Dear Bro. Trent:
I want to thank you for your stalwart and massive work in 1999 to thwart the State's attempt to destroy me.
Your work since then to give voice to the damned has been nothing short of noble and just. I than you and your brethren in the ILWU for standing and fighting for life, for justice and for freedom! when workers unite the earth trembles and the heavens shake!
I and my Family thank you!
