Are they expecting a large turn-out? Any other DUers going?

Anyone going? I can hear you breathing.

Maybe we can try to meet again like when Greg Palast was in town.

I'll make sure my cell phone is charged and working this time. Pick a time and a spot. PM me your number again if you would. Hopefully, things will work out better. I may have to cut out a little early, though, because I have to work later in the afternoon.

...and bringing my video camera. I have a tendency to wear pretty loud Hawaiian shirts. If you see me and I'm not taping a speech, you can say :hi:

Perhaps I'll see you tomorrow

from OUR Nation's Capital....I was in Chicago for a protest in March...it was at Daly Plaza, near the big Picasso statue....great people...I always enjoy being in Chicago....

thanks for all your help...you are the backbone of America....Keep up the good work....
