Encourage Greenpeace To Work With Sea Shepherd!

As a supporter of many of your efforts, I have a concern for what seems to be a lack of action on your part. As the Japanese Whaling Fleet closes in on the whale sanctuary to commence the killing of 1035 whales, I am concerned at the lack of action taken so far. I visit Greenpeace.org several times each day looking for updated information on your efforts related to this years whale hunt. As of today, the latest news release was dated November 18, 2007. This release provides no new information and simply reiterates information that after 30 years is now common knowledge. Once again the closing paragraph is about "The Great Whale Trail" which is a beneficial scientific study and also of course generates donations.
I clicked through the links and this statement under "view crew blog" stuck out to me, "we are not a military super power, we are just one ship". The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has extended an open invitation to work in collaboration to be a more effective "force" for the whales. So I don't want to hear that you are "just one ship", reach out to the hand that has been extended and and do the right thing. It was also stated that if the whaling fleet is not recalled to Japan, that Greenpeace "will take nonviolent direct action", seems to me that direct action is more effective when working as part of a fleet rather then "just single ship". The last comment that stuck out to me was "Greenpeace will do whatever it takes to protect the whales", so that being said, I encourage Greenpeace to join forces with Sea Shepherd and truly act on the foundation of justice, compassion and yes your written words.
As someone that has supported your efforts both through donations and actions I am hoping you prove my fears wrong and that you have some covert plan that will knock "my socks off". Greenpeace wants donations, we want to see actions, you want supporters, we want results. Put aside whatever is holding you back from doing something monumental in the effort to protect and preserve the whales, it is time for Greenpeace to "Step It Up" as you ask us to do! For the whales!
