How close to the RNC will they let us get?
Having been to the anti-war demonstration in Feb 2003 I think they'll keep us far away.

Anybody know about this?

1. New Jersey will be the 'Free Speech Zone' for the RNC convention
if they have their way.

2. What about the DNC?
I just heard that the same hardliner police chief that was brought to Miami for the WTO hearing last year will be in charge in Boston. They are also planning "free speech areas".

Tell me again why I should support the democrats? I keep forgetting.

3. how hard can you push, and how much does tear gas bother you?
It all depends on how good your gas mask is and how durable your helmet is.

4. Close to the vest
All depends on whether or not they decide to close Penn Station. According to the fool Bloomberg, that option is on the ttable despite previous assertions to the contrary. They also want to close down the GPO on 8th. I think it ultimately depends on what happens between now and then. If we continue Operation Clusterfuck in Iraq, or if the economy starts to go seriously south, they will push the protestors further and further back. Its the difference between and "angry mob", and "peace-loving tree-huggers"

I'm not for violent confrontation, but neither will I abide being penned in my own hometown.

Either way, have started stashing away bail money.

See you in the Streets.

5. I will be there my brother!
They can put concrete blocks on I 95 and shut down the Harlem/New Haven line and I'll fucking walk there!
