Update from Occupy Tampa protesters

Occupy Tampa update from the protesters:
"At about 10:30 m the police came and asked us to take down tents, the lawyer told us to comply.. so we did. Then the police told us that we must remove everything and that we needed to leave. We choose to stay, but removed all donations, sleeping stuff, tents, food, etc away to several locations. They said we were blocking the sidewalk and therefore had to remove all our stuff (Btw this is the same cop that we had a run in with a couple days ago.)
Some people left but 25- 30 stayed and are still here. We held a GA and decided that no matter what we are staying; we will comply at this time with the other demands but will not leave.
We got a call from Occupy Miami (florida) and Orlando, who said they back us up and are on their way now to support and camp with us. We are told buses of people are coming in support. We know the cops might try again, but we will not back down. We are going to stay and want everyone here with us.
We need food that can be eaten fast then thrown away, since we can not keep anything on property at this moment.. but we will not give up and will be here 24/7 with the other occupies of Florida.. Spread the word.. we need people. They choose to do this when we had 8 people there. So we need more people. Come out and support us."
