Thanks for a great coverage of events in downtown Seattle. Your reporters are critical, insightful and well-formulated.

Further I can tell you that the Seattle activists get a lot of coverage here in Denmark as well. I think they deserve it. The neo-liberal project of WTO should be fought by all means and itīs about time that people organize the struggle against the global elite of politicians, civil servants and transnational capitalists. As we know it is in fact only this group that benefits from a deregulation of world trade.

As for now, keep up the good work!

This is a nice and elegant site, put together with good taste. Thanks for not burdening me down with a lot of flashy GIFs and cutsy-poo folderol.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, thanks for the point of view which I am in agreement with.

I picked up a copy of the "Welcome to Seattle" issue when I was down from Bellingham for the Teach-In and read today’s on the Internet. Jeepers, had I known I might have stayed and sharpened pencils for you. But anyway I am writing about the Battle in Seattle for the National Writers Union periodical. Keep up the great work.

I wan't to tell you how great it has been (and still is) to be linked to your news. How fantastic to have a friendly news source throughout this whole thing - a place to go to get decent information and perspective on what happened here last week. I told people that I had a feeling this would be historic and that feeling is stronger every day. Our message IS more powerful than teargas, robocops, and hysterical media. I know it took a lot to make it happen - so much went into the week by so many - but you have and are making such a great contribution to us all. I know I speak for many more than myself when I say THANK YOU ALL!  You go!

Peace and Power,
Sandra Kerber
