Ted Hayes told me that he plans to show up WITHOUT a permit, but I would prefer that we do this FReep "by the book" - or not at all.Agree. If a law is unjust, then work to change the law. There is no way I would lend my credibility to acts of disobedience. Leave that for the despots.
Do we try to contact the folks who are running this Marathon - to ask if we can join their event - and risk them telling us "NO!"
Or do we try to go around them, and apply for a "parade permit" from the City
So, if all of these Marathon-authorized "entertainment centers" are operating all along the race course, we should be able to maintain a presence there, too - right?
Of course, ask everyone. They might be willing to help. Refused? Politely request a written explanation for the refusal.
Will the L.A. Marathon folks fight us attempting to add a pro-USA slant to THEIR event?Please, don't pre-judge your audience. Leave the name calling and labeling for our opponents. Sell the FIT-AIM-ACT program by learning all the details. You are a salesman in the marketplace of public opinion. Dress nice. Be pleasant. Smile often. If you believe in FIT-AIM-ACT, this should be an easy sell. Your audience will be pleasantly surprised when they found out they really met a conservative. You have the high ground. Oppose FIT-AIM-ACT? Well that makes you "pro-terrorist." Right? :)
Are they ALL lefties?
If denied access, issue press releases clearly identifying who and what organization opposing the FIT-AIM-ACT March against Terrorism. After you collected all of the details, let them politely know you plan a press release. This plays very well if some anti-USA types were already offered forum access for their ideas. They might suddenly become more helpful. :)
If you need to "rent space," if some faction of FIT-AIM-ACT is non-profit, put out a clear collection jar. Start with a couple of $10's in the jar.
You might also reach out to other groups like Neighborhood Watch. Every act of terrorism is a crime. A good neighborhood watch is the most effective weapon against terrorism.
This Saturday (1/25), I will attend a planning meeting with Ted Hayes and leaders from other conservative groups - like VetsCoR and BOND - who plan to participate in this event.I will report back here after that meeting, but this appears to be a GREAT idea.
VetsCoR shared a display booth with FIT-AIM-ACT and S.A.F.E Foundation at the Veterans Day event in Branson, MO last Novemeber 2002. past announcement thread here
VetsCoR endorses FIT-AIM-ACT and the S.A.F.E Foundation and will continue to work toward our mutual goals of Defense Awareness and Military Support.
