That's what's so beautiful about this move.

Think of how Farm-Aid and some of the other such concerts were presented. They were huge displays of caring for the people who raise our food. The situation was desperate and the government wasn't doing anything about it, so caring people directly intervened.

Now we have a situation where the course of action prescribed by our constitution is being denied to us by the LEADER OF THE OPPPOSITION PARTY. And once again, caring people--citizens--are directly intervening.

If this doesn't point out to the world how pathetic and estranged from the people that this government is, I don't know what will.

I am sure, too, that the planners of this event will realize the event will be off limits by the American media and that they will have to depend on foreign media for coverage.
