Protesting Kerry/Edwards in Dayton
July | Martin's Kid

Posted on 7/7/2004, 5:01:45 PM by Martins kid

I'd hate to think that I'll be the only one protesting Kerry and Edwards in Dayton, Ohio Today - July 7. Will anyone be joining me?

Can't be there (in Detroit), but I'll send some positive thoughts your way. Hope you don't have to go it alone. :-)

Sometimes it is best to just forego it rather than look pathetic with a dismal turnout. I remember when the city of Houston was going to have a big rally to keep the Oilers from moving to Tennessee. About 15 old people with pennants showed up. It was pathetic.

Sometimes, if you are not fully armed, it's best not to go into battle and risk looking decimated.

I decided since no one else was going I would not add to their numbers this time. when Bush as in town I held a sign supporting him and the local new counted us with the protestors. Accuracy is not a media goal in Dayton. Around here the Democrats have a bunch of thugs who physically threaten you (or mug you if you are alone)if you protest Kerry or support Bush. Protesting has gotten rather nasty in the Dayton area. I doubt if the media covers the mugging.

Rule #1 of freeping: Unless it is dangerous, go every time you can. It's always worth it, because one freeper is worth 1,000 bussed-in libs.

Also, don't assume you would be alone because of responses in a 6 response thread! I know for a fact Freepers planned to attend, including a bunch of Kentuckians.

Same here in Cincinnati.

Understatement of the year. I am still laughing at your comment. Thanks.
