(snip)
The undersigned so far include Salman Rushdie, Neil Gaiman, Lemony Snicket, Russell Banks, Jennifer Egan, Barbara Ehrenreich, Eve Ensler, Naomi Klein, Jonathan Lethem, Ann Patchett, David Rakoff, Donna Tartt.

The website carrying the declaration and its signers went live late last night, as an encouragement to the movement. More names are being added all the time.

(snip)
The site still launched with more than 200 names, Pulitzer Prize winners among them. Although the statement is short, it still contains an implicit message to Mayor Bloomberg himself.

"There are radical writers on this list, but there are also the kind of writers who maybe Bloomberg takes their books with him on a vacation to the beach. We wanted to say, 'Look, you've been outflanked. The movement draws as much from the people you consider to be your base.'"

I hope it continues growing. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Lemony Snicket? I wonder what his Handler thinks of that.
