Just wanted to thank everyone who helped me with the #FANS T-shirt idea. Both speakers and non speakers, I could not do this without you.
Tonight we planted a seed. We have more planned for future meetings.
I think a lot of people are missing the point. Fans and people alike. Walking out is a poor excuse of a move. There's a huge difference in what I did. I want change, and I can't change anything from my couch. I'm in the fox hole. I'm getting it done. I stayed to fight and I'm fighting for change. You can protest, violently or peacefully without actually showing up. Walking out isn't a solution. At least not one that I've ever seen work. Hold 'em up. Make them change. Don't just walk out, or lay down. Fight. This goes for everyone. Bored? Don't like what Sandy Sheedy said? Want more jobs, events, a revitalization of downtown and Natomas, etc.? Show up and be heard. Don't stay home and just tweet about it. Actions speaks louder than words. Except mine. My words are pretty awesome. Now think about all that, and hopefully you'll get it. You CAN'T have your voice heard without showing up.
The pipe bomb (microphone) exploded earlier tonight at the city council meeting and we shocked everyone in attendance and from home. When I asked if anyone were FANS of what we discussed to be like the real Slim Shady and to please stand up, please stand up. And they did. And I was told the council had a surprised look on their faces and I missed it because I had to turn around to see what kind of support we had in the room. More than 3/4 of the room were in support. We won tonight's battle. We still need to win the war. Who will join me? #FANS
