Just got off the phone with Firebrand. The NYPD is jerking us around as usual. We are allowed to go through only on 40th street and will have to converge at the corner of 41st street and 1st avenue.I am updating the hotline 917-387-8865 of any changes.

I will try to post with my pocket pc from the location as soon as I get there. Getting in my car and will try to drive into Manhattan.

Well its 23 degrees in NYC - I hope the freepers keep warm.

How did these people get so organized? They network with hundreds, maybe thousands, of other lefty organizations around the world. Because they are so large and so loud, they cow many corporations into supporting their seditions.

If conservatives would learn how to play, we might be able to beat them at their own game. As long as we stay fragmented and fighting over small pieces of turf, we'll be pushing that boulder up the hill for a long time.

BTW - Media coverage, which is the name of the game, might be improved by holding rallies on days when the lefties aren't hogging the cameras.

Are you sure that wasn't a CNN Chickie laying an egg?

[abner]

I can't watch CNN!

[P.O.E.]

"He was a good egg" :)

Well right now they are doing the Space Science program. Nothing on the protests. MSNBC has a terrorism expert on.

I could hear Curtis Sliwa firing up our troops in the background. Doctor Raoul said about 50 freepers are braving the cold and had to get off the phone as someone just threw an egg over the balcony from an apartment building.

That reminds me of the time Marylander and I were protesting outside the New York Times Washington Bureau and someone lobbed an egg from an upper window and almost hit us! Eggs splatter in every direction in a very large area! GO DOCTOR RAOUL, GO CURTIS SLIWA, GO TRI-STATE CHAPTER GO!! Kudos to all of you.

It's breaking my heart that I'm not there....Red Cross called yesterday and said they're at critical level of my kind of blood and asked if I could come in today (there's some common virus most people have in their blood that's not in mine and they use it for preemie babies :-(

I'm rooting for you guys!!!!!!!!

Any casualties? He got off rather quickly but said the egg didn't make contact. Anxious to hear further updates.

[Angelwood]

We tried to pick a date to hold a rally without competition. Alas, our Park Ranger contact says that the ANSWER people have put permit applications in weekly or biweekly months in advance. They don't just get a permit for a large gathering in one place; they permit all the desirable locations and use a tactic of staging areas where smaller numbers of protesters can meet and then march (and join up with others along the way) to the main event. This keeps other groups from getting good locations to mount a counterprotest.

[Conservababe]

Well, all those preparations are for naught, if the media doesn't bother to cover the march. LOL

[areafiftyone]

All the DUer no protesting are going to e-mail the media and they are so angry. I just love it!!

[dware]

I am looking for someone that can get me a couple of copies of the NY Post's "Axis of Wesels" edition from yesterday (2/14/03). I would be happy to pay for the papers, postage, etc.

Please let me know if you can help!
