Bob J, and others, we had about 60 people there at the counter-demonstration. We had 2 leaders, SeenTheLight and comwatch, who helped figure out logistics; HighRoadtoChina had put together a brochure about Iraq and why we oppose Saddam so strongly; and I had put together a Fact Sheet refuting the most common protest points one by one. We all talked to reporters, since as you know they don't like being steered to 'spokespeople.' We have some PR expertise in our (nascent) chapter. so we were able to get the word out on local AM radio as well as via FR. So I think we were as organized as a truly grass-roots effort can be.

Sounds great! If you wouldn't mind, put that information into a summary and we can post it on the FRN website so other chapters can benefit from your knowledge and experience!
