Anti-inagural

Press release For 51capitalmarch.com

January 13 2005. Houston, Texas: www.51capitalmarch.com, a Houston-based web site dedicated to eliminating election fraud announced Thursday a lunchtime protest in the park behind City Hall in Houston from 11AM to 1:00PM on Thursday, January 20th. The stated purpose of the event is to protest election fraud that occurred during the November 2nd election in conjunction with similar anti-inaugural activities in other cities around the country. Citing their rallying cry of "Make a Sign and Show Up" used to good effect for the recent March On Washington on January 6th and protests at 41 State Capitols last December 12th, 51 Capital March urges Houston citizens to stand up and voice their objections to our stolen elections and to the loss of our democracy. Other upcomming events, and details availble at www.51capitalmarch.com

---------------There is a break down in communication.
My husband could just take a long lunch for this.
Don't know what I would do, though. Have trouble with driving around Houston now.
Good grief.

I want to "fall in love and then fall in line"
but where is the freakin' line?

1. and this...
http://www.protest.net/HIMC/calendrome.cgi?span=event&ID=504046&day=20&month=&year=2005&state_values=

<snip>
INAUGURATE YOURSELF!! From dawn to dusk, we call for individuals, organizations and affinity groups to retake public space with street theater, guerilla messaging, banner drops and other forms of creative resistance to tell the world that resistance is fertile in the belly of the beast. Furthermore, we call for workers and students to non-violently not cooperate with business as usual by calling in sick, missing work or walking out. At noon, we'll rally in front of the library at the University of Houston for a moving festival of resistance. This lively rowdy march will parade through campus and call for non-violent non-cooperation as students and faculty walk out of their classrooms. That evening at 7pm, we'll reclaim the streets of Houston with an "Inaugurate Yourself" party.

--------------
(This is what we thought we were going to do.)

3. Looks like it....
My husband and I were planning to go to U of H.

Today a lawyer at work asked him if he was going to
U of H and didn't seem to know about the City Hall deal...
sooo I guess we will go to U of H.

Hope he doesn't get fired.


:eyes:

4. Both
I plan on going to both. The City Hall event starts at 11:00, the U of H event starts at 12:00 and will probably go later than the City Hall protest. I'll hit City Hall, then head over to U of H around 12:30.

There's an event in the evening too. I've got it posted on the KPFT Community Calendar.

See y'all there.

7. Driving in Houston
Driving in Houston is absolutely rediculous. Perhaps if the city were to time the traffic lights a little better and make more highway access the streets wouldn't be so .... oh wait, what I am saying. The city is never going to do anything about it. Silly me.
