Waking Up to the 99%

Here is what I woke up to today:
1) The photo above, which speaks for itself as captioned. The nurses are with the 99%!
2) The news from CODEPINK that we had received this awesome letter below. The Canadian postal workers are with the 99%!
 3) This beautiful blog post about bringing our war $$ home from "the Peace Couple", which was linked to a post on another blog reporting the elegant, poetic response of Occupy Wall St.'s General Assembly to the corporate media snarking that they lack "one demand." So the Duke & Duchess of Peace are with the 99%.

I am so happy about all this solidarity that I have tears in my eyes before the sun is even over the horizon this morning. And I went to bed happy that the 99% begin to assemble on Saturday at 11am in Portland. They have a facebook event up and their twitter handle is #OccupyMaine.
