My daughter and I, along with other family members, leave for NYC on Saturday. We’ll be there through Thanksgiving. I pray that we will be safe.

You’ll be fine. Just avoid these jokers. I read someone’s comments on another site. He works in another part of the city and said you would never know this protest was going on.

When I heard the 2004 Republican National Convention would be held in NYC, I thought it would be a great opportunity to volunteer. I hesitated at first, thinking that Manhattan would be a dangerous place to be. Then I changed my mind and volunteered all week...making signs at first then..
On Saturday and Sunday we were taken in vans to the airports to greet delegates. I met one from Illinois who had never been to NYC.
I gave him a tour of NYC on Monday...from 12 noon to 12 midnight. We used the subways, walked around Wall Street, Battery Park, took the ferry to Staten Island, walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, went to Ground Zero, used the PATH to NJ and back, etc.
On Tuesday, he took my daughter and me to the convention at Madison Square Garden, where George W. and family were. What an honor! Anyhow, through all this, we never had any problems. The police had everything under control.
And I just found this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Republican_National_Convention_protest_activity
