So Patriot, et al: think any lefties will show for this? After all it conflicts with the Lesbian Resource center performances & NONViolence training etc....
If we want to rally I will need to get some good response in email, FReepmail soon. Also, their date does not have the "confirmed" stamp of approval yet. Comments?

I followed this link ,and from there I followed another link and so on until I found this:

Now I dont want THOSE people babysitting my kids but what really got me was how they got all their bases covered. I dont know how many things I can't (won't) do something because I wont leave me kids somewhere else with someone else. I love going places that have onsite (or close by) care (even if I have to pay for it) cause I know my kids are close by where I can sneak a peek and make sure they are ok.

See- THEIR people dont have to say "oh no babysitter here can't attend" they can say "oh green gus is having soy milk and carob cookies for the kids while we rally- I'm there!"

And that sucks because WE are supposed to be the pro family pro kids club. Not THEM.

Of course I wish the entire world were more family friendly. If I ever hit the lotto I am going to start by buying up several different businesses and making them all family friendly. Sometimes the simplest things can make the difference between whether I buy at your store or drive down the road to your competitor ( like pay at the pump with your debit card so I dont have to drag the kids 10 feet into the convenience store.)

Well now that I have ranted on about something only vauguely related...
