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.

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