Counter-Protest, August 29th, New York City REMINDER
hockeyfreak

Posted on 05/12/2004 10:49:24 AM PDT by hockeyfreak

This is a reminder to those who may have forgotten about the massive million in the streets event that is planned by the left during the Republican national convention. This massive march will take place August 29th, the Sunday that begins the convention week. We've talked about this in the past, about a month or two ago, but its getting closer. How many of you are planning on attending. We currently have 7 chapters of the Protest Warriors signed up and we're looking for more help. Our 7 chapters constitutes 160 people, so get your butts up there to New York!

Our experience has been that the NYPD would keep us counterprotestors blocks away from any interaction with the smelly leftists.

Unless the counterprotest would endorse and do what PW does, i am not sure what good it will do.

NYPD can't do much if a counter-counter-protest was unorganized....

We will be doing a protest but not wading in among the lefties. We don't have specifics at this point, because it has not been decided yet what time of day the other side will be protesting, or where.

More information to come as we get closer to the convention.

I understand not many are up for the type of infiltration that Protest Warriors do, but it would be nice to see a lot of you out there, even if it is on the side of the road screaming at them.

BTW, our new video from March 20th is out

We will be well protected by the NYPD. Hope your leg heals really really fast.

I am definitely there..no doubt about it. I have been writing a letter to Jim Robinson and Kristinn to see if we could get a message board so people can share rides or carpool to NY for this. I also think local Freepers in NY should consider housing some of our out-of-town supporters while they protest/rally with us...I know I would be wlling.

We need to get a permit, no doubt...now, if we happen to meander from the permitted area to harass the opposition, that is another thing.

Also, we should try and hook up with other conservative groups who are planning similiar rallies (Citizens United, etc) as the larger the group the better it is.

And please, don't suggest a counter protest won't matter..it definitely will! I was a one-man Freep at a Hitlery book signing and it bugged DU so much they had a two-day post talking about the "loser" freeper who protested hillary for one hour!!!

They haven't decided where they will be marching, but it will be in the immediate area around the convention in Manhatten.

Has everyone seen the groups affiliated with the counter protest being planned for RNC New York?
I hope there will be lots of FReepers there!
