AREA HOTEL FORCED TO SHUT DOORS BY LAW ENFORCEMENT
Democratic Convention Delegates, Progressives Pushed Away
Elected Officials, Labor Leaders Restrained from Entry.

SNIP..."Former Governor Howard Dean, D-Vt., filmmaker Michael Moore, former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich and Campaign for America's Future Co-director Robert Borosage were among the headliners at the event held at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge. Event organizers created a second rally site on the hotel lawn to capture the energy of those who couldn't get in. Moore and Dean spoke on both stages."

Today:
SNIP..."The Campaign for America's Future plans to hold a debate between former Senator Gary Hart, D-Colo., Amb. Joe Wilson, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and The Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel at the same location tomorrow afternoon. Event organizers are looking into how to expand the size of the venue."

2. Just Joined and Have a ?
Hi,

I live next to Pa, a swing state that will see alot of both candidates. I would like to go to a Bush rally and do some old fashioned heckling. How does one go about producing the deer in the head lites look in Bush's eyes?

1) Where do I find his travel plans?
2) Are there any details listing the Republican gauntlet I will have to run?
3) What are the risks of my actions a) getting bounced on my butt or a trip to the slammer?

Thanks,
Weedwacker

ps I spend alot of time on FPM giving them a hard time. Look for "Weedwacker".

3. That stinks!
I was in line with 2 other DUers (RationalRose and Jonnyblitz) and one of the security guys came by and told us that the event was full, so we left (after waiting in line for an hour and a half). Oh well, still got to go to the DU gathering and John Breaux's party; shook hands with Leahy (wanted to ask if he had any catch phrases for me :evilgrin:
