I wish I could be there!!! Since protecting democracy seems to have come to being arrested, I quote one of my favorite radicals,”The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Saul Alinsky
Hello Jodin & Mikael –
Hope alls well with you there, wish I could have joined you.
Good luck and watch out… seems that everyone doing anything but kowtowing to McAwful & Palin are being arrested.
At a big meeting like you’re describing the police will have a ready-made charge:
“Conspiracy to commit Democracy”
