Having been to Columbus, I immediately went straight up to the ranking Swat officer and introduced myself as one of the leaders of the group.

I had my Portage County name tag with my title clearly displayed and I was wearing a Portage County TEA Party hat. I said to him, “Our goal is to make sure that there are no incidents at this event today and that everyone gets out of here safely. I want to know where you want our people to stand, so we can keep them apart from the union protestors, and what rules you want us to follow to help your people maintain order.” He was immediately responsive.
He said, “That is what I want to hear.”

Staying above the fray and moral depravity of the left.

FreeRepublic protocol...

Yep, standard FR protocol. We did it yesterday at the White House when countering the message of ANSWER, Code Pink and the rest of the clueless morons.
