Not to rain on your parade -- but, the anti-war protests don't give free bus rides, free lunches or free t-shirts. If you want to go on a bus, you have to pay for a ticket. If you want a t-shirt, you have to buy it. I don't know anything about bag lunches. I work downtown LA and the protests go by my office, and I've gone down to look around. They have booths selling t-shirts, buttons, etc., and sign up sheets for buses to the next rally, with a listing of the prices. I'm not sure where the scummy unemployed liberals get the money to buy this stuff, but somehow they manage.

Ya know somebody has to put down the $$$ to Reserve these buses and that aint cheap. The tshirts and buttons etc are sold by enterprising socialists who undoubtedly will be at the top of the politbureau shooting their useful idiots when the revolution comes.

And of course if you want to ride the bus around you have to pay for it such that the organizers will have enough left to pay the printers for the nicely printed international World Workers Party signs they hand out to everyone. But you must understand that these big rallies are state and corporate sponsored as illustrated by the number of flags from despotic nations, international socialist flags and anarchists that accompany them. These buses and the fuel for them is not cheap.

You try chartering a bus to cincinatti sometime and you will see. I imagine that if the freepers could get ourselves a 503(c) Tax Exempt designation that we could get some corporate sponsorship. But then we would end up having to pretend to be an 'educational' site and not blatantly political like we in reality are.

But that's a line of thinking for another thread. And would probably require that we become as nefarious and dishonest as our liberal counterparts. Their exempt status would never survive an IRS Audit if it werent for the probability that they would scream about 'discrimination'.

anyway... /rant

Maybe not all, but we have seen the proof, some college in Mi or WI passed around a flyer, and most of us read it last Oct, they offered free rides and board for those who went, this is not a joke or myth, I saw the flyer personnaly. I think Sauropod has it
