Is this what is also known as the "RNC Protest Stage"?
Will there be speakers on it every night, or just at the State capitol?

Hi James! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply, for some reason I thought I'd get an email notification when I got a reply so I hadn't checked back until now. If you're still interested in staying with us give me a shout at c-beil@lycos.com

THE PROTEST REMOVES COLEMAN-SEPT. 9, MN. GOP SENATE PRIMARY

Jack Shepard 4 MN US Senate Stop the War — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 13:43:30 -0400

By voting for me, "Just use Jack Shepard as a tool in the GOP Primary to remove Sen. Norm Coleman" visit www.jackshepardforsenate.com to learn more about how to "Dump Norm" in the GOP Senate Primary on Sept. 9, 2008, only 5 days after the RNC; by using me, Jack Shepard just as a tool "to Dump Minnesota's Senator Norm Coleman" in the Minnesota GOP U.S. Senate Primary on Sept. 9, 2008; just 5 days after the RNC Peace Anti-War Protests we can remove Senator Norm Coleman from the Minnesota U.S. Senate Race.

This will add massive National Media coverage to our Anti-War Protest! Not only did we protested RNC but we had an action call and actually removed Sen. Norm Coleman from the U.S. Senate, especially because he has been the leading cheerleader for the continuation of the Iraqi War in continuing to vote for a never ending time table for the Iraqi War. I call Sen. Norm Coleman a "Chicken-Hawk" because he refused to serve his country during the Vietnam War but he can send our sons, daughters, mothers and fathers off to fight in the Iraqi War.

To eliminate Minnesota's Senator Norm Coleman from the U.S. Senate; just days after the RNC was held in Minnesota would get massive international publicity for our Anti-War Protest and would send signals to other politicians up for re-election in the General election to re-think their position on the Iraqi War.

To eliminate Senator Norm Coleman from the Senate I, Jack Shepard must get a Rush Limbaugh style crossover! But this time DFLer and Anti-War Protesters crossing over by a massive number of Minnesota Anti-war protester, Democrats, Independents, Green and just Anti-Norm people we can get National Media attention by removing the most vocal supporter of the Iraqi War from the U.S. senate just 5 days after the RNC.

This crossover vote for Jack Shepard in the GOP Primary if successful will make it possible for in the Minnesota General Election that Al Franken the DFL Candidate who is against the Iraqi War but presently behind in the polls by 12% to Norm Coleman to easily get elected in the Minnesota U.S. Senate General Election easily if Iraqi War Cheerleader Norm Coleman's name is not on the ballot of the Minnesota U.S. Senate General Election Ballot.. This elimination of Norm Coleman from the U.S. Senate less then a week after the RNC protests will add reality to and fear into the debate about the Iraqi War; we are saying and we are almost immediately proving if you continue to support this very unpopular Iraqi War; if you are a congressman up for re-election if you support the unending Iraqi War; it could very easily hurt your chances of election or re-election like it did to Senator Norm Coleman .by a surprise crossover into the Minnesota GOP Senate Primary just to remove Norm Coleman, so in the General Election the Minnesota voters can elect an Anti-War Democrat Al Franken as Minnesota’s next U.S. Senator from Minnesota-.

I am a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War and am looking for a safe place to stay when I come to protest. I, too, am a vegetarian and also consider myself a huge fan of art, film and music. Let me know if you are interested in hosting me. I am very low maintenance :-) All I need is a safe roof over my head and compassionate hosts.

Thanks,
James

Looks like a Housing section

charliecopper — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 20:49:47 -0500

Looks like a Housing section has been set up in the forum (http://www.protestrnc2008.org/forum), I just posted an offer to host there.

Places for protesters to stay during RNC

Digityd22 — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:58:07 -0500

Hello everyone.

I want to help people that are coming to protest from out of state find a FREE and SAFE place to stay.

I truly believe by offering this kind of service, we can bring in many more protesters that are torn about coming due to the financial burden of lodging.

So, if you think that you might come or you think that you can be a host, please contact me VIA email. ebayer4567@gmail.com

Any other questions, ideas and or links to others trying to do the same as me would be most helpful....

Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from you soon....

Peace and Love

crashtheconventions — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 14:53:26 -0500

Any plans to post pictures or a report back from the meetings today and yesterday? I'd love to hear about it.

"Safe house" or hosting

sakura senshi — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 00:13:55 -0500

My son, who is part of the Port Olympia Militarization Resistance movement, has said many of his friends are coming to St. Paul to protest at the convention and are looking for "safe houses" or places to go for shelter or even recovery from possible police violence. Those of us who live near the convention center should consider offering our apartments or lofts as such, even if we don't have to room to house many people. Water, meals or snacks, place to use the bathroom and get out of the rain, heat, whatever the weather, would be appreciated. Thanks!

On the way home from the RNC Town Hall meeting, someone spotted this license plate on the road and was able to snap a quick picture of it. The truth is revealed!
