Call Mayor Mcginn's office and tell them not to turn this into another WTO debacle: 206 684 4000!

6. "We've indulged them for a few days."

UPDATE 2: Park officials say the protesters will be asked to leave the park when it closes at 10:00 p.m. "Then the police will come in and ask them to leave, try to shoo them out," says Seattle Parks and Recreation spokeswoman Dewey Potter. "If they don't leave, if anyone wants to get arrested, they can stay, because it would then become a trespassing offense."

"It's time," Potter continues. "We've indulged them for a few days."

8. The strong-armed tactics will backfire on them
Remain peaceful, no matter what they do. This tactic will always backfire. My Heart is singing at the courage of these young people, just singing!
