Update on Chimp's KSU speech, I'm PROTESTING!
It'll be my first real protest and the first political thing I've ever done! I can hardly wait! My boss is letting me off work and my husband may even be able to go. This has just made my day!!!

1. Will they let you protest anywhere near KSU?

2. Yep!
Sounds like we'll be on the grass around Bramlage or on the sidewalk in front. The only bad thing is Phelps will be there. We'll be sure to avoid him though. I think I'm meeting MuseRider and going with her!

4. I hope to! I just need ideas on a sign.
I think I'll stand with the Manhattan Alliance for Peace & Justice so an anti-Phelps sign would fit in well. Any ideas on a good sign to express multiple disagreements? With B*** and Phelps?

6. How about "Racism and homophobia are not leadership qualities"

9. Thank you, I will
I'm going to get posterboard on my lunch break. I just hope I can stay excited over the weekend and not let myself get angry. The man infuriates me, but I think the anticipation of speaking out will keep my anger at bay. Just wish me luck on not getting arrested; I work at a local bank and it would NOT look good on me!

12. Nah, I'll behave
I promise. I'm too chicken to even go if my husband can't get off work so I had to make plans with another DUer to meet and go together just so I can't chicken out. I will make you all proud and I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes!

5. Lucky! Have a great time!
I got to protest the Dink's visit to Duluth, during last election season. I got to stand right out at the street and "greet":evilgrin: his motorcade as he went by. It felt very good to offer a hearty "fuck you!" in person.

11. Doesn't it though?
I went to the Coronation last January and gave him a Nazi salute. Very gratifying!
