No Protest for YOU...The Peace Nazis of NYC at it again.
I need some ideas. How do we coelesce these disparate protest groups around a similar location/message/time?

I want the GOP convention to be brought low by the image of law-and-order NY police trying to contain a bunch of grannies, kids, and reglr folks trying to spread the message that the war and Bush's failed policies have hurt all of us.

this is the link to the article.

Who's with me if we need to do have a gargantuan civil disobedience parade?

1. i sure as hell don't understand why they wont' give a permit and have
SOME control of what is going to be a HUGE crowd. Do they really think that a lack of a permit will stop hundreds of thousands of people descending on Manhattan with or without "permission"


Stupid Stupid Stupid

2. No kidding
If they gave a permit for Central Park, at LEAST the protesters would have a central gathering place. It's going to be chaos without it.

3. This is exactly what Chicago did to Abbie Hoffman and Co
before the Chicago Democratic Convention .

They refused to give a permit and Abbie predicted
that kids would get hurt because of it ...

He was right ....This stinks to high heaven .
