayaktivists” who bravely tried to block the Fennica from sailing past the bridge, but were overwhelmed by the coast guard in their motorboats. We will always remember the beautiful image of this remarkable direct action of these activists hanging from the bridge, with their colored flags flying in the wind.

Stop Drilling in the Arctic! Obama betrayed us Again…
Why do people support Obama when he supports drilling in the Arctic, offshore drilling, murdering prisoners, 27 unnecessary wars of choice, the suspension of habeas corpus, sending illegal drones knowing each kills an average of fifty innocent people.
If you want this irresponsible drilling stopped, contact the most powerful man on the planet… as if if would do you any good.

Revolution and Liberation… ~OO~
At home, American police bureaus, militarized and armed
with machine-guns, have been provided a license to kill at will and our
president claims a “right” to kill anyone, anywhere, any time, for any
reason or without providing any reason at all. This amoral and
extralegal extortion has been extended abroad in more than 25 corporate
wars of choice. And what is most terrifying is that the American people
have surrendered to this betrayal and treason. With innocents executed
at home and abroad, we are under attack and must stand up and fight
back.The revolution has begun. ~OO~ http://www.ThePortlandAlliance.org/afewwords
Take Action! We are the change we seek!
