This truely is an insult, but the BPD has been really cool with us in the past. They may just let us march to the FleetCenter saying they couldn't have possibly controlled the "unruly republicans".
I also heard from GuinnessBoy that an anrchist group, the Black Tea Society, is planning to protest as well. We'll have to be sure to separate ourselves from them, if not physically then ideologically. I suggest signs with the GOP Elephant (i think this elephant needs a name, a term of endearment) and BIG AMERICAN FLAGS!
