1. How much?

I am sure you will be shelling out at least a thousand bucks to get within earshot of * and the family man.

2. According to the website, it's

INDIVIDUAL TICKETS
$250
One Dinner Ticket
Floor Level Seating

I've heard that you can get a photo for a mere $10,000 contribution.

The outside gathering, on the other hand, will be free of charge and you'll be in much better company!

I'm trying to get a handle on which groups will be protesting, and where the "free speech zone" will be.

4. LOL!

My last * arrest has been officially expunged from the record, so I will travel to DM a clean, law-abiding citizen. With entirely inappropriate shoes on.

:hi:

5. Wow, I might be interested in checking that free speech zone out

but Chomsky is going to be speaking in Ames at 8 pm. I could maybe make a roadtrip out of the events, save no detours to Polk Co. finest facilties.

9. from the IDP -- Rally for Iowa's Priorities

George W. Bush and Jim Nussle, the co-authors of the largest deficits in American history will be appearing together at a $10,000 per person fundraiser at the Iowa Events Center on Tuesday, April 11th.

We want to let the president know that his priorities, and Jim Nussle’s priorities, are misplaced, and out of touch with Iowa Values. Please join your fellow Iowans for a rally to let George Bush and Jim Nussle know that trying to reduce the federal deficit on the backs of working Americans while providing massive tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans is unacceptable.

WHERE: Nollen Plaza—3rd Avenue and Locust Avenue in Downtown Des Moines (across from the Des Moines Civic Center). Convenient parking is located in the municipal ramp at between 3rd Avenue and 4th Street.

WHEN: Tuesday, April 11, 4:00 p.m.

PLEASE RSVP TO: Brad Frevert at 515-244-7292 or [e-mail]

10. Another sign idea: Who Would Jesus Torture?

I suppose I'd better go to represent SDS again. And the IWW too.

11. My sign idea

All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

12. Still trying to figure something out

How does bush speaking to the repubs help Nussle at all? Bush's poll numbers are as low as ever and there is no way his visit to our great state will help Nussle. He sure didn't help in Virginia. Hope you all behave out there today and yell for me too. Sis is having surgery and it's lawn care season, so I'll be busy for a while.

13. They will raise a boatload of money
