IM001078 to IM001082; Group picture at our original location hidden from sight @ 41st and 1st. The cops hid us way out of sight so nobody would know we were even in existence. IM001083 to IM001095; Under the leadership of our fearless Firebrand we went to the corner of 42nd street and 2nd avenue where we had an audience. It didn't last long, after 40 minutes of yelling at the unwashed the "higher ups" decided it was time for us to be put in the closet again and they made us go back to our original location hidden from view. IM001096 to IM001097; Back at our original location we mull our next move. IM001098: Sauropod with his custom made sign. IM001099 toIM001101; Curtis Sliwa gives the troops a 15 minute pep talk and speech. I have to talk to Curtis and convince him that if he ever wants to take a paycut, he should run for office. IM001102 to IM001104; Dutchy and Curtis pose for the camera. IM001105; Yours truly, Cacique and Curtis. IM001106 to IM001107; Curtis and RaceBannon. IM001108 to IM001113; We retire at McFadden's and have some drink and food after we decide there is little more we can do under the circumstances. If anyone wants to have the original 1 meg files to make 8x10 prints please freepmail me. I will write on a separate thread certain lessons learned from our interlude today. For one thing, we need to find out who those 1,000 pro Bush portesters at Columbus circle were and whether we can contact them and coordinate our activities. If we can do that on a nationwide basis even better. I hope all Freepers out there do some research and post your results. Anything anyone can find out about the rally at Columbus Circle will be welcomed. The left thrives in being united under umbrella organizations and bringing together as many disparate left organizations to achieve an end. We need to learn to do the same. I will post a separate thread on my observations. |
