A report from Occupy Wasilla - and a nice photo of DU's own Arctic Dave

[Blue_In_AK]

My friend Phil Munger (Progressive Alaska) was part of Occupy Wasilla today and has posted about it with some video at his website here: http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/ It may not look like much, but as Phil said, 19 people in Wasilla is equivalent to 95,000 in New York, and it IS Palin Country, after all, so I think this was good.

Occupy Anchorage had fewer people than last week, maybe around 100, but lots of enthusiasm considering that it's getting cold. I'll post some photos later.

3. Did you go to Wasilla, too??

The pics I took of you and Arctic Jodie turned out really good. If you'll give your consent I'll post one right here in this very thread. :)

4. Not to Wasilla.

We had to get tires changed over and warm up.


Jodie and I don't have a problem posting our pictures.
