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?

I spent most of yesterday designing an anti-torture/anti-GOP tee

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-.

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

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

News on the mass protests planned for the 2008 RNC and DNC

I disagree

mgresist — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 02:17:17 -0400

Having dealt with problems getting permits by both the capitol and the city, we need to ask now to ensure that we will be given a location close to the action. Turning back the permit applications can be seen as a way of "putting people off" until the protest pen locations are decided. By then, it will be too late to push for a better location because "all of the logistics have been decided--you should have come to us earlier." At this point, the ACLU should get involved. They've been wanting to take on this permitting process for some time--here's their chance.

St. Paul returns applications

Shaunvoiceofreason — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 16:45:21 -0400

This isn't a big deal. The city has a basic rules on when you can turn in a protest application. These rules are for everyone. It doesn't matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat, the same rules apply for all events. If everyone would just stay patient, you'll get your applications approved in the proper time alloted by the city. The city is run by Democrats. They're on your side. If something goes wrong with the applications, it's pretty clear that it's well documented who and how many wanted to protest. If people aren't allowed to protest, it would be a good thing because it would turn more attention toward the Republicans and how they denied people the right to protest.
