How To Stop the Sale of Our Ports. Shut Them Down!
We need to shut down the ports in question. If Bush refuses to stop the sale, and congress doesn't act fast enough, we need to show them that we are serious. We need to picket the gates of the ports. Nothing in or out for at least one day. Even pugs can relate to this. The momentum is on our side.

I live near the ports in Philly. The thought of this scares the crap out of me, and it should scare you to.

Anybody up for a protest?

1. Look to the longshoreman's' Union's to put an end to this madness.
It's my hope the Longshoremen will shut the ports down for as long as it takes to stop this madness.

It up to us to support the Unions that strike and others that boycott the ports involved.

This appears to me like a quid-pro-quo to England. They'll get a good price from the UAE for the sale of there franchise. Perhaps that is the price it took to get England to go along with the US on our war in Iraq.

It looks like #10 Downing Street is about to have a new occupant in the near future; secrecy and time is of the essence.
