Members of Occupy Dallas participate in Houston Port protest

"THE 99 PERCENT."
"WE ARE THE 99 PERCENT."
There were more protestors at the port than we’ve seen at any one time for the Occupy Houston protest. That’s because organizers put out calls to Austin, Dallas and San Antonio for fellow occupiers to join them.
"Ask not, what America can do for you. Ask what together we can do for the freedom of man."
That’s how things went for the first 40 minutes or so of the protest. Various people yelling out impromptu statements followed by the rest of the group repeated it.

20 Occupy Houston protesters arrested
Police arrested 20 Occupy Houston protesters Monday afternoon as more than 100 demonstrators from as far as Dallas and Austin gathered just outside the Houston Port in a coordinated action with other Occupy demonstrations targeting the nation's ports.
More than 1,000 Occupy Wall Street protesters blocked cargo trucks at some of the West Coast's busiest ports Monday, forcing terminals in Oakland, Calif., Portland, Ore., and Longview, Wash., to halt operations.
