C&L's #OccupyWallStreet Solidarity Pizza Fundaiser Is Rocking!
Thanks so much for all your help. Please keep it coming. The retweets have helped big time too. We're receiving more emails from those we're helping to feed along with some cool pictures. Jackie of Blue America has taken over as our purchasing manager on this fundraiser so we can make sure the pizzas and whatever else is needed gets shipped or delivered in a timely manner since it's become a pretty intense job right now. We've so far bought dinner for Seattle, Boston, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Let us know where you guys are and what you're doing. We'll bring the pies!
If you'd like to buy the occupiers some nosh, here's the account we've set up:
All amounts accepted and they all help tremendously!
Here's a few emails I've received:
Photo of people eating pizza you contributed at OccupySF at Union Square in San Francisco Oct 01, 2011. Thanks for what you're doing. Those pizzas are very much appreciated all over the country.

Dear Crooks & Liars, I was at Occupy Boston’s initial protest on Friday night, Sept. 30. Your organization delivered a bunch of pizzas to us and I want to thank you! A very simple gesture, but with high impact that did not go unnoticed. We were all hungry, having come right from work or school and just seeing that another organization was behind us and supporting us added to our resolve and sense of purpose. I will tell you that while we were there, truck drivers and other work vehicles were beeping their horns in support as they drove by. I truly believe this is just the beginning and, hopefully, we can turn our country around.
Thanks again.

--Just sending thanks from OccupySF. I went to the General Assembly yesterday and today and both times your pizza donations were mentioned and applauded. It's a small but growing and committed group down there. Your support is very much so appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Crooks & Liars community,
I just got back to my apartment from the Occupy Boston camp and I wanted to let you know how much the pizzas were appreciated. I don't think you guys understand how happy they made us – they were like mana from heaven. Let me explain, we had a large tray of lentils and a large tray of rice for dinner tonight, but by the time General Assembly was finishing up all of this food had been finished. Your pizzas arrived mere minutes before the conclusion of General Assembly, as if on schedule. The pizza delivery actually saved Occupy Boston from having to dip into our supply of non-perishable items, for which we are glad.
While I don't have the authority to speak for the entire community (I don't think anyone does), I would still like to pass along how grateful we were/are for the amazing donation!

--Thank-you on behalf of those of us who weren't even there!!
Thanks for your support.

Please keep the donations coming because you've helped to lift the spirits of those protesting around the country.
the media is using imagery today portraying the OWS'ers as unwashed, dirty, lazy hippies and bums.
"Liberal Demonstrators"
though our masters might get nervous.
Wall Street Demonstrations
all these righties now calling "Occupy Wall Street" the 'tea-party of the Left".....
NO one feels the need to promote themselves as a real bad ass as in carrying weapons...like the tea partiers did during the 2008 campaign...
Just saying.
and WE'RE the 'radicals'...!!!!!!
"dirty, lazy, hippies and bums'.......NONE of them are carrying weapons because they think they're such bad asses....
just saying
didn't see the first one posted....:(
on a balcony and chuckling was perfectly fine, though, even if it was somewhat opportunistic.
No one knew her name, what she did, what she was doing there or even what she might've been chuckling at.
It didn't really matter.
Imagery, Evet.
Yip the power of images
How's the hitch hiking going today?

When it was the dirty, uneducated, sloppy, and pathetic tea partiers demonstrating, Faux noise called them small business owners, miners, and farmers. Media bias is ridiculous.
True liberals/progressives don't simply critique the elite, we actually fight them and win.
We are the media - we choose what you see - and what you hear.

...watching MSNBC airheads Andrea Mitchell and Tamron Hall perplexed over what these protestors could "possibly want to have happen" and "are they having any effect?"...Hall said "one of the LEADERS (speaking of Ezra Klein) would be speaking later today...and she just didn't know if ther were making a difference like the TPrs did...Here's a frigging idea...go back to your studio and have your little minions look back at the files to see the progressin of the TP fiasco and how YOU reported it. Andrea trying to make it all abut globalization and the economy...silly wabbit it was her husband that helped lead this country down a path to destruction and I'll bet MY PENSION they've enriched their little coffers quite nicely along the way...as has much of the media elite. UNTIL the protestors drag the sucky media into one ofthe things they protest against they will get NOWHERE permanently...You are able and courageous rock on...wishing I could be there in person...OOPSIE...poor little Tamron doesn't get what "Corporate Greed" means! and we wonder why folks are generally so ignorant!~
Ian Murphy said there was almost too much pizza there. Maybe somebody should start ordering some salads?
Because I am frustrated I can't be there myself. Good on them for sticking it out!
I'd love to be there. (live in Asia)

There's nothing like the corporate media tools mocking and ridiculing the 99% to get us all motivated and involved. Get involved -
FOX and CNN mock us, scorn us, and ridicule us, the 99%

While republicans strip our right to vote, tax us higher than the rich, and ensure that we have no jobs.

Why do you use Paypal when they are known to be a tool and big time supporter of the right? I'm going to donate to the food fund using my bank account but I won't contribute to support your blog until you quit supporting PP! Wise up Amato!
Credit/debit cards are evil too. What's the alternative?
me-oww!
