Bryant Lake Regional Park Protest Picnic

In the late afternoon of this coming Tuesday, August 21, George W Bush will be the honored guest at a fundraising reception for Senator Norm Coleman at the home of William and Tani Austin at 6641 Beach Road, on the west shore of Bryant Lake, in Eden Prairie, MN.

Have you received your invitation? Perhaps not and perhaps just as well. It costs $1,000 per person to get in the door. If you want a photo-op with W, it will cost you $10,000 per couple at the co-host level, or you can go for the host level at $14,000 per couple. This party is not being organized for ordinary citizens such as you and me. The press is not invited, either. As W once said to a similarly ritzy dinner gathering, "This is an impressive crowd - the haves and the have-mores. Some people call you the elites; I call you my base."

WEEP NOT! WE, THE PEOPLE, CAN HAVE A VERY IMPOSING PRESENCE AT THIS PARTY. WE ARE PLANNING A BRING-YOUR-OWN-LUNCH PICNIC within sight and hearing of W's party. Relative to Bush's party, we will be on the other side of a very small stretch of water at the north end of the puddle of water called Bryant Lake. We will be at Bryant Lake Regional Park. This park has a public beach, a public boat launch, a picnic area, and a concession where rowboats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats can be rented out. It is a small park, so there will probably be no problem finding each other. We will probably gather at the dock near the public launch. From there, it is only a few hundred yards across open water to the $3,000,000 Austin mansion. BRING LARGE SIGNS and BANNERS, and what other media devices you have to get your messages to Bush and Coleman. If you want to fly an anti war kite, I will have a few on hand to lend out for the occasion.

The official invitation for W's elite base says:
Doors open at 2:30 PM
Doors close at 3:15 PM
Photo opportunity at 3:45 PM
Reception begins at 4:15 PM

THE PEOPLE - THAT'S US - SHOULD GET TO BRYANT LAKE REGIONAL PARK AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
