Got what follows from a homeschool discussion group I belong to:
Hi Everyone --
Sorry about the cross-posting, but this should be a pretty cool educational event.
Disclaimer -- I am only posting this to let homeschooling families know of a great educational opportunity. Nothing more, nothing less. Please do not make this a big political thread -- that's not the intention. I am a firm believer in "Take what you want and delete the rest". I'm 100% flame proof.
Former President Bill Clinton will be speaking with John Kerry at LOVE Park, 16th and JFK Blvd in Center City Philadelphia on Monday, October 25th. LOVE park is located directly next to City Hall. Gates open at 10am and you can download tickets from John Kerry's website (easily found via a google search). As of now, it appears that there are still tix available.
Be warned that even though this is a ticketed event, there will be zillions of people and visibility may be limited. I do not recommend driving, as I'm certain many of the local streets will be closed to traffic. The smartest way to come into the city is via public transit -- but check with the SEPTA website and make sure that they will be allowing trains to stop at Suburban Station (right under LOVE Park).
If you do drive -- there is plenty of free, unlimited parking between South and Catherine, and between Broad and 13th. It is an easy, 15-20 minute walk up broad street to Love Park.
Oh -- the one thing I noticed on out tix is that, for security purposes, you can't bring signs, bags, or umbrellas. Travel light.

stage is not big enough
Wonder if Oct. 25th will be Kerry's Ides of March?

Don't bother Freeping it. You won't get near there. I know the area, and it's around lunchtime. It's a zoo already without BJ Clinton being there.
I hope it rains!

bill clinton campaigning for you...kiss of death
Has Kerry really thought this through? Clinton on the same stage with Kerry will just highlight how dull,boring,and awkward looking Kerry really is.
My impression also. Part of Philadelphia where the streets were planned before the automobile was invented. I sure hope they know what they're doing. Or, let me rephrase this: I sure hope they DON'T know what they're doing, and tick off a lot more suburban Philly and NJ commuters than they inspire!
"plenty of free, unlimited parking"
Really? The area must have changed a lot since I went to school! (Unless, of course, you don't care if your car is still there when you get back!)
I agree. But his campaign is kind of desperate. He will try anything at this point.
hmmm maybe we need to pay attention ...... there might be some problems
There's a rather interesting quote in an ABC News story linked on Drudge. Right at the end is this Clinton quote: "There's only so much anyone else can do in a campaign that he or she is not the candidate in." If this is how he feels, then why is he even bothering to show up?
clinton...10:00 am. I doubt it. More like 1:00 pm.
She'll be under the podium,a la Police Academy...LOLOL
If Penn. is in the bag for Kerry why is he using a big day at the last week of the campaign using his biggest boost (BJ) in Philadelphia?
I heard they are expecting about 1600 people
While Bush and crew will be filling an 80,000 seat stadium!!
Kerry has to encourage the troops to get out there and vote, vote, and vote some more. Forging that many ballots can be tiring work. (Philly is a big vote-fraud center)
