Several wives and mothers of serving troops are conducting a weekly counterprotest of a Kerry/antiwar protest at the corner of Laurel Canyon and Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, CA, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. There have been a couple of minor incidents (one restraining order in place and a prosecution for assault pending) but we need a few more bodies to hold the two corners facing the lefty crowd. The point is not to provoke confrontations but to provide a presence. We can provide flags and signs or you're welcome to bring your own. Anybody who can get down there is welcome.
No, Lauren Schmitt originally organized it, but she broke her foot. I'm just getting the word out.
If you want to make your own sign with a specific sentiment, you're welcome. We generally have extra flags and signs on hand.
There are several parking lots handy; the best one is probably the one behind the pharmacy.
Dress casually; it's getting darker early now so figure on the temperature being in the low 70's upper 60's by 8 p.m. Also, you wight want to think about bring a flashlight or clip-on light for your sign.
The Studio City rally starts at 6 and is usually over by 8. Feel free to turn up at any time.
I pass by there every day on my way home from work on the bus. Scheduling conflicts have prevented me from coming so far but I'm itching to join in. But if you see a beefy, 5'11" redhead Irishman walking up to you one of these Fridays, fear not! Just gimme a sign!
And yes, this week we'll have a radio for the debates.
